| VS4-10 Chassis Kit (Unimog)
Anyone know if the Axial Unimog body/rear cage will fit on the VS4-10 Chassis Kit? I know the transmission needs to be the 3 gear RTR 10.2 version. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The high clearance frame rails will requires some trimming on the cage I would imagine. The front bumper body post mounting system may require some modification as well. Anything is possible though! |

If you zoom in on the pic of the front you can see I left a little more lexan on. Left the rear fuel tank cover off and used the two little raise screw holes in the back as a gauge to where the back of the body will rest. Then cut them off after all mocked up and trimmed a small piece of the fuel tank cover off and install it. Used spacers to bridge the gap in the holes I drilled into the full tank for mounting the back. Had to get creative with mounting the front mounts. But just mock them up and you’ll figure out a way to mount them. And of course had to use the RTR 3 gear transmission. If you did some modifications and used the kit version skid plate I’ll bet you could make the kit transmission to work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

Turned out great. Did you use the 12" Wheelbase link kit from Incision? I've got a VS4-10 chassis kit that I'll be putting TRX-4 Portal axles under, and I want to run an 11.4" WB because I have a Mighty FC body that I want to use. I'm already going to have to make a panhard and steering link, but not sure what other links I'll need to change to get to a 11.4" WB. |

11.4” WB. This is embarrassing, but I bought 3 fricken sets of 12.3” WB links to accomplish it though. Obviously the front kinks are the front links. For the rear I used the front lower links. And of course the front upper link in the rear, which is why the 3rd set of links was needed. So uh ya, I have several individual and one nearly complete set of links for sale Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

Clean execution on the conversion, not a simple one to knock out. |

So I started my conversation as well, coming along nicely and appreciate the pictures and your take on the mods to get it fit up. I’ll get a thread going when I get a little further along. I am using the VP portals and liking the results so far! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

He sells complete link sets specifically for the UMG10 in 11.4" and 12" WB. I just bought the 11.4" WB set. We'll see how those work out. | |

Wow man that looks awesome! Wish I had your detailing skills. When you get a chance would dig seeing under the body and the portals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
