Yeti XL trophy truck

[DOWNHILLADDICTIONS]

Just bought a yeti XL kit looking for suggestions for short course truck bodies that might fix. Going for large scale yeti XL score trophy truck set up. A smaller hemistorm penta body would be great. Any comments hemistorm

Honestly the only truck body I've seen that comes close is the Redcat Rampage MT body. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial-yeti-xl/524849-yeti-xl-truck-body.html

The Penta body is way too wide. In the thread I have up about the XXL you can see a side by side comparison shot to a Baja and the Losi and it's evident that without heavy modification the Losi cage is never going to fit. Now, if you would stretch your Yeti XL about five inches, and it doesn't have to be as complicated as I made it with the XXL, you can fit a Baja SC body. The footprint of the Yeti XL is still on the narrow side, but it does look okay. I took this picture three months ago:

That picture is of a Baja 5sc on a yeti XXL chassis? Well that seems to be a much wider wheel base. May be I will try to make fender door bedsides as whole piece. Guess I will figure it out once it gets here.

Axial needs to make a Trophy truck body for the YXL that looks like the 2017 ridge line truck. Or something like it.

I'm sure one will come

I think the Baja body would work if the body was shortened and clean

I also wonder how wheels spacers would hold up to make that body work

Can't wait to get one of these bad boys. They look fantastic!

Just so I understand, you extended the chassis to make that body fit?

No, look down a few threads for '4 seater axial yeti xxl'.. that will explain why he extended the chassic.
