Is there any bodies out there for this truck.... if not i have an idea to share if you get a Nitro Stampede body mount you can cut off the Nitro Rustler body mounts off and put the Stampede body mounts on

kxbeastrider

Oh yeah, many bodies are availble. Some guys get the Atomic, pre-painted bodies which look really good, IMO. Also, Proline makes some really nice bodies that are not painted.
I have a GMC Sierra body for a while then I got the Crowd Pleazer 2.0. Here are some pictures of it.

kx,

What is holding the body pins on your body?

kxbeastrider

Oh heres a shot of the Sierra body..

kxbeastrider

Dubro makes them.
They are body clip holders, thats all I know them buy. They come in different colors, and in sets of two with body clips. You will never buy another set of body clips after these. They are real cheap too.

I make my own but I see those on alot of trucks and they look pretty cool.

NirtoRuslter09

if you do the body mounts of the Stampede then you have all the bodies for it

twomanytoys

I found them. Thanks. YEAH Racing also makes a body clip retainer.

NirtoRuslter09

i have to get some of the body clip holders

kxbeastrider

Yea, you could do that. IMHO, that makes the truck look exremly goofy.


Oh and to the post with the Jato. He is talking about NR's not Jatos. The Jato bodies will not fit on the rustler, well that is unless you do some cutting to it.

NirtoRuslter09

well true but that allows you to get more body options

twomanytoys

kxbeastrider,

I never said anything about Jato bodies fitting a Nitro rustler. I asked a question about body pins so Im not sure what you are talking about?

kxbeastrider

Oh ok, my bad. I over looked that. Sorry about the misunderstanding there.

so if you get a jato body you have to do some cutting right

kxbeastrider

Yes lots of cutting from what I have heard, if it even fits right. The Jato and ruster are completely different, from from to back and side to side.

twomanytoys

Thats cool!

NirtoRuslter09

thanks and its cool to know things like this

kxbeastrider

Not a problem.

kx since the Crowd Pleazer has the openings in the window spots does that help keep the engine cool..... i am looking into buying a body similar to that

twomanytoys

The JAto and new nitro rustler bodies are almost exactly the same. The only thing different is the mounting holes.

NirtoRuslter09

so does it help keep the engine coo

twomanytoys

You should always have a hole in the windshield to help keep it cool.

kxbeastrider

Yes it does keep it cool. However, the body does not come with those holes already in it. It is up to you to cut them out. However take caution when doing this. Do not cut all the way down the edge of the front window, then whole side window. When you do this, it makes that side of the body weak and it will break easily.

I dont know if that made since or not, but thats why I cut the hole in the center of my front window and only took about 3/4 of the side windows out. I left a good bit of plastic there.

NirtoRuslter09
