Anybody running the toyota f40 body
 

Anyone running the proline f40 body? I'm looking to get rid of my weighty defender and this is what I'm thinking of next. Need a light weight comp body.

I just installed one but on the TRX-4 sport, great fitment and looks great

I did, didn't make near the difference I thought it would, but then again I changed a bunch of stuff so who knows. It's a HUGE body. Looks great though.

I just picked up the Raptor, and it's far lighter. If your looking for a comp body, something truckish is the way to go.

That's funny you think getting rid of the defender body and even putting on this f40 body would make a difference. But again it also depends on what else you changed too. Lol. I put a jeep body on my trx4 about the same size body along with other mods and it definitely makes a big difference. Of course I didnt just make one change at a time and see how it effects its. Now my trx4 will climb anything.

I mocked up the pro-line fj40 on my 12.8" wheelbase trx4 and wasn't digging the fitment, no matter how I positioned it I felt like the body is really meant for a 13" wheelbase truck. The pro-line body is thicker than most lexan bodies, so there isn't much, if any weight savings over a stripped down trx4 defender body.

My solution to this issue is to scratch build a 13" wheelbase truck, as I insist on using this body, and dont yet have a 13" truck. Plus more toy trucks=more better.
