Super Noob
 
Ive been lookin at some RCs lately, and it seems that the best starter is the tt01...
Im really new to this level of RC... I guess ive only played with Toy grade...
The only one I have now is a 1:6 Nylint Scorpion Crawler
I wanted to change up from all of the normal bodies that ive seen yall do... I want to do a lowered truck body...
Ive seen some truck bodies that i know will work, but they werent too realistic lookin...
So my main question is, Will the bodies from say the rock crawlers work on this chassis?
The crawler bodies are alot more realistic...

So basically im torn between buying a truck body making it look lowered and it working for a drifter
or buying a crawler chassis and go offroad...
Can yall tell me about the bodies?

Pic of my truck... hoping to find a body to base after it... i seen one offroad style dakota...i think they made a frame based on a model car body though.. not sure

you can get just about any 190mm 200mm body to fit it properly. some may require a bit of modifications but they will work.

just measure out the wheel base for the body and make sure the weels will line up with the wheel wells on the body and make sure its wide enough and you should be good to go.

Thanks... so the mounting on them would be the same?

the body mounts should be the same unless the post are to tall/short then you might need to buy new ones
