Hi,

A friend of mine offered me a tycopro chassis recently, but without body. I believe the tyco 440x2 widepan long wheel base bodies are compatible :confused:


but I don't know what bodies I can use (original or resin repro) ? ANy help will be appreciated !


thanks

the tyco hp7 bodies might fit.

Most of the TycoPro bodies fit on the 440/X2 pan chassis so I expect the opposite holds true and most 440/X2 bodies designed for the pan chassis should fit on a TycoPro chassis. The only TycoPro body that I've had issues with is the Chaparral 2J. I suppose you could get a 440/X2 under it if you cut down the rear wheels and tires.

the problem is the 440x2 widepan 's got 2 possible wheels bases. The tycopro unique wheelbase is similar to 440x2 widepan long wheel base (I checked it).

The problem is that not every widepan body are made for long wheel base chassis...so I don't know what tyco bodies I can use (except the usual chaparal, gremlin we always see on ebay).


thanks,


dimitri

is it the long or short wheel base on the tyco pro?
If it long base, there are lots of newer tyco bodies they will fit.
the vette, the t-bird, the camaro.. to name a few

if it's short wheel base, you're better off wating until Bruce gets better and buying one of his tyco bodies, like the Bug or muara

thank you for the help !

my chassis is the long wheel base. I've seen in Bruce's shop a lot of bodies for tyco, how can I recognize the long wheelbase versions ?

IN the pictures I found about the tycopro bodies, I loved especially the chapparals, the cobra and porsche (917k and 908?). I don't know if they're long or short wheel base...


it's complex ^^ to make it simple, I like the GT/endurance lemans race cars, I 'm not interested in muscle cars or "civilian" US cars.

917 is short wheelbase.

The TYCO PRO bodies are not hard to find and amazingly no that expensive.

I seen whole TYCO PRO cars at the slocar show for $20.00 for a runner.

The Chaparrals and 908s are also short wheel base. Not sure about the Cobras.

arglll...!

I hope the cobra is long wheel base...if not, any 440x2 widepan long wheel base should fit the tycopro chassis, no ? But I don't know if any long wheel base 440x2 widepan bodies exists too ^^



thanks

If you look on the bottom chassis picture here you can see the grooves in the brass pan that are for the front tire clearance on the short chassis version and this is a long wheelbase as the front tires are not even close to them.

This thread is usless without pictures! :)

Bob...I got a little time to post pictures...zilla

thank you for the answers...And the pics ;)


Actually, it seems I will not find any classic race cars for my long wheel base chassis...:confused:

So I guess I'll have to finish my LMP dallara....the long wheel base matches...:rolleyes:

The Plymouth SuperBird is long wheelbase and is interchangeable between the two chassis.

Yes, but it's not the type of cars I want to race ;) so I believe i'll have to make my own bodies.

thank you !

The tyco Red & White gumout #3 camaro lwbase should fit. The tcr dodge magnum #31 glow in the dark body might fit.

Also, the Tyco Vipers fit.

All the Ideal cars are long wheel base.
This includes....
69 Charger
75 Nova
78 Dodge step side pick em up
79 Dodge Magnum
76 Chevy Laguna S3
The Ford & Dodge vans
Various dirt modified cars

Hi,

I bump that topic, to know if anyone can give me some advises on long wheel bases bodies compatible with tycopro long wheel base.

If I understood correctly, some tyco widepan bodies are compatible. I need long wheel base fit, I took a look in Traxs hobbies website, but the wheelbase is not indicated...


Could you give me a list of GT or endurance (lemans style, 50's to modern aera) bodies available ?

thanks
