Or your ax1 over. When RPP has the parts in their salvage yard it's surprisingly cheap.

Any pics of how it sits currently? That rock racer chassis looks like it could be made to work if you're on a budget.

thats a sweet chassis, just some panels would be awesome on it.

That's the most recent picture I have of it. It's had quite a few add ons since I took that pic, but you get the general idea.

I'm thinking its time for another rig to go full blown scaler with. Problem is wife says no more adding cars without subtracting cars and I'm down to my favorite bashers for when I like to go fast so it's going to be tough to give one up. The Muggy or the Chuckworks Pede.....Hmm...what to do....

The biggest reason I want a body from a performance standpoint is that stupid battery sticking out the end. Every time I roll it I cringe...eventually it's going to pop one....and then the whole rig goes up in smoke,

making a cover for the battery would be pretty simple

another option would be to get a desTroy plate from custom fiber... would put your servo in a better spot and move your battery to the front axle.

I was thinking of getting the pro line pseudo motor piece for mounting on top of 1/8 truck hoods and then molding the battery box around it....maybe, the paint is dry, now for the next coat and then I'll fit it up, snap pics and you guys can tell me if it's a lost cause or not!

Got the body on! Looks like a Clodbuster body and sits way higher than I'd like it too, but hey it was worth trying!

[onebullet]

its not a lost cause, but i dont think its the results you were hoping for.

Sweet success! Emaxx Bronco body..had to chop a lot more wheel well out than I wanted to, but I finally have a body and didn't have to chop up the rock racer chassis. Props to rc-lighthouse on eBay for making custom kits. 14 LEDs exactly the color and size I wanted them, wired and shipped for a little over $25 with bezels

Front for reference....

Looking great. Probably performs pretty well too for something with a full body on it. I just realized you have ar60 axles, not sure why I thought you had ax10/scx10 width axles.

Drove it yesterday and the body sure isn't that clean anymore! Zero complaints on this one, the lights all stayed on and a nice lining of plasti dip on wear areas kept the paint from rubbing off. Happy camper!

same here, i felt like an idiot when i realized it was ar60's haha.

i guess when people say ax10 im still thinking scorpion and not deadbolt.

It does looks pretty cool, i would have gone with internal light buckets myself but it still looks pretty awesome
