Scaler/body

[solly98]

i was wondering how to turn the creeper into more of a scaler, and what scale bodies fit it. thanks in advance

Cheap way build frame rails like the safari has then add any body that fits your wheel base
Next get a used scx10 frame fit the creeper stuff and again match body
Last pic a body and build your own chassi so the wheel base fits like you want
Things to keep in mined your stock shocks might be to long for sct10 chassi and the trans are huge on Thea's things
And if it has twin plate chassi it's a no go for most scale comps
If you don't mind that I'm selling a pro line tuber body and have already drilled holes to mount it to a creeper chassi it's in the for sale thread pm if intrested

[solly98]

what are some scale looking bodies that fit it?

[alterchristopher]

None the creeper is a comp modle no scale body are made for it you will have to figure out what body you want and go from thier my safari has a 12.5 inch wheel base if yours is the same that's what you want to look for other whys you will have to start shorting or stretching the wheel base of the crawler to match scx10 honcho have 12.3 wheel base I believe so you might want to look at body's built for them to get more selection I have seen the proline xj body look nice on the creeper

Any body can work, but you will have to think out side of the box to make it fit. there are no drop on and go bodies for the creeper other then that goofy thing is comes with. standard wheel base for most 1/10 scale bodies is 12 inches, i fudged it a bit on my pro-line bronco by running bis ass 2.2 tires and trimming the body to death, i think i sit at like 12 1/4 now. you can do anything with a drill and some imagination.

A Dingo or any body that can accept Axial fender flares is a good start because the flares match up better to Creeper axles. CGR's, Cherokee, etc.

With some creativity the existing links and trans can be adapted to an SCX10 or X-Trail chassis. The biggest challenge is getting the wheelbase right.

A Creeper can be anything you want if you put your mind to it:

I see trend here in post. keep this in mind, you don't have to follow any instructions here. you can build your rig however you want. some methods work better then otehrs and that is where self education comes in. read, look at build threads, run teh truck in it's stock form for a while. this will allow you to start to formulate a plan for how you want to build your rig. and don't let anyone ever discourage you.

Kind of reviving this thread.. but I recently made my Creeper look much more scale. It was very easy to do. I simply got an HPI Crawler King body and mounted it on there, it was a perfect fit, no modifying needed at all.. I'll post pics when I get home from work.

Here some videos on how to do it.

Bronco, in this video he didn´t do anything to the rig he says.

I bought my CC-01 Jeep from him. Here's my creeper, my venom safari and my jeep.

It all depends on how far you are ready to go - the simpliest way is to buy longer body posts and put some pro-line long wheelbase (312-317mm) body.
I took the longer way and built my own frame and chassis, adjusted the links to the length.
First chassis with ProLine Bronco body:








I was not quite happy with the way it looked, so I bought Tamiya bronco body - it's significantly shorter, but it is the most accurate of all the bronco bodies - the proportions are the closest to real bronco.
I had to redo all the chassis - it was easier to make a new one. Also made new links from the scratch, bumpers from some hard plastic, and ran into a new problem - the creeper gearbox is too huge for the short wheelbase. Now I've just received the box from SCX10 - it's 2 times shorter.
Here are some pics:




As I have a spare body and lots of spare parts, I'm planning to buy new creeper axles (they are cheaper than scx10 and not much worse) and to build another scaler with the blue body and maybe 2.2" wheels.
