| Want a new body to replace the Defender body?
I love the look of this body, but it is way super top heavy. I would like to have a second body to put on it. I would like it to obviously be lighter and less top heavy than the Defender body, but I would also like it pre-painted. I have no interest or skill set in a clear body at this point. Thanks

I know you said pre-painted, but having that extra skill will help. It never hurts to try! Mistakes will be made, but you will learn from them! With that out of the way, this is my body. I painted it myself, yes I messed up, but I made the mistake work and not look too bad. It’s on a Bronco chassis, but I have the defender links and shock towers, so pretty much a defender Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

This is what I painted and it was my first body, I wanted to have a body to use for rock crawling that was super light as the defender is more for my trail. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Pro-line makes sl Jeep body in the 12.8" wheelbase or if you switch to the 12.3" wheelbase you open up your selection.

wheel base will be your biggest issue. i ran into the same issue with my tactical unit. i shortened my wheelbase and then got a hard body that was lighter than my original body. it is held on by really strong magnets so there are no body posts showing.
