I was at the thrift store today & picked up a New Bright Jeep RC w/ no controller. Figured "what the heck", if I can't use it I can sell it to someone who will.

Its a smaller body, prolly what they call 1:16 scale. 7-1/4" wheelbase & 5-1/2" wide from fender flare to fender flare. Guess I shoulda grabbed one of those Losi MRC Pro's that were so cheap a while back.
Already popped it off the toy chassis:

Back when I was messing with my Maisto, I nearly bought this exact RC a few times just to dismantle it & run the body on the Maisto.

Broke down the measurement on the wheelbase & figure the body is pretty close to 1:14 scale. Looks ideal for a scaler conversion using a Losi Mini Crawler or an Exceed Maxstone 16. Anybody got one of those MRC Pro's they bought cheap & wanna part with it?
