Breitling.1884 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hello all, i have had my SCX10 Rubicon unlimited with the long wheelbase for some time now and although i love it i am thinking of a face lift. The problem i feel i am having is that there doesnt seem to be many other true scale looking bodies, i.e complete with interior other than the stock Rubicon. The body i want is the Defender D90 or a Toyota type but i have only seen these available for the Dingo which has the shorter wheelbase. Does anybody know of anywhere i could one for my Rubicon? I realise i could get some links and Dingo chassis rails but that would mean losing my wheelbase which i like. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 You could opt for the D110 to keep your long wheelbase? Look at Newbright stuff, they offer some scale looking shells like an LR3, so might be what you're after for a longer wheelbase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breitling.1884 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Ah ok, i know New Bright do a short wheelbase Wrangler but yes, i will have a closer and more in depth look at Newbright. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini-z-awd Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 the only place you`ll get a land rover body that will fit is rc4wd and it will be the d110 as like you`ve said the d90 is short even shorter than the dingo you mentioned oh and it wont be cheap either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breitling.1884 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Yeah mini, i have seen one from RC4WD in the U.S. and it comes in at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Cheaper alternative is to make your own. It's not THAT hard but is very time consuming... Plenty have done it. Believe it or not instead of just making a D110 mold, all RC4WD do is build them from D90 shells.

Breitling.1884 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Yeah Oh How Original, thats another option, i have seen the extentable rear portion for the D90 but feel as tho it would break in two if I was to put it together. Haha. I just cant understand why i can purchase the D90 but not the D110, im sure the LWB is just as popular. I feel isolated. Ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
