I am looking to get a new body for my ax10 and was wondering what everyone thought was the best body . And still be comp legal. Thanks

Losi Grappler, J Concepts Stage Killa are two that look pretty good.

I like how tiny the pro-line rockstar is, but the bug bodies help the rig land rubber side down after a tumble.

DiEzel · 01-27-2009, 12:44 AM

I agree scorpion. But, Don run's one on his rig, and if its any sort of downhill it seems to also promote more rolls.

Not sure about you guys but i usually land on my feet, And if i dont i have enough pony to forward/reverse my self upright..

I Like these bodies in no particular order

Losi Grappler
Pro-Line Rockstar
Pro-Line C-10 (comp)
Axial ARTR Body
CKRC Bug
JConcepts Gate crusher

Does anyone know where I can buy the HPI Baja bug body?

It must be over internet because I live in Sweden.

I like the Proline Rockstar, but the plastic is very thin.:-( I would like to see this body made with thicker plastic.

Yes, but it is out of stock there to?

The CKRC body is a litle different from the HPI. Looks like it have other proportions? But I gues that it will work anyway. But it is only pree order on that one

Maybe there are to many AX10 rockcrawlers out there

HOLLYWOOD7 · 01-28-2009, 08:57 AM

I like the bug for crawling

what that cost to make or is there any place that sells them.. thanks looks real good

Greatscott · 01-28-2009, 09:11 AM

The worst body I have seen is the hummer body. It looks cool on the truck, but the top is flat and wide, so the truck had almost no chance of landing on its wheel during a roll over; and it was almost impossible to right the truck once it was over without a touch.

That bug body is cool, trucks have a tendency to land on their wheels with that body. If they don't, it is not to difficult to right the truck without a touch.

It was like 5 bucks for the steal and like an hour of bending by hand. I made mind out of 3/16 cold roll. But the crawler store sells them for like 49 bucks

Lets see, the Losi grappler is pretty much everywhere at a comp and so are bugs. axial just came out with their new body, looks like a streched sami. Anything that you can get to sit low on your chassis will work, but the choice is all you man.

HELLSUNICORN · 01-28-2009, 05:27 PM

I like the jp customs fastback Jeep. It just looks right...

paintballer9876 · 01-28-2009, 05:52 PM

Im running the helios body from proline and its awsome, but the ckrc bug body is one i have always wanted to try but never got around to buying it.

this is also true with the landcruiser body... (as cool as it is.)
