Has anyone used this JEEP body from ebay in a build?

[Desert Rc]

It's not the most expensive body I've seen and not the cheapest. I guess my real wonder is how thick is the plastic. I've have seen paper thin newbrights and thicker ones like the JK. I Dunno.....what are your thoughts?

looks to me like it's about as thick as the JK...I'd like to see more pictures of it though. I'd also like to know the real wheelbase...is it 210mm or 270mm?

 

[Desert Rc]

If you read in the ad he states the wheel width is 210 and has is 270mm.....not too shabby.

 

[KMW]

You gotta love stuff written in China! It looks to me like the wheel base is 270, and the width is 210 maybe? It's not a bad looking body in the pictures.

Opening doors with a pretty awesome full interior. Looks like this could be a future build for me. A 2door jk is just what I need.

Just purchased one!!! :mrgreen:

If the wheelbase is only 210mm, that's only a little bit over 8 inches

 

[Bananaclip]

8 inches. WTF people. Good find though.

 

[Wild trial]

I think this is the same size as the Newbright one, only a tad shorter!!!

I guess we will know in a week tho...

Yeah, that would be about right for width then.

 

[Bananaclip]

let us know WT. You know I love my jeeps.

It looks really good, lots of detail, but short 10.5" wheelbase (if the 270mm is correct) and $130.....ehhhhh

 

[Desert Rc]

With opening doors and really detailed interior I don't think 130 is crazy considering JK is about 100. Plus 10.5 for wheelbase is about right for a two door. As soon as I sell a few things ima swoop one up.

The newbright 2door is only 9.7"wb I see this at 10.5 as a big plus. For that perfect stretched 12" I was always shooting for.
