    I think people are using bodies for other trucks, like the Stampede.

    I used the Stampede f-150 Raptor body. Works and fits great. A bit of customization is needed since the body was meant for an electric truck. If youd like I could post pics of the work

    Ok, here you go. I know i cut the sides too short, and I edged the cuts instead of rounding them off for bashing. this is strictly my road cruising body do to those simple facts. Also was my very first molded from scratch body. Live and learn haha


    After It was cut and painted -


    What you have to cut out -





    Great body and I actually enjoy modding things =)

    Always paint from the inside. And there are inner templates available as well for lining and such. Always remember to take your time cutting. Get lexan body cutters ($12 max) and grab some sandpaper. In my opinion, any 1/10 body will fit any car. You may need to make custom body mounts, but it comes with the territory.

    Sweet bodies

    I just won a bid online for dsloomers stuff out of Cali, got two bodies in the bid with some nice airbrushing. Check out him on ebay. Both are JConcepts body with wing, one painted black with white smoke airbrushed one black with blue flames! AND, I've got a custom one which should be coming out of the paintshop anyday from Zeilke racing. It is tight looking. That's my show cover.

    Thanks I was glad to have won them. I had one snatched from me before on ebay 30 seconds before it ended. It had the blue flame but also skulls on it. I don't have an airbrush so it was a good deal for them, one for my sons jato one for mine.
