I have a TRX4 sport kit to which I fitted the Axial XJ Jeep 2000.
I'm wondering a few things...
1. Are "TRX4" specific bodies that Proline sell just a special 12.8" wheelbase Vs the more common 12.3"? Or are they dimensionally different in width/height/length?
2. I would like the shell to sit a bit lower but the front cannot go down anymore due to the underside of the hood hitting the front inner fender flares. Will I encounter this with most bodies, including the ones made by Traxxas? If not, I guess it's something I'll have to live with, or remove the inner fenders?
This picture is at full suspension compression; I'd like it to sit like this at normal ride height...!

3. The Jeep body is too narrow and the wheels poke out a little and I'd like the wheels to tuck under the fenders, especially under articulations. Does the TRX4 have a wider than 'normal' track width?
Here you can see, I'm fairly sure that when this body was initially fitted on a SCX10 II the wheels tucked under more. Maybe I just need a different body? Are TRX4 specific bodies wider?

I know it's very minor but I like my toy trucks to look a little more scale. I will add 10mm of spacers inside the shocks to limit up travel and keep it looking a bit more realistic and the high body, wider wheels and too much suspension travel get my OCD kicking in :shock:
