Default Help decide body for slash 2wd

I can't decide jconcepts bajr, parma rattler or proline ford raptor for my 2wd slash. Looking to bash.

I've seen the Proline Raptor - thumbs down. Sorry

Every paint scheme I've seen cannot do that ugly body any justice.

Unless you FLY an RC car. There's a limit between stealth ground and stealth air - get it proper.

The rattler is a little thin and sits lower than most other bodies. My son picked it over the others for his slash.

Ya thin is not good , I like a nice thick body. Ha just relized it doesn't sound like rc talk lol. Even when I raced touring cars, the thinner lighter bodies just didn't last. Well out w/ parma rattler. Now between the Bajr and raptor. Any more thoughts?

i guess you looked through all the proline, parma, jconcepts stuff? then look at some of the brand name stuff. AE, losi hpi, I'm not sure if venom still makes some. different bodies will fit with some tweaking and modifying.

If you wanna go with a Jconcepts, look at the truth and dare bodies, they make the slash look awesome but since you have it narrowed down to the raptor or bajr, I'd go with the bajr

ThunderbirdJunkie has found regardless of style, PL bodies last a lot longer than JConcepts bodies. Dunno about the Parma. JConcepts' lexan is junk ITBJHO.

One vote here for the PL Chevy 1500

personally i think they all suck, none of them apart from the raptor have any real detail, sure i like the raptor (best looking SCT body ATM & sales reflect this) but who wants a body the same as everyone els... IMO most mid sections are to skinny compared to the real thing and makes the wheel arches look to big. I did like the !970 F truck but the back looks stupid

just cuz, hows this for a slash

The real truck bodies don't have any real detail either[&:]



If anything, the 1/10 SCT bodies have more detail than the bodywork on the 1:1 SCTs.
