HPI makes hundreds of bodies at a time and sell's them for 28.00.
....not a bad deal
I'll check to see the cost to run a hundred or so.
Is anyone interested in a carbon-fiber Wreckluse hood?

And yes I know I could cut my own panels (but not as neatly). Would it really be that big of a deal to sell the replacements? I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I just can't understand why it's so hard to offer them for sale. I love my Wreckluse, but it's getting pretty beat up and needs some new skins.

I'd be down for a few body panels sets

I'l also love the trans mount with in-board links

Carbon fiber hood, not so much....but that's just me.

Thanks for responding so quickly...you guys have THE best service! "thumbsup"

Hood and panels, YES!

Skidplate w/inboarded link option, YES!

CF hood? I'd love to see some pics.

What size shocks do you guys suggest to use with this chassis and 2.2 wheels and tires?

I'd like to see panels and the inboarded skid. On the hood maybe. If you could design it 3 piece grill,hood, and cowl.

I used the RC4WD 110mm ones. About perfect for 2.2 tires.

Are there any reccomendations for wheel wideners for the Wreckluse chassis with Axial axles? Brand and size? I'd like to run taller tires without chassis rub. Thanks in advance :mrgreen:.

I use a set of integy 15mm wideners but they really hinder you on pointy rocks or narrow paths im actually about to remove mine but as far as stability goes they do help out

I tossed a pair of the Hot Racing ones on my Wreckluse. They come in 15mm...but can add 5mm or 10mm if needed. I see no need to go over 15mm. With these on the truck I can really push the articulation and just barely rub.

I just got one of these chassis used and was wondering what shocks people are using for 2.2 and what type of widners

Freaky Fast Service!! Ordered my replacement skid on 6/7 before you got to work and it was in the mailbox on 6/9. Thanks "thumbsup"

curious about the replacement policy does it matter if some thing was changed (braces in the windshield area ect..)and does it cover if the nuts that mount the body panels snap off?

You're going to love your new chassis, have fun building it. Post up some pics when you're done "thumbsup".

Any update on replacement body panels? I know it's a long-shot but I just had to ask.

jeep wrangler
I've seen the 70's bronco
and the large 70's chevy truck
I'm going to try a new bright JK Jeep hardbody front
I've seen a few hard body front ends that look great

How wide do the wheels set apart now?

most guys run the AX10 axles
you can run 1.9 or 2.2 rims and tires
you can also stretch the Wheel Base if you like
for better approach on the really steep stuff.
I've seen a wide variety of set-ups
The Wreckluse a great platform to start with "thumbsup"

The great customer support meant a lot when i called. Very few companies take the time to actually help customers like you guys do. I look forward to placing my order next week as well as a few others for my build. Thanks.

Is anyone interested in a carbon-fiber Wreckluse hood?

Did you ever have a chance to check into making replacement (flat) body panels?

it's the minimum order that makes it unreasonable
I can create a cad file you could use as a template
to cut your own ...out of beer cans or flat lexan

Did you ever make that CAD file for the panels?
If not, i'm going to try and use my plastic ones as a guide. :(

Re: Wreckluse Feedback, Support & FAQ

That's what I ended up doing. I went with aluminum sheet material for the lower belly plates and repainted the outside of the original hood and clearcoated it. Stock replacements would have been nice though :cry:.
