which body is most popular with crawlers?

SR5Dave · 08-28-2004, 01:22 PM

The jeep body is probably the most popular.

Anyone got any good places to look for a body? I'm looking for 1:8 scale minimum.. prefferably larger

Oh, and why does your avatar say rock crawling but has a huge full size ford running over two cars? That seems a bit more like "Redneck Show Trucks"

KidWithAcrayon · 08-28-2004, 01:41 PM

I think jeep rubicon

badtodabone · 08-28-2004, 02:35 PM

i like the jeep and the bronco

RocJoc · 08-28-2004, 03:00 PM

I like the rubicon and bronco bodies

badtodabone · 08-28-2004, 05:58 PM

i wonder why you don't see very many truck bodies on crawlers?

MaxxZilla · 08-28-2004, 06:37 PM

I was running one, but it was kinda a pain in the ass, cause I had to hack the bed up so much. Plus bronco's and jeeps are way cooler.

sambmx · 08-28-2004, 09:17 PM

go jeep

MaxxZilla · 08-28-2004, 10:17 PM

Jeeps are heaps, anyone wanna flame me for that? Not really I dig jeeps, just not as much as bronco's.

WR450F · 08-28-2004, 10:45 PM

proline jeep because its made out of thicker lexan than any other company. :P

i had the proline jeep for a long time. but i just finished painting the rubi body and it is alot flimsier. i dont think its goin to last long.

I have one

Poor thing is beat to hell though... I think my next body will be an F350.

I got a CJ8 on my Pede. I know it's no crawler, but I think 6 foot drops at 20 mph upside down (many failed backfilps at a bike jump spot) is a pretty darn good way of testing both your body posts and the body itself! I finally ripped it after a year of HARD brushless bashing, but it's only the rear left fender, so it's got lots of life left in it. Once it does die, I think I'm getting another CJ8; they're too cool and super tough!

JasonInAugusta · 08-29-2004, 01:40 AM

I voted for the CJ.

I agree that the Rubi is thin in spots, especially around the winch area.

Although it isn't in the poll, the Land Cruiser body is also nice.

Russell · 08-29-2004, 04:26 AM

Definitely the new TOYOTA Land Cruiser 40 series ,firstly cause its a Toyota and not an old Jeep. :P
Second it still looks like what its suppose to ,even when you cut the guards out.
Plus its as thick as the Jeep bodys ,the proline ones not the HPI ones cause they are very flimsy.

Walmart has a 1/6 scale Caddy Escalade R/C that you could transplant the body of!

Maybe you could even get the spinners to work!

hey make a pimping crawler

badger · 08-29-2004, 04:27 PM

That Escalade body is probably too heavy to use. It would look pretty pimpin though.

CSR · 08-29-2004, 07:08 PM

I have a Proline LandCruiser body, stock blue TXT pre-painted body, and the extra TXT body. I run the extra TXT body the most.... my son likes it. It's a couple of ounces lighter than the 'Cruiser.
