|  pro-line chevy 72 body
Hi, I have a 18" NN clod. I'm looking for a new body and I was wondering if pro-line 72 chevy truck would work okay for my setup. the website said it's a long body truck so I wasn't sure if it would work or not. edit: what do you guys think of the pro-line 1/10 truck c10 body? what would be a better choice for me the monster truck chevy c10 body or 1/10 truck chevy c10 body?

There are two Pro-Line C-10 bodies. I ran the shorter one for a while and my wheelbase was 12" on a 2.2 crawler. I don't know what the wheelbase would be on the long bed version.

It is no where near 18" of course you already know that. Will it work, yeah For supers there is no body that works great for every truck. Look for a long and slender body it helps with the tire rub. Super bodies are mostly protection devices. It will work well, just plan to do some cutting. |

Go with the long wheel base version. It's not much longer looks like 3/4 to a 1" longer. It will provide more coverage. Best thing to do is bring the truck to the local hobby shop and try lids till it lines up. |

lol yeah at 90* of flex, any body is gonna rub! and it has 0 effect, the lugs dont snag any body edges, just effortlessly slide across the smooth parts.... ;) |

I bet that burbon body wouldn't rub so much if it wasn't slammed, but like you said, with 90* of arty, there isn't much stopping it except something like a bug body.
