I like both. I would go Creep because it's slammed with the exposed shock towers. But I'd go Cliffhanger for a cleaner look.

Nice trim job on the creep. That's my pick for sure.

The Cliffhanger still looks like a more traditional c-channel truck the way you have the body sitting. the Creep looks like a modern day lcg chassis build that’s been high-sided as much as possible.

Looks wise, the Cliffhanger is preferable to my eyes. For pure performance I would go with the Creep.

Both fit the part. Can't go wrong either way.

But if your going to make me pick, I'd choose the Cliffhanger.

Both look good but for this one Im leaning towards the Creep...and these 2.2's. The Cliffhanger has a shorter wheelbase and should be great for an SCX10.2 on 1.9's build that is commencing soon.



FWIW, this rig weighs 6.1 with a few of brass parts on it

Just to clarify, the Creep and Cliffhanger bodies are both 12.3” wheelbase.

I know, but to my eye something about the Cliff's back end alignment is "off". And its a difficult body to trim to correct fore and aft unless the H/L's and grill is cut down a lot. Can cut in all kinds of places with the Creep.

Might go shorter WB on the SCx10.2 to compensate

Psn I totally get that. My friend has a Creep body and I tried it on my Gatekeeper. It didn’t line up well at all. The design of the body definitely allows more options to chop it up than the Cliffhanger (which I also have on my MST CFX-W so I was able to try that one too which I wasn’t happy with either). The Creep all cut up like your’s looks pretty damn hardcore though if I must say. Ended up playing it safe and getting the Ecto body. Sucked that it was back ordered EVERYWHERE. I had it ordered or put in for email notification pretty much everywhere. Amain was the first to get it which took close to 4 months. Really happy with it even if it doesn’t look near as mean as your’s. Lol. No rubbing issues anywhere with those big tires?

Might have to trim some more around the hood area for the tires. Since so much of it is already gone its easy putting the scissors to it now!

Both bodies look great! Good choice on the Creep! You've got her slammed perfectly!

I have both of these bodies on my GSpeed rigs and really like how they both fit.
