There is a dearth of bodies for the XL for sure. You could always go "half-way"... add the wider axles but keep it with X length; at least it'll be a bit more stable.

I'd go with an SC body. I used the Gigante on mine, and it cracked right off the bat in the front corner on of the hood - and not on a real hard hit.

I'm almost starting to think that the thinner bodies that flex more and have more give to them are actually going to last longer....

I'm painting up an SC10 body right now for the Flux, I'll take a pic of it so you can see the length. Someone else on here had a SC body on thier XL a couple months ago. They look good.


Losi 8T 1.0, Savage Flux - XL style, LST XXL, Muggy, 3.3 E-Revo Conversion and sitting outside 425hp, 831 Tq Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel. It SMOKES
