MK I Range Rover Bodyshell for 313mm crawlers

[TWINSET]

From AsiaTees:

TRC is releasing one of the most sort bodies in scale crawling - first generation Range Rover

This is a 1/10 Rover First Gen hardbody with a 313mm  wheelbase.

The body needs to be assembled together. Strong plastic ABS material for durability and strength.

Front hood and doors on both sides open. Rear window and door open separetely in two pieces.

We've mounted the body on an Axial SCX10 II for your reference. Four bolts will lock the body securely in place.

To give a better size comparison, we've put the new Range Rover body next to a Killerbody Toyota LC70. The size is very similar in terms of total length, but the shape of the Range Rover is much rounder than the LC70 making it look bigger.

Size:
Height: 165mm
Width: 205mm
Length: 540mm

Weight: 1100 grams

Includes:
Metal door hinges
Body mounts for SCX10, SCX10 II and TRX4
Front side mirrors
Front & rear LED light lenses
Front & rear LED light buckets
Front & rear bumpers
Hardware

Comes unpainted in white color.

Estimated ship date: On or before December 31, 2018

Needs to be painted in cat sick yellow with a furry interior and it will be perfect.

 

Wonder what the price is

Tamiya was known for their scale-realism...

This is what Tamiya should be doing.

Awesome!

Finally I can build one of these Dakkar beauties!

Do you have a link to the page you got that info from?

It was originally on AsiaTees, but it's gone now.
There was a post from JS Scale on FB saying they should've been exclusive seller for a while, they have it listed here; https://www.jsscale.net/1-10-range-rover-classic-abs-molded-body-f454059.html

I daresay it'll be back on Asiatees eventually.

Just found this on JS Scale FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/js.scale1/, so all is good;

JSscale keeps the exclusive sales for the Range Rover Classic body for now.
We talked with Jason Tsang from Asiatees / Team Raffee. It was a miscommunication from the manufacturer, not from him.

Jason is a great person and very professional. He's passionate like we are.
The issue has been solved between the 3 partners, and now the first bodies have already been shipped.

Stay tuned for a live session next week !
Thank you all for all the love and support you showed us yesterday , we had tons of messages !!

I was able to sneak in an order of a few on this Range Rover Classic, very nice detailed body. I work in the Land Rover parts industry so, of course, this is a natural fit for me — lots of detailing photos and reference material to review.

@njmlondon - Agree with you fully, a proper rallye spec build will need to be done. Yes, a 1981 Paris-Dakar Range Rover driven by René Metge might be in order, this is my fav too!  I'll have to get cracking on designing these VSD sticker sets ( just finished several new Mercedes-Benz GT3 (early horiz. grille) designs for MCI ).

Someone will need to jump in on CAD 3D the original Rostyle wheels — my recommendation -> @VagabondStarJXF he is our is our in-house wheel expert designer.

First off was ordering an Axial SCX10 II raw builders kit to start, should be fun. I'll post up a build thread.

Cheers, Thompson

lol I wouldn't go so far as to say 'expert' but thanks for the compliment, dude!

About the shell... I'm not a fan of the classic Range Rover but I gotta say I'm rather impressed with this body shell. If they could do a scale model version of the Bowler Wildcat or Tomcat I'd probably start saving up the pennies for one. (The Kamtec shell is good but could be awesome if it was like this one).

As for the wheels, I'm kinda busy with the usual "run up to Christmas" stuff but I'll try to get it done asap if enough people want it. So y'all let me know if you'd like me to try and draw up a set.

Has anybody used JS Scale before?  Not familiar with them here in the States so wasn't sure they are good to use for international.  I spent two years working on Land Rovers (done in 2004).  Certainly the best 4x4xFar, even here in Jeep country.

@VagabondStarJXF - You're welcome! I did a quick check over on Shapeways, both the early Rostyle and later three spoke Vogue style are available (guess I should checked first...). You're off the hook, but keep those house elves on Christmas duty !
