Default 1/5 scale 4x4 body

In what I think was a minor crash I shattered my Redcat Rampage body. I had always read that it was a poor quality body anyways. My question is, are there better constructed bodys out there? Fg, MCD anyothers? I like the MCD body, is it sturdier than the Rampage body? The FG is mulitple pieces, is that a good strong design? Any info would help. Thanks

I dont own either m8 but i would imagine the MCD and FG ones would be better quality and alot stronger but you pay the price for them

it may or may not fit (think i seen one on here with it) but the proline 5t body might fit... you can pick them up for like $100 and well its pro line do i need to say more

there are some things that need upgarded, servo's mainly... but with some mod's they can be nice rigs for the money. here's my 2 rampages.

I see the Rampage replacement body is about 1/2 as much MCD or Fg, but if the quality is there its would be worth it to me.
