best body for composite craft/rpm worlds buggy?

Post by jwscab »

I'm in the middle of building a composite craft/RPM worlds buggy and trying to figure out the best body to use on it. It looks like the ultramolded chassi preference is a losi xx body, but I haven't seen if there is something recommended for the graphite chassis.

I've tried a losi pro-se/jr body and it looks like it might fit ok, and I have seen others use other bodies. Most of the time thought it looks as though the body cuts in too much behind the front wheels so the chassis peeks out from under the body.

so what are guys using with these buggies? I don't see many searching through the boards......

The ultra molded was designed around the Pro-SE body..... at least the rear worlds tower was...... and probably the chassis.

As for the C.C. chassis, I think most people just use rc10 based bodies. Shodog has a losi based protoform body on his though (i think).

interesting. I am using the worlds rear tower also, so it's got the integrated body mount and it has that dip in the middle.

Did you ever fit a body? If you put a body mount on the trans brace you would have a more robust body selection. You already know I opted for the RCPS Turbo Mirage, and it fits well, but it doesn't completely cover a small section of the chassis near the bellcranks/servo. An Andy's Pro Arrow body fits nicely. I would have used one on my build, but mine is clear and would need some paint.

No that chassis sits naked currently. I will eventually get an Andy pro arrow I think for it.

I know someone with a spare if you don't want to risk going directly to the source. Then again if you don't mind waiting a year or so for it to show up, if it ever shows up... :mrgreen:

Possibly. I've got other stuff I want to pick up that is higher priority right now.
