| JCI CREEP BODY on the 10 III
I really enjoyed building my 10 III kit, but was frustrated with how top heavy the stock body made the rig. The chassis is super capable, but in the end the body just limits its crawling abilities. Tried adding brass to lower the C of G, but the overall increase in weight just hurt its climbing abilities. As I'm not a Jeep fanatic, started looking around for a light-weight option and settled on this. The side trays needed trimming to fit under the body, but there's still plenty of room for the electronics. With a lower C of G and all extra weight removed the rig is a blast to drive and scampers across most sections of the Markham Park crawler course with far less toppling over. I found a fellow club member that loves Jeeps and who was happy to purchase a spare body for his 10 III. |

Is that a full size pack? Was eyeballing this body for my enduro but thought it may be too narrow without re-orienting the battery tray.

The enduro tray can be moved to the back but I like the forward weight. Short pack may be the ticket, I’m not digging the 2s packs and was going to order a couple more 3s so I don’t have to share between rigs, will look at shorties. It looks like you have the exact same wheels/tires as I have on my Enduro, are those RCLions wheels and Chinese Hyrax knockoffs? If so are you running the foams they came with? I vented my tires and they still seem a little stiff. |

The body looks great on your truck. The more I crawl out at Markham Park, the more I like narrow bodies and open Wheels. The coral rock out there is brutal. This body is on my short list of possibilities for my TRX 4 sport. Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk |

| Re: JCI CREEP BODY on the 10 III Thanks, yup that coral rock sure does a number on the bodies. I have a hard body rig I rarely run there for that reason.
