punkuup5150 · 12-01-2008, 12:05 PM

toys r us? lol most 1/18th trucks out there fit. i was mocking up a jeep hardbody from radioshack which fits perfectly

sloppy · 12-01-2008, 12:06 PM

tower has blackfoot extremes in stock

walmart should still have some of the rubicon's/H3 for 20 bucks

toys r us and ebay have the FJ's and H3's

ajcloud · 12-01-2008, 12:18 PM

i saw that body at radio shack today and thought it looked perfect, and the truck itself was only 35 bucks, which isnt much more than a body and paint from the LHS. you talking about the 4dr right?

punkuup5150 · 12-01-2008, 12:35 PM

yup yup lemme see if u can just order the body and parts ill post up numbers i run a radioshack

edit: these are not orderable at this time >_<

punkuup5150 · 12-01-2008, 12:56 PM

but i was able to look up some other hardbodys which may fit. if you plan on ordering these hardbodys ask to do a rsu order and give them a number that is listed

12262549 ford f150 - $29.69
12422119 ford truck -$16.49
12458881 hummer - $18.89
12467882 hummer - $27.49

all i can find right now hope this helps guys

Tower doesn't seem to have the rest of the parts for the Blackfoot though, only the shell itself, no windows or chrome.

Newbie question here: do you have to have a scale chassis like the TCS trail in order to mount the body? How do you mount the body?

U$edUpH00ker · 12-01-2008, 05:28 PM

no you dont need a l-trial chassis but if you want scale thats prob what you want to go with and how you mount it is all up to you

U$edUpH00ker · 12-01-2008, 05:32 PM

How to mount a bronco body to an rtr? this could help look at the serious answers lol not the ones that show how we are all smart asses

:-P

ebbet · 12-01-2008, 06:02 PM

Maybe I asked the question wrong. What I should have asked was do any of you who have mounted a hard body have any pointers, tips or pics of how you did it? I know how to mount a lexan body, unlike Easy Target in the provided link.

That depends all on the body and chassis you're using. That's really the kind of thing you need to figure out on your own. Cruise through the scale forums for ideas maybe.

U$edUpH00ker · 12-01-2008, 06:14 PM

lol you can use the same meathods ie velcro,body posts,plates with screws but idk thought you mite be able to get some ideas

scubadaveojr · 12-02-2008, 12:26 PM

do you guys think the heilx body might work on there? or is that getting to big and out of scale?

Helix?! You mean the Helios? There are some people that use the Helios body. It fits fine, but to me it just doesn't look right. The wheels don't line up with the wheel wells on the body.

The crawler Helios will work but is a bit big for the stock sized Losi, the Maxx Helios dwarfs the MRC.

Maybe he did mean to say helix as in toyota helix...

scubadaveojr · 12-03-2008, 03:18 AM

yea.... i dont know what the helios is.... lol.
i am just looking for some thing that i can get as a kit and paint it and make it what i want... lol... and trying to find links is a problem because only one place sells the front and the other sells the rear or only has one part in stock and not the other... then i have to go chase down the grill and all the lights... just a lot of money i have to spend on shipping, but if i can find a place that has all the stuff i am set. lol.
