Default RE: Aftershock Body on a Backdraft?


ORIGINAL: Devils-Reject

i like the slash body but its 1/10 scale right it may be to small to fit the 1/8 backdraft and others
look on ebay for used bodys
also try a truggy body it would easier to pick up a beat up for cheap and do a mach up and then once you see what you need and how to do it pick up a good body and do the final set up.
thats what im doing with this cheap nikko body.

its made of hard plastic and will bust in a crash so i took almost like brake line and made a cage for it so when it flips it will land on the steel and not the plastic.

i am also planning on making a sand rail type of steel tube body for the backdrafts and sell them and they will look like a sand rail
i am also making steel a-arms, shock towers and other custom parts that i will be selling cheaper than the aluminum as well.

the backdraft and aftershock are the exact identical chassis. so a 1/10 slash body or any body made to fit a slash will fit them.

even though there rated at 1/8th scale, there not. if you set them side by side with a slash, there identical in size.

for the backdraft, just buy aftershock body mounts, and bumpers, and any slash style body will fit fine.
