Default what body fits?

Hi guys,

i just built my axial ax10 and wanna get a new body but dont know what sort i can get.
can i fit a body for a savage? or something like that or only crawler specific bodies like those from proline?
i know i would have to get creative with the cutting a bit on these bodies but would the wheel base be the same roughly?

thanks,

Nick

If you want to get creative on trimming, anything with a wheelbae close to 12" should work. If you want to stay truck-like in appearance, you could always go with the Pro-Line Chevy C10 crawler body.

You would be better off going with a Proline or Jconcepts crawler body, ther designed more for a crawler application. But you can make any body fit.

I was going to ask the same question.

I was wondering about one of these:

or one of these:

Any ideas if they are a good fit? My broadband is rally slow so would look at the gallery to see if they have been used before but it takes ages to load up.:-(

Thanx.

The Pro Line C10 body is the one I'd go with, I love mine.

You can always go to the www.rccrawler.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=73 section of RCC and look at other rigs. They are all scorpion based rigs and all have good ideas for bodies.

most all bodies will fit just you may need to do some trimming or finding a way to mount it to you chassis
