When I were a lad I usd to race 1/10th off road buggies and then 1/10th touring cars when my club changed direction and found the wallet took an exceptional beating!!!

It's just like real motorsport but I'm not sure the money is 1/10th scale though!!!

Thats a speedway pal Suzuki body.Looks like a nice one too if you got it pre painted. You were lucky to find one I have had loads of people ask me where to get them but the supply seems to have dried up.
Most people use the 1:18 Losi Mini Crawler for running gear with either 1.9 or 1.55 sized wheels and tyres. I would still consider that body to be 1:10 scale. The trouble is that most lexan truck bodys are in fact 1:8 scale meaning the Suzuki looks way to small next to them. Stick one next to a Tamiya hard body Hilux Scaler and it would be fine.

Was you wanting to use your Axial as a base for a Suzuki ?

yea the axial chassis is going to be a wee bit long so I am either goin to lengthen the body or tube out the back. Though I came aross this to but the cab seems a bit disstorted so may combine the two to get athe look I want:

I am going to run the 1.9's at first see how that goes then maybe slap my 2.2's on it.
Yea I noticed the body is small as I ordered this body before I decided to get an actual Rc I was just gonna paint up the body and have it on display till some one told me bout these scale crawlers. I have a 1/10th escalade body and the zuk is tiny compared to it but then ya gotta think next to a reg vehicle in real life they are small. I mean my zuk next to my GMC is small:
