Status: offline 		ok, so i got this idea while i was looking around at the toyz. proline make 3 really neat rockcrawler bodies that are super small (1/14 if on real truck) the are 12.5" long 5"wide and 3.5"tall. this is almost a good size to wrap over your tires and be a sedan bodies for your truck! (at least for rc18) i was thinking of starting with the rockstar body and trimming it up to see what it looks like. Anyone think it would work? tell me your opinion!

If you decide to do it post pictures.

Status: offline 		if anyone is still interested i got the body today and i got indy silver and metalic green pactra, I didn't get scissors though couse my lhs wanted $12 a pair. I also had to put in a big order at tower sooo, i got a pair of stiaghts and i plan on using a dremel to get the wheels wells round. Good ner body fit and looks nice, (rear mount is on wing mounts) i think i will end up cutting some off the side off.

Status: offline 		ok, it looks like to make it fit i will need to cut about 1/2 off the wheel wells on all sides. I'm also going to make the car .5 in longer by turning the arms, i might get an exotek chassis but for it to fit with the susp arm mod it looks like 1/2 in on all sides, this would also be a really cool body for a recoil if anyone is interested in it before i chop it up? i will be using indy silver and metalic green.
