I recently purchased the new redcat rockslide rs-10 xt. Ilove everything about the crawler except the body. If anyone can point me in the direction i need to go to get a jeep cherokee or wrangler body for it i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks alot. It is the 1/10 scale also.

proline makes them.

if a VW baja bug body will work for you, redcat has one. it fits nicely on the rockslide. i had one on mine.

www.prolineracing.com has both of the bodies you are looking for.

have the redcat rs10xt,, how can i mount the proline jeep rubicon body i just bought as it is too wide for the stock body mounts?

I picked up a toy grade truck from a local thrift shop and mounted the body to my cliff climber.
It looks pretty much to scale, not bad for $1

fishmanhd

fishmanhd

I se nt a pic of the part i needed if it shows up ,,it the small green tube between the chassis plates that the shocks hook to

fishmanhd

some more body questions ,,,,I m new at this ,,but i purchased the proline jeep rubicon body,,to mount on my redcat rs10 crawler,,, seems when you cut it out the bumpers are separate from the body ??? so Im wondering what method people are using to mount them.

Either shoe goo or super glue.

Smiff 24

Shoo goo works good for me.
Ive even used an old soldering iron and melted parts of a plastic body back together.
move the tip in a circluar motion so it smears the plastic together.

fishmanhd

I did shoe goo the small ball stud back into the stripped tube for the time being,,have to see if it holds up.

anyone know of a site that sells pre painted bodys that are scale? i want something that has all the basic stuff done like the paint, windows, headlights, tail lights all the little details like that for my hpi crawler king. ill add the accessories like tow chains, gatorade coolers, gas cans etc myself. links would be great thanks

Just buy a body and paint it.

diabolic-mind

i would but im not that good at painting, and i would rather have it look good than look like ****. even if it will be getting beat up on the trails!

It really isn't that hard to do. Buy a couple of rattle cans and paint away.

diabolic-mind

do the windows come with pre cut pieces to mask them off? and if they do are they pre applied? i would probably do a ****ty job masking off the edges of the windows lol

t9dragon

My Feedback: (11)

Yes most bodies come with window mask that you apply on the inside of the body and they also come with overspray film on the out side of the body that you remove once you are all done painting. If you want I can post pics later of the stuff that comes with a body.

diabolic-mind

yeah that would be sweet man, thank you

zman5000

you might go to ebay and type in scx10 bodies

diabolic-mind

would scx10 bodies be a proper scale fit on my crawler king?

fishmanhd

finally got the rubicon body on my redcat,,sorry bout the poor quality of both the picture and my paint work.
