Yep, another thread!
I've got a chassis kit in the mail because: 1- I wanted to build the kit and 2- I wanted flexibility in the body I put on it.
It's #2 that is the reason for this post.
I'm tired of searching through the many different threads that touch on this. I've lost track of how many I've read and where I read them, then I can't find it again without starting the search all over. I've looked through the picture thread, I've read through every thread I can find on here and elsewhere and I still don't have a definitive list. I'm hopeful this thread will help someone else down the road.
With the rambling done, can we please put together a complete list (at least as of right now) of what bodies fit the 12.3" wheelbase that DON'T require modification, or if they do require modification, please note what needs to be trimmed/replaced. If you know it, list an approx. cost as well.
I'll start based on what I've found in my research:
Traxxas bodies- These should be direct fits- Blazer ($180 painted, $70+ unpainted); Bronco ($140 painted, $60+ unpainted); Sport body ($45 unpainted)
Axial bodies- Jeep Cherokee Body -AXIC1337 ($45 unpainted)- from what I understand, very little if any modification needs to be made, but feel free to correct me. What other Axial bodies fit well?
Proline bodies- All 12.3" bodies approx $50-60
Chevy: C10, K10, Colorado ZR2;
Ford: 66 F100; Raptor; F250
Jeep: Gladiator, Comanche, Wrangler JL Unlimited, Wrangler Unlimited 12.3;
Dodge/Ram: 46 Power Wagon; 77 Ramcharger; 1500
Toyota: 85 HiLux; 91 4Runner
Lots of choices from Proline, but figuring out what actually fits or fits with modifications is not very clear.
Jconcepts bodies- JCI Creep and GMC K10- but I don't know how well these fit.
Those with more knowledge than I, please chime in and help me and hopefully others out!
Thanks!
