| LC70 body on trx4 question
Hey guys, I’m looking I build an LC79 body and put in on my bronco platform. I’ve removed the rear wheel wells and shocks to install a cantilever system but don’t know what to do in the front. Do I keep the bronco wheel wells and cut them to fit? Will other TRX 4 wheel wells fot? Or do I need to buy aftermarket shock towers and completely remove the front wheel wells? Thanks! |

Don’t know if you are still trying this but I am in the process of putting a Killer Body LC70 on a TRX4 Kit. I tried trimming the front inner fenders and couldn’t get the body to sit as low as I wanted. The spots where the hood attaches hit the wheel wells and rock light holes and just held it up a little mythan I liked so I went with aluminum shock towers and lost all the stock plastic still and the servo/ battery tray.

Hey if you need any ideas I was able to get mine to sit nice and low just required a lot of trimming for the front fenders had to lose the rear fenders in total and made a simple angle shock mount for the rear end Sent from my LYA-L0C using Tapatalk |

Update: I replaced the stock bronco front wheel wells with plastic TRX4 shock towers. Down the road I might try to modify the wheel wells to fit but for now this was cheap and easy. |

You might find it easier to just build some out of styrene. That’s the route I am going, I wanted the body to sit as low as absolutely possible because of the gap between the rocker panels of the body and the side skids/ electronics trays. I am extremely anal and picky though. It would have “worked” with the stock wells trimmed but by removing them and building my own I was able to get it down pretty low. For the amount of time and money I am putting into the build I wanted it to be as close to perfect as I could get it. Any pics of your progress or build thread?

I was able to fit my lc70 over the stock fenders with a good amount of cutting. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk |

I would perhaps use the Xtra Speed Cantilever Kit For TRX-4, because you have a brace for the frame for Traxxas TRX-4 MST CFX #XS-TX28086, ,(XS-TX28086) by Xtra Speed Cantilever Kit |
