Tamiya 3-Speed Chassis + HPI Bronco Body = Almost Perfect Match

[Robb]

Just throwing this out there, since a lot of members are into the EB bodies, and so many are now looking into "scale" builds. The Bronc body is just about 17.5" long, with a 11.5" wheelbase. A Tamiya 3-speed chassis is about 17.5" long, with a stock wheelbase of about 11". The nice thing is that this body drops right onto the Tamiya chassis, and the front lines up almost perfect, with only the rear axle being about 1/2" off. The nice part about this is, the rear axle can easily be moved 1/2" back by simply moving the leaf/shackle mounts 1/2" towards the rear.

Just letting you guys know, since Hilux/Bruiser/Mountaneer chassis' can be purchased, relatively cheaply, on ebay, and they apparently make a great scale chassis platform for the the HPI Bronco body.

You see all those little squiggly lines that aren't pics? Those are words. If you read the words, you'd know that he was talking about how to fix the wheelbase issue :roll:
