I want to change my bodyshell on my ax10 rtc but dont know what bodyshells will fit straight on. I like the more scale looking bodies
Thanks

try prolines baja crawler

Any 1/10th scale will fit the platform. It is up to you to make the decision how much you want to cut it for articulation. Scaler or not to scaler is the question. If I had a suggestion this is what I would do.

I always like the stocker cut down a lot.

Until I discovered bodiless and re-purposed the old body.

The proline C-10 crawler body is nice

If you do decide to go bodiless, PM me as I have a new, unused Original Frogger Chassis - complete with painted panels.

Thank you all for your replies. Would any of these below fit straight on with maybe some trimming?

All but the last one, which looks like its an 8th scale body for the Savage which is probably too big.

I with Stormin2u on this one, the stock body is not too bad you just need to chop it up a bit.

tmaxxdout · 04-29-2011, 12:28 AM

I have three bodies for my truck but I do agree the stock body looks good trimmed up and sittin low on the chassis

Thank you all

unfortunatly the proline cherokee doesnt fit right away, you have to get new body posts. i bought it thinking it would fit right on and it doesnt. in order for it to fit mine i need the smaller, scale sized, tires and the new body posts. but i think the tuber by proline looks awesome and it should fit right on without having to do anything to your rig

What posts were needed and could you not trim the body slightly

Maybe you could not cut if you switched to a 1.9 wheel with tires under 4".... That is the issue with most full body scale type bodies on a crawler, tire clearance.

I'm actually running an HPI Porsche 911 body on mine, had to cut a good bit off the front fenders, but the shape is similar to the VW Bug, so it has the nice smooth roll over ability like the Bugs.

jimmyjet92@yahoo.com · 05-02-2011, 10:57 PM

well for it to work i would have had to be about 1/3 cut into the hood for one front tire to fit because i am running 2.2's and as far as the mounts they would have to go ontop of the frame like into the hood and roof of the body. and i would have probably had to get the scaler frame which i didnt want. if that didnt make sense just let me know and ill try to explain it better and with pictures.

I agree, I'm not much for car body's on a crawler/4x4 but that's pretty sick!
