Thanks man, i have been in bed since Tuesday but i am starting to feel a little better this morning. I am a verry active person and being inside is killing me, i have been wanting to make a scale replica of my jeep so im gonna order a cherokee rc body and start on my build! I have been on my iPad looking but am haveing a hard time deciding on 1.9 or 2.2 iroks i have both. I have no idea if u r into rc but if anyone has any input let me know what size tires and for the body if i should go 1/8 or 1/10th the only real diff is the wheelbase is about 1.5" longer and the overall length is .5" longer on the 1/8 any help would be great

Around Wisconsin I believe more people race 1/8. I also thought 1/8 was more common all over.

You racing or just something to play with in the back yard? Either would be fine I'm sure. I'd go for what is more common at your local hobby shop/Race track.

Then electric or gas?

The axial scx10s are fun to build.. They are 1/10th and the Cherokee bodies fit on em perfect... They do not come with controller and battery and servo and all that and you have to waterproof them also... But they are badass and super fun to build... I had almost 800 in mine before I sold it to my buddy cause I needed money..

Here are some great sites http://www.vanquishproducts.com https://store.rc4wd.com/mobile/#home .... If you figure out some **** that you wanna do you can buy a lot of stuff piece by piece on eBay and do it a little cheaper...

My buddy that's into it hardcore says:

Tell him to do scx10 Fran with the wraith axels on it lol it will have a nasty stance

i have built many scalers and crawlers over the years, for a while i was building full tube chassis and rock buggies for people on rccrawler. I have a scx10 dingo someone gave to me, he had a shop and someone left the rig up there for over a year and no one knew who left it, he know i was into rc and gave it to me it might have a couple runs on it with no scratches on it so that will be my platform. I just dont want to cut up the body too much i was hoping to make the same cuts as i did on my 1.1 and use the rok lok tires but i know they are realy tall, just trying to keep the same look as my 1.1. I just cant find any pics where the 1/8 body has been used on a scaler with 2.2's. thanks for all the pics man! it looks like the pics u posted are all the 1/10 bodies and the 2.2 tires that are on them are all smaller than the height of the rock loks. I have been trying to decide what body to buy for 3 days now i wish i could just make up my mind its driving me crazy!

thats exactly wat i was thinking since the wraith has what axial calls a ar60 which is there take at the d60 which i am running front and rear. It will be axtra wind just like my 1.1 wide low and nasty

I think the 2.2s will look silly big imo. but would probably look alot better using the ar60s with them
