Parma makes a body for the nitro rustler I wished a lot more companies would wake up and see how popular this truck is and start making bodies we don't have to modify to work. be sure you have a body post reamer and some sharp scissors.

MAN! Where can I get my hands on some import bodies! Something like a Toyota Tundra or Tacoma...Too many peeps got the Ford's and the Chevy's and the Dodges!...GIVE ME IMPORT OR GIVE ME DEATH!

**Dave mm** · 01-18-2001 06:52 AM

I would not be cought dead with an import, real car/truck or R/c car/truck. Of course the imports do not make real trucks. P.S, real trucks have big block V-8's

Dave mm,
Have you noticed where your Rustler was made?

**Psymbian** · 01-18-2001 08:41 AM

c'mon guys, lets not get into this whole import vs. domestic thing. I mean, it couldn't be more irrelevant in this case. Traxxas is an American company, but the vehicles are mad abroad. Regardless, you should be able to put whatever body you want on your truck. If you've got a real tacoma or f-150 and you want your R/C to be a little version of your big ride there is no reason that you shouldn't be able. Oh and BTW, my N. Rustler doesn't have a v-8, it's not a real truck, and I don't care. It's fun, loud, fast, and would look great with almost any body.

So just relax and have fun!

Psy...good point! What I ment to say was that I would like to see more import bodies in the RC market. Preferably because I like imports...not because I wanted something made from japan. If I wanted such I would of bought a Kyosho!

**tHe ReAl MiKe** · 01-19-2001 11:46 AM

fiberglass is pretty brittle...prob not a good material to use...

**smokinfast** · 01-19-2001 03:46 PM

WAKE UP!!! Did you guys ever look at HPI's bodies? U have to custom fit them but they look killer. I have a Ford F-150 4 the electric HPI MT. All you have to do is do a little creative hacking and it will look really good!

**Rustlerboy** · 01-19-2001 03:47 PM

Mike, its a Pro-Line body and you can get it at www.towerhobbies.com!

would it be to hard to make your own from
fiberglass, then you could make any body
type.

**Gadecrazy** · 08-01-2001 12:07 AM

I think this body rocks. It is mounted on a RC10GT and is a 190mm body. I would love to find it but cant. I think it is a prepainted body by Atomik. I could be wrong though. Any help would be appreciated.

Usually the tabs are there to hide the rear shock towers. BTW, the proline F-150 and Chevy Silverado are not for the Nitro version of the Rustler. They are for the electric versions but I do know the Chevy Silverado will fit the Nitro Rustler mounts but to attach the rear you must bend the truck bed or cut out for the tops of the rear shock towers. I plan to get an F-150 next and see how it fits. I would also like to see a Toyota Pickup body for the Rustler. I am puzzled as to why everything is for the T-Maxx while it kicks butt the Rustler is equally ruthless on both street and dirt which makes it the prime starter nitro vehicle. Plus, with smart spending on hop ups on a Nitro Rustler you can have a truck that easily beats down a stock T-Maxx and be able to play high speed on the street as well. Oh no! I just angered the T-Maxx fans. :-)

**offroader_66** · 08-06-2001 08:59 AM

its the other way, a stock rustler will beat a hopped up t-maxx!
