Default Proline 66 bronco body on trx4

Hi guys I'm looking for some pics of the Proline 66 bronco body(the one with the full interior molded in it) mounted on a trx4. I tried sifting through the pic pages but I only found 2. I'm looking to see how that body fits for a project I have in mind. Thanks in advance.

I did not run that body on my trx4 but what I can tell you is that the interior pretty much precludes you from mounting anything on the sliders and you have to be super careful with wiring. It is an awesome body for something like a toyzuki or something with a front motor mount. It is also a pretty short body so I think you’d have to cut the rear rails down.

I think that body is a 300mm Wheelbase. Might be too short?

I know its wheelbase is a little short but the large wheel wells make it doable. My friend runs this on a scx10.2 kit with a 313mm wheelbase and flipped trans and it fits decent. I have the same scx10.2 set-up as my friend but not the body. I have a trx4 sport as well and I can tell you the trx4 sport trans is quite a bit shorter vertically than the scx10.2 kit trans. So my concern really is the height of the trx4 shock towers. I want to make sure I can get it to mount low enough so it won't look goofy. I'm going to be ordering an aftermarket chassis for the trx4 so I'm not overly concerned with the length of the stock chassis rails right now.

Couldn’t find a perfect profile pic but the wheel wells alow a variety of wheelbases. This rig was about 12.5”. It might be doable but will definitely take some creativity.

That looks like the bronco body fits good on there, what chassis is under there? Are those trx4 axles? And atecthose rock beast xl's(4.75")? Or the 4.55" version.

It’s an awesome body that has some cool scale details but it just takes some building around. It’s not a drop on replacement. And this is just my opinion but it looks better in a 12.3-12.5” WB.

I ordered an all time low chassis and I'm planning on putting it on that. My hope is that the new chassis will lower the trans enough so u can just drop the body on there. The whole reason I'm getting it is because I'm building a truck for a national even and I can't cut any of the floor out of the bronco body and still get the 3d interior points. I've got enough time where if it doesn't work out I have some time to find other options.
