Savage Body
I'm just looking for a list of manufacturers of savage bodies.
I pretty much only know of pro-line, who make tough bodies. I'm mainly leaning toward [link=http://prolineracing.com/bodies/2007-chevy-silverado-t-e-2-5-maxx-revo-savage/]this body[/link].
Looks kind of plain to me though, I like the look of the stock savage flux body, but it's way too thin.
Any other manufactures out there that make really strong bodies? I'm mainly looking for the toughest body, I don't like the look of bug bodies at all, since I know that will be suggested.
Thanks for the suggestions.

RE: Savage Body
Also keep in mind bidies that advertise fitting the revo 3.3, T Maxx 3.3, and mgt 8.0 fit the savage as well....I just painted a 72 Chevy C10 (I think thats what it was called) and I think it looks killer.

RE: Savage Body
My Desert Rat body for FB2 is holding up decently, but i've got a few cracks now. Considering some of the crashes its had for such big body on a heavy MT, its holding up pretty well.

RE: Savage Body
I like the HPI Grave robber body alot(specially with Halloween coming).
Only thing that was disappointing is on my trucks 1st flip it ripped the body some by a mount post.
I also like the looks of the HPI charger body but hate that you have to tape the rear end on (royally stupid IMO) as its fallen off on me a few times and I had to look for it for 20 mins...

RE: Savage Body
I don't know, I just really don't like the looks of bug bodies. They don't look too bad on slashs, but it just really puts me off seeing them on savages 
no offense of course, opinion 
I think I'm going to go with the Silverado body: looks nice, only $25, 0.06" lexan, hopefully last longer than a month....

RE: Savage Body
if this one doesn't hold up I'll get the bug body then, thanks for the advise! (even if I'm too stubborn to follow it and might learn the hard way anyway ) The proline blazer body looks good too, but I don't like that high mount on the rear.....I'd love a grave digger body eventually for awesome they look, wouldn't run it hard though...haha.

RE: Savage Body
I don't care for that "semi" truck look of that body either. Plus, looks like it would be really easy to cave and crack the shell on a hard upside down landing with that huge roof.

RE: Savage Body
I don't like that GMC body more than I don't like the bug bodies
But the silverado body is very nice looking, and still looks like a truck.

Yeah, im trying to decide what im gonna replace my Desert Rat body with. Its holding together, but I dunno for how much longer. I really like the standard Savage body look but its just too damn thin of lexan to stand up to abuse long

i think the bug bodies make them look like a car...kinda takes the truck theme completely away from it. this is a truck body!
