Best body for a Gorilla chassis

The problem is that the bottom of the chassis and the batteries still are exposed and stick out like a sore thumb. I can live with this if I have to but would at least like to cover up some more of the batteries.

Try the Desert Rat by Pro-Line. I have one on my FLM EMaxx and it fits perfect. I also have a G3R chassis that I am building and I have positioned this body on it to test and see if it will fit okay...it does but you can still see the bottom of the gorilla chassis (ie., batteries are somewhat visible). It's not perfect, but better than many of the alternatives. Anybody else have any ideas?

2nd vote for the Desert Rat 3.3. Great looking body and it fits perfectly.

Thats a nice paint job! What's the difference between the desert rat and crowd pleaser bodies cause they look pretty much identical? Has proline released bodies for the new E-Maxx yet? They would have the extra length needed without the indents for motor and fuel tank cut outs. But above all else I'm mostly looking for something that will go down far enogh to cover up the batteries, cause other than that I like the look of the crowd pleaser. Originally the roller I bought came with a Hummer truck body and that had the same problem.

the dessert rat has a little wider fender flares than the crowdpleaser. it is very similar though. with the body posts all the way down it covers the battery tray.

Heres a pic of it mounted on my g2r.

Try this out. I run a GR2 with the Crowd Pleaser on it. I had to cut the body post down so the posts could go lower but it works great. You need to trim the front bumper up too. I could lower it more but I like the look I have and it protects the batteries just fine.
