Bodies for EXT Rustler chassis??
3 Attachment(s)
I have an FML Rustler extended wheelbase chassis. Wondering what bodies fit good on it?
Right now I have a slash body on it. It fit's "okay", but the slash is (roughly) a 13" wheelbase, and I have a 12" wheelbase. So far the best option I have found is the JConcepts BAJR body. I like the looks of the short course truck bodies, but I'm doing speed runs....so probably not the best idea. I'm running a VXL system on 3S lipo and a 2.4 radio. |
Bueller?......Bueller?......Bueller?.....????
Wow....nobody? Is this an unpopular chassis or something? |
For serious speed runs with that chassis, you will need a buggy body and both front and rear spoilers. If you get some wheel adapters you can put a 1/8 scale onroad body on it.
This is the body that i've been bashing with over the years. Well RC years. http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z...r/DSCF4035.jpg |
I'm running this one. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDKZ4 The 11.8" wheelbase is close enough, I think.

The Kyosho Aston Martin body fits perfect over my extended Rustler. With the narrower buggy tires the tires wil tuck. However, I have the older bulkhead, which had the extended option. I don't know if the new FLM Rustler is a tad longer that the older version to make up for the bulkhead extension difference.

What is that first body pictured? Jato body?
Got a link for the kyosho on-road body? Oh, and I'm just enjoying how fast I can get this going....I'm not "all-out" serious.....just having fun. The back road I live on was recently paved....:D I've got a 76 tooth spur and a 35 tooth pinion (and lots of other gears too)(those are just my fastest combo). I recently found out about putting vent holes in the rear of the slash body to cure the "lift-off" issue. So I've actually been able to top-out my car....probably more left in it though. Here are two bodies I have been looking at: http://pics.towerhobbies.com/imagel/h/lhpic7184.jpg http://pics.towerhobbies.com/imagel/j/ljcoc1191.jpg |
