budwisr Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 OK so it's plastic and only a body and just a 12" wheelbase. And made in China. Now I need to buy a RC chassis and find some time. But I need to get my full-size one done first.
Swampy Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 axial scx10 would be a good platform to use to build a 1:10 rc truck. Its what I used when I built an rc bronco a few years back
Pete M Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 awww, they are still using XJ bits. why can't we get our own molds?! still very cool though.
gogmorgo Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Seriously though. They had to take the time to change the molds to turn it into a truck instead of an SUV. Remove parts, make the wheelbase longer, etc. You'd think they'd at least put the filler door in and get rid of the window cutouts at the same time, no?
Pete M Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 the wheelbase is a real sticking point since the chassis they are designed for is more XJ length. where are the people with 3D printers!
87MJTIM Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Except for the hood, the slats on the roof, the missing "vent" on the B pillar, and the gas filler location, it looks something like an MJ

These RC bodies are never quite right, but a good base to start with.
