So seeking some advice and options. I've had 2 txt based custom builds for 20yrs now. I've got a 1/6 TJ body I wanna go bigger with. My txts were 10th CJ bodies with the big Imex clod swamp Dawgs.

Txt axles are iirc 9.75" wide. I'm looking at hop up scx6 parts as a base. What are those measuring? I'm going to use either the XL rockers or more likely the 2.9 7"+ tall scale tires since those equal a 17" rim and a 43" tire.

I'd like to do an opening hood with a "dummy" motor cover to look like a V8 in there. Are the scx6 trans/xcase usable in a front mounted engine configuration?

Any other vehicles to look at for a bit wider but still scale axle setup and an actual motor/trans/xcase powertrain setup more like a real jeep?
