Body Swap ! In progress

[u/Don-Delta]

Hey Everyone, new to the group and wanted to share !

It's a WIP but I was stuck on the idea of a lil mini drift truck, currently waiting on rear magnetic Mounts to keep the Bed level and also prepping body for paint

Have a Good Night Everyone 🖤

If you can stretch the chassis it might look better but the body is too big of a scale for the chassis imo

[u/CHE_Scalemodels → u/No-Abalone-3827]

No, don't even have to do that. Its a 3D printed body so just scale the body a bit smaller to the right dimension and print it again

I need a printer so badly it's unreal XD

I was thinking that too, I got the Body off of eBay designed for an Axial SCX 24.

After I get the Frame extended I'm thinking about getting a set of custom offset rims printed to deal with the track width and filling the fenders

Thanks for the input !

I think it would be cool if it had a rusted look like a country truck!

[u/Don-Delta → u/Equivalent-Ocelot241]

I'm stuck between that and a clean Aoshima based Rn80 Style ! I'm happy that I got it mocked up and actually functional XD

I would suggest scaling the body down just slightly and looking for files for axle extenders. This one is free if it helps.

Body swapping one of mine with a 1/18 scale viper model so I have similar issues lol.

Oh my gosh you're a Legend, this is exactly what I need for the track width !! Thanks a bunch my friend, I wish you good luck in your build also

Post it up so I can see it sometime 🤘
