| Chassis kit to Defender conversion
Hi there Does anyone have the list of parts / part numbers to convert the TRX4 chassis kit to the full spec defender. I have picked up the kit to build with my boy and we want to get a clear defender body to paint, but I am aware there are a load of other parts required. Some are obvious like the exocage, roof rack etc, but what about the less obvious like link arms, shock mounts, body mounts etc. If anyone else has done this conversion I would love to hear what parts they needed or what could be modified / adapted. Thanks Nick |

Thats a huge parts list to pull together, below is the parts list that encompasses every part for all the TRX's plus a couple exploded views that will list all the fasteners and parts needed for the Defender body assembly. As far as the chassis side of the conversion, thats all in a kit and is only $22 8057 Chassis conversion kit, TRX-4 (short to long wheelbase) (includes rear upper & lower suspension links, front & rear shock towers, long female half shaft) TRX-4 Scale and Trail Crawler (Model 82056-4) Parts List TRX-4 Scale and Trail Crawler (82056-4) Body Assembly Exploded View TRX-4 Scale and Trail Crawler (82056-4) Chassis Assembly Exploded View To be honest you'd be better off to buy a take off body from eBay thats all complete and then buy a clear body and transfer everything over....cheaper than piecing it all to gether. Here is a complete one on eBay right now If you like the color orange, this would be killer and RARE ! Land Rover Defender Adventure Edition Body and cheaper on eBay $159 Last edited by ScoJac; 07-14-2018 at 07:38 AM. |

A take off body from eBay could be the way to go but unless one comes up for sale in the UK the shipping and customs charges make it too expensive so it looks like I am stuck with ordering all the necessary parts.
