looking for a nice body
 
I know a lot of you drifters out there have some pretty nice bodies, so i figured id post here. I saw a nice red scooby run around here on the forums that i really liked and id like to pick one of them up for my hpi rs4. Any suggestions on bodies for me? i really like jap bodies mainly and only really. but im open to anything. if you could post links to ones in specific that u like.

Yokomo shells hands down, tough as nails - SD-GDBFBS Yuke's SYMB GDB is a nice shell - here's a link to ebay, there's a bunch on there, great think also about Yok bodies is you can get light buckets for almost all their shells.

Most nitros need a 200mm body. Check the specs on your original as most drift bodies are 190mm.

You need to be carefull with these bodies on nitros cause the melt if they are near the exhaust, so in many case you need to cut a *big* part of the body to give space. For good bodies you can check HPI, Yokomo, Tamiya. The are about 60$ unpainted on ebay but i dont know for painted ones.

If you look closely, some of these are prepainted, like this one

Yok's are 200mm shells will fit on 1/10 scale on road chassis, but using a nitro on a nice painted shell is asking for problems, fuel will eat the paint unless you shoot a protective layer that's fuel proof.
