I need chassis rail length for Element Enduro, SCX10iii, and Vanquish vs4-10

Long story short: I purchased a Proline 1979 Land Cruisr body to put on my SCX10 Pro but then decided to go cab only with a Jconcepts Anvil.

The Land Cruiser body days it's for a 12.3" crawler, so I was going to put it on my Traxxas TRX4 sport chassis. Problem is: the Land Cruiser body is 16.4" long but the chassis rails are about 17.75" long. That would leave the rails sticking past the front and rear of the body...

I don't want tonreturn the body as keeping it will create a future project. I would like to maybe get a Basecamp, Enduro, or vs4-10 chassis builders kit and build it around this body, which leads me to this:

For those of you with one of those chassis mentioned, please be so kind to provide me with the length of the chassis rails. I did some online searching but could not find it. Sorry for the drawn out message, but thank you!

Thank you! Looks like the enduro builders kit 3 will be in the running for "next kit build"

Just heads up, the description says it comes with two over drive gear sets, mine came with one and wasn’t even one of the two options listed and it reads as it comes with two different link lengths but mine only came with one and it’s for 12.8 w/b

That is good to know. It says in the description that it comes with links for 12.3 and 12.8, so hopefully yours was a quality issue. I would email them and get a set of free links.

I sent Vanquish an email. They said the VS4-10 Chassis is roughly 16". Right now I believe it is between the VS4-10 and the Element Enduro Builders Kit III. I am leaning towards the Vanquish, but at the same time, If I go with the Enduro then I can eventually change it up and install the Independent Front Suspension kit.
