|  another body option...
Yeah...it literally drops right on...Element RC Sendero cab with utility bed. Once I can purchase the wider skids for the cab edge to die into, I'll paint a fresh non-RTR cab. Pretty cool considering it requires no work or mods. https://www.amainhobbies.com/element...c42120/p977621 https://www.amainhobbies.com/element...42131/p1000052 |

That looks great - thanks for posting! I have the VS410 chassis and the Enduro RTR with the utility bed, going to swap it over and at least for a while, use the RTR body... If you get a chance, can you post a more head-on view? To see how the Vanquish bumper looks under the Enduro grille? |

Sure...keep in mind I didn't adjust at all for body height fitment - I had stuff sitting on my table and just for a lark, dropped it on. Damned near perfect! Drop it one module and it's good. I also plan to use the VS4-10 Origin's rear chassis brace and bumper delete to allow the utility bed to site perfectly flat - it eliminates the fuel box. It will fit on the Vanquish chassis as well as the intended Element RC. Pretty cool option I think. ScalerFab incognito bumper coming though... | |

Much appreciated, my man - and I've not decided how the rear end of my chassis will be dealt with. I do have an aluminum twin-tank scale accessory item that I might use to be my scale fuel tank and do the chassis-mounted tank delete as well. I might mount the twin-tanks just behind the cab in the utility bed:  |

In the mean time...I tried this... Maybe I don't expect much, but this is as about as good as anything can fit. Are you thinking your bits could fill the void of the missing fuel cell? Plenty of things one could do there... Anyway, curious what you think... |

That looks plenty strong - that's what, triple crossbars in the space of about 3 inches? I wouldn't worry with that! |

Yup...it would take quite a hit to bend the frame from the rear, as I no longer have the rails infilled with the larger cross-member. But wow, that would be a wack that would cause other problems... | |

Nice. How about throwing the vs4-10 body on the Element?
