| 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 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. Thoughts, pics and ramblings starting on post 99: OSRC's TRX-4 Defender "Greybeard" 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. Last edited by OSRC; 08-10-2020 at 07:31 AM. |

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. |
