Maybe when you finish giving 9" to the Fairlane..... :roll:

Yes, but that would have been giving 9" to the fair Lane.... which (I've heard) amounts to 4 1/2" twice.... two for one price? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thank you so much! The shorty Bronco is such a fun little ride and the setup is so sweet.

I love your yellow new style bronco body...i was so tempted to get that new body style when they were first available.

Whats the wheel base on that?

It's about 11.5", so a little short for my 12" SCX. Once I get to cutting away plastic bumpers, fender flares, and running boards though, I don't think it will really matter.

Looks like a perfect fit to me. You can always shorten the links to get it down to the correct wheelbase. I had to work hard to get my scx10 down to a 9.75 inch wheel base to get it looking correct for that Tamiya bronco body. :mrgreen:

They both look awesome! If one of you could do a scale model of the truck from F13 part 2 it would be so classic!

I tried the speed run thing, gave up after I couldn’t keep the car on the ground for pretty much the same reason. You think the surface is smooth until you hear the car scraping the whole time.
