Short course bodies on SCX10

[sb4pro]

Does anyone know if either the J-Concepts 79 Ford Ranger stock # 0208 or the Revo 3.3 Ford Raptor stock # 0091 will fit the SCX10 Honcho with the 12.3 " wheelbase . What I'm looking to do is kind of a desert prerunner and want a short course / desert type body .

Same question over in Paint and Body. I even replied to it. Ha.

Also, proline just released this body yesterday. A little more scale looking.

I know with some threaded rod and Traxxas rod ends, you can make about any body fit. "thumbsup"

Thanks guys . Szczerba I see what everyone was talking about with it being a slow trophy truck lol that's why I want it as a prerunner type truck . Johnny yeah I thought about that too but wanna stick with the stock scx10 wheelbase

You'll just need to use axle widener hexes or larger offset wheels to widen the track width a bit for that slash body.

The HPI Mini Trophy truck bodies fit pretty darn good on the SCX setup.

I have a Slash and an SCX10... the Slash is significantly wider than the SCX. I had thought about building a Pre-runner myself, so had looked into it. Now if you have a honcho, you may want to check out Dinky's bedside kit. It looks quite a lot like a pre-runner body with it installed. Otherwise, I 2nd the vote for the HPI mini trophy truck body.

Yeah this one that scezerba pointed out is exactly what I have in mind .

as stated already, yes some of them will fit just fine. technically speaking, isn't the cab of the Honcho body already a prerunner-esque body since it has the flared fenders? all you need is a bed.
