I found a Rastar Land Rover LR3 pretty cheap on Ebay. This body will fit on the X-Trail chassis nicely.
Here's the specs
Rastar LR3 body
X-Trail chassis
Axial tranny
Axial axles with heavy duty lockers, and straight axle adaptors.
HiTech MG 645 servo
55 Turn Intergy motor
Mamba Max ESC
DuraTrax Evader shocks with soft springs.
Elite 1500, 8 cell battery pack
Some shots of the LR3. Check out the killer flex.


I'm opimistic that I will be able to use some of the interior, but that will require cutting out some of it to fit the tranny and motor in. I may have to cut so much out, that it may not be worth using the interior.
I got the chassis to the roller stage. I won't be using the plastic links or the wheel and tires, they are just for mock up and testing.


I know some people don't like the evader shocks, but I've gotten very good performance from them in my other X-Trail.
Here's a flex shot.

Here's a shot of the body. It's 18" with a 11.5" wheelbase.

I hope to have time tomorrow to start hacking up the interior to see if I can get the tranny and motor to fit.
More to come.
