Good Morning mj.
And Tool if you are there.
Can you guys tell me where the best place is to get bodies for the slashes?
Yes that is plural, I bought a slash 4x4 ultimate to go with the 2 wheel drive.
I blame it all on the 2 of you for tempting me to GET HOOKED since I never would have on my own. "Yeah Right"
The problem is that once that brushless motor gets a taste of the LIPO battery the parts start breaking pretty quick.
I am in well over $200 now with all the extra parts but am in need of new bodies.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

All other projects seem to have slipped lately.

L8R,
Carl

I'd suggest any of the Pro-Line or JConcepts bodies . Not sure if your a Chevy Ford or other guy but , Pro-Line has the Silverado stock # 3307-60 and the F-150 Raptor stock # 3344-00 . J-Concepts has a generic Silverado called the Illuziion Manta stock # 0088 and also a Ford Raptor stock # 0090 . For something a little different Parma has a Speed Buggy type body stock # 1236 and Pro-Line has a Baja Bug stock # 3238-62 . As for where to get them right off I'd say continue to support your local hobby shop . If not a local one then Tower Hobbies or Stormer Hobbies are the 2 best . Www.towerhobbies.com or www.stormerhobbies.com .

Thanks mj.
Actually just got back from the hobby shop and I picked up the proline clear silverado body.
Trying a set of the proline beadlock tires as well.
The stock tires that came on the #7 2x truck would not come off the rims so I gave up on them.
Friggin Lipo Battery pulled chunks out of those tires.

Bathe the wheels in Acetone , it will loosen the glue enough to take an exacto knife and cut the tire off the rim . Which beadlocks are you using , make sure you tighten them down completely and evenly
