Those wranglers are pretty sweet looking, too. I've been thinking about trying to fit that body on an lcg build. But after seeing the new (early model, not late model) trx bronco, I suspect I'll go down that rabbit hole next instead

@StonerRC365 my Traxxas Defender had the traditional body posts that sticks through the roof and hood. I did use ShooGoo and drywall tape around the body posts holes of the body.

There is really no body options for the TRX-4 with the 12.8" 324mm. Wheelbase.kinda sucks. Oh well will find something
Can't really lose either way

Working on finding a body for the TRX-4 build kit. Got the bearings for it now just need a body might just throw a old 78 blazer body on it for now then work with it till another one comes up.
The Redcat Scout body fits my TRX4 Defender chassis perfectly.
The orange body can be had for $30 right now

I still have a number of unfinished bodies, from years ago, that is still waiting for my slacker self to do something with them.

Someone surely needs to. I have a spray booth, but it isn't really big enough for 1/10 bodies.
Build a bigger one. I built one that will house a 1/8 scale MT body and you can even use some dryer venting to vent the fumes out of a window.
In retrospect I will say one of the fans I used moutned rigth in the middle is probably sufficient. 3 of them could inadvertently create a tornado lol.
Skip to 6:00 in part 1 for a suction test lol

I have that small hobby one that is great for 1:12 and under. You can take two of them and mate together to make it bigger, which is what I plan to do eventually. For right now it works, it is just a tight squeeze getting the body in it. And I love the LED lighting they come with.
The bad thing with lexan bodies though is painting on the inside, the overspray just shoots right back out into your face. I am going to try putting more powerful fans in when I get the second booth. That should prevent some of that.
Yours looks like it could rip the body out of your hands lol. That thing is a beast!

Its pretty powerful but its not too bad. I also converted the power supply to where I have on/off switches for each fan to give me more control over it. Now that I dont live in an apt anymore though I dont really need it anymore. I just paint in my shed now.
I found a raptor hard body from rcworld that was decently priced. Around 69 for the whole kit. It came out looking great and has held up wonderfully. It has a bed rack with spare carrier and was led ready. Some kits come with bumpers as well but I missed that kit and had to get bumpers separately over all very happy with jt

It's update time again. Only had a little time today, but did manage to get a few things done. I got the roof rack that was included with the kit installed. It looks good but I may end up replacing it with a metal one. I know metal would be heavier, wich is less than optimal that high up, but the plastic rails deform a bit when you try to stack cargo up there. I'll have to think about that one. I also added a light bar, I went with the more old school look on this one, thought it would look better than just the led strip type bars. Also installed the side view mirrors, gas cans, and yes @Xraycer the radio antenna.
