SC10 body?

[luke1983]

Hi everybody, i'm new to the forum and from the UK but living in germany at the minute. Firstly its a great forum and i have found it very useful.
I am currently upgrading my savvy...

So far i have ordered the I-RC TVP and skid plate.
I want the new 24mm hexes when available and i'm going to stick some baja beadlocks on, i've seen it done and it looks well cool!

I was thinking of this body http://pics.towerhobbies.com/imagel/a/lascc1842.jpg anybody used it on a savvy? its for the Team Associated SC10....

I would like to try and recreate this old classic http://www.tamiya101.com/model_info.asp?id=86.

Sorry its links and not pics. I tried uploading some and can't seem to get it to work.

Welcome to the forum! That link for the body doesn't work, however there are a couple people here that have mounted the HPI Blitz body to their Savvys and they look pretty cool. I think just about any SC body would be the same since all the SC trucks are so similar.

Received this body today, it's from a Traxxas Slash. Still not trimmed, just sat it over the posts.







It will rub on the fat Revo wheels/tires, and probably on the Terrapins too, due to their huge flex. But I have a set of Badlands waiting, I think it will fit perfectly.

Looks extended, the ones I've seen on standard trucks have the wheel wells lined up more evenly with the tires.

Awesome, I have a Proline Desert Rat Slash body sitting on my shelf waiting to be cut/trimmed and painted for my PRC FLUX XL build.

It's a XL, so it's extended

Yep, really wheels line up better on standard chassis, but this body is huge, it barely fits between XL bumpers.

Due to this, I'm thinking about reinforcing it with a thin layer of fiberglass, 'cause it will be touching the ground and flexing much harder than the stardard body.

It must be huge on the XL because it is a perfect fit on my DB-17 chassis!!!!!! I was shocked by how big it was... espeically when it fits right over my XL shell!

 

[luke1983]

I might stick with the standard chassis plates first then as i want the wheel arches to line up with the wheels.

I guess i'll have to see when it arrives!
