I have the hummer body right now its WAS a good body I run a roll cage and need a wider body that will fit over the cage.. Do u have any suggections.... Also I turn this thread into 2 what bodies do u own and was is the strongest out there
Any LST size body is a bit wider, I have the crowd pleazer 2.0 and the F-650 in that size, the Savage X body is slightly wider. Parma also makes a few that are wider their 1/8 size grave digger body, a F-150 and a chevy pickup, they may have added more since last time I was looking at bodies a while ago.

what body do u have and witch one o u think is the strongest
I have the Proline CP 2.0, the F-650, Savage X body, and the Parma Chevy.
I wasn't happy with the CP 2.0, I like the F-650 and the Parma bodies. The next larger one I will be getting will be the Parma Grave Digger Body, I think that the panel van/surburan style bodies take more beatings than most but that's my opinion. ;)

The wheel wells won't line up like they should. other than that it should fit fine.

well, the pic shows it ON a Savage, so I would imagine it fits :buttshake: unless he is mistaken about the actual model/make/manufacturer...

I seen the pic I just thought u would need a 1/8scale body you know
I have seen a few 1/10, 190-200mm car bodies on savages, and believe it or not with a little creative cutting can look quite good on the savage frame. ;)

190mm doesnt really fit. it barely fits the distance between the body posts most of the time. 200mm shells should fit fine.

I think it depends on the style of the body more than anything else, the difference between 190-200 is so little, they should still fit on the body posts. If not there are other body post that you could use to make it work.

Here is a link to Parmas site I would think any R/c place could get it I bought it from my local one note if I remember right this is the body I had to turn the back body post 180 degrees otherwise it fits great and it has taken a 65-70 foot moto-cross jump many times

Here is another pic of a proline 200mm corvette body but this one I had to cut the roll bar down so I don't think this one would work for you

I like the way that one looks TH3180, also the HPI viper body fits about the same as that, sorry no pics viper body went when I sold the car.
