[helhedded]

c'mon manufacturers! lets get this ball rolling.

WE NEED A LARGER SELECTION OF BODIES TO CHOOSE FROM

halp! halp!

[hitman46mod]

X2

[caddyshack]

[rockwieser]

x2........ Toyotas!!!!!

[flatfender]

you should have seen it 5 years ago, the manufactures have come a long way.
today there seems to be a few more every month and I say a big huge thank you.
some of their choices for bodies that they release baffle me sometimes (like that wierd military thing proline just released a bit ago) eispecially with the multitude of polls and "what bodies would you like seen released" threads. but as we all know the licensing for specific bodies (jeeps, toyotas, suzukis) keeps them off the market.
so keep your eyes on the horizon and keep posting in the forums what bodies you would like to see. with a lot of manufactures watching forums such as this we may get what we ask for.

myself, I'am still waiting for a Willys pickup/wagon or any FSJ

I want a early bronco body the same size as the proline c10

[rctrucknut]

well, i agree somewhat, i really dont like those concept looking space buggy bodies thats out, im a truck man myself, &idont like the lil chevy body that proline made ,i took a good look at it the other day, its too small short scale for me, but then again im not a comp oriented crawler, im a backyard crawler basher.

i want an early bronco body that is narrowed like that jeep from JPcustom's

[Krakker]

Copy any Blue Torch Fab, buggy/Jeep and I'll buy 2-3. any copies of hte comp buggy class would be good also. Ones like Monster, Fabtech, RedBull and PRP, would be killer.

I welcome any new body that comes out for comp. rigs as long as its about the same size as the stage Killa, XC-1, and Grappler. I just don't like all the tiny bodies that just sit on top of your chassis. I like to slam my bodies down as low as I can get them and the proline bodies ( with the exception of the new spider )don't allow that at all.

x2... we need a Comp body that has a larger cab area. Most if these newer bodies can't be slammed on 90% of the Chassis's out. The C-10 with a Roll Cage in the bed wouldn't be to bad. It would open the cab up and still keep the look. I keep going back to the Losi just b/c of the Fit.

I agree with you about not liking the smaller bodies and them not having the slam-ability as a larger body would. I also really like the protection the larger bodies provide for my battery pack and my servo.

[CustomCrawlerZ]

yea that xj is awsome love it ... i would also like to see a s-10 and a honda ridgeline body, also some bodies that fit the mini crawlers would be nice

I think the companies need to get their act together and start selling some scale looking bodies that can be used for 2.2. Everyonewants their body not to limit its functions but also resemble a real truck. I think tha the rockstar was a good start, but we need something that has the capabilities of that without looking like a vehicle out of a video game

How many scale bodies do you see in 1:1 competition crawling? Proline nipped it in the bud with the new spider body. Everyone isn't going to like it, but its a step in the right direction for crawler bodies. I agree with what you are saying though. We need bodies that look real, like the grappler, but still are a great rock crawling body.

yup. I know theres a guy working on such a body, but I need to have one in my hands so I can check the slamability.

X2 on both of those. I want one to match my 77 sitting in the garage.

As far as the 1:1 crawlers, it depends on what class you are running in. I got out of full scale crawling cause it was too exspensive to try and keep up with those guys. The "Moon Buggies" as they call them are costing close to 50,000$ bucks at the very least to build. 10 years ago everything had stock bodies on them. It's not the same anymore. Kinda why I started RC crawling. To get back to the basics.

[helhedded]

Is this thing on?



I wonder if the JP body will come out soon? Or the New Grappler?


you just can't beat the hpi BUG body and how low you can slam that thing r.i.p.

honestly lately I've been trying to find a truck body that you don't have to chop up to fit on your rig. Something along the lines of a stampede body.
