That body looks killer! Out of curiosity, what's your roof height now? Looks nice and low |

Thanks for the good words guys. The bug body looks sweet too. But, I think I can trim a little more off the Grappler body, and be lighter then my barely legal bug body. It sits just as low, but has a narrower cab width. From a purely comp standpoint, it should work great. The roof is sitting at just a shade over 7" tall, it is nice and low right now. With a little more trimming it could probably go even lower too. |

Lookin good Brad. I'm really curious to see how this thing compares to the bug body in rollovers.

looks good. I just lowered my Rock pleazer bod but need a new lid due to rock rash. Looks like the Grappler may be the ticket, similar style |

Did you change battery setups again? Or are these just poser shots?

Thanks again guys. Those are just poser shots. I drove it after I took a bunch of pics without the battery set-up on the front axle, it looked a lot cleaner. We got some action shots too, I'll try to get some of them posted up soon. |

| The body being so low kinda looks like it would interfere with the battery setup. Looks killer though!

I just ordered a set of those beadlocks off of ebay. What is the weight of them compared to a set of rc4wd's? Great looking rig by the way |

Knowing Bender, alot more plastic will come off of that body Honestly, I couldnt say what I like more, the Bug, or the new Losi. Both look killer! |

| I'm sure more material will come off at some point. Thanks. It is sitting just a bit lower, belly clearance is just under 3" now. |

Oh it'll definitely go lower... I have my Grappler mocked up at 6", but I'm shooting for 5 1/2 I'll have a little less belly clearance then an SW-3 though. | |

That's definitely looking tight. I really dig the mini RCC hood stickers |

Hey Brad, the new body looks like it's gonna be a real winner...looks like it should roll over pretty nicely as well...it was nice to see some more angles of it... |
