Default Possible Dodge scaler??
Hey guys, it's been a long time since I've been on, but I'm back and I want to start doing some scalers again. If any of you have saw my past builds, I love Mopars. lol So, when I ran across this at work (I work at a Rural King) the other day, the wheels started turning... literally.
What do you guys think? It's about $115, but what do you think? Would it be worth it? Is anyone interested in one?

Would anyone be interested in some of these?? Payments up front, and I can pick them up now at work before they are all gone at the holidays.

What's the wheelbase on that? I've been hitting a bunch of WalMarts in my area looking for New Bright RC's that have a 12-12.5" wheelbase. Most of the Jeeps I've found are around 10-11".

Jeeez brother! That's a 1/6?? I figured it'd be one of the smaller NewBrights that fit well on shortened SCX10 chassis or modded CC01 chassis. AR60 axles definitely fit the bill for that Ram body...

It looks like the wheelbase is about 16" guys. So this would be an absolutely MASSIVE truggy for a TTC style rig, or just an awesome scaler.

I think so too, but $100+ on a body is just a little silly I guess. lol I figured I would share anyways I suppose!

There's quite a few builds using that body. Mine's one of them! Does make a pretty awesome scaler.

It's on sale now for half price, and I'm tempted to buy one or two bodies..

I'd love to find another and build a crew cab body with a longer bed. Not sure the truck would fit on the workbench in that case.
