Hi, any king soul has the specs for Desert Gator body shell? I thought of using it on my gold chassis. Or maybe someone had used it and show a pic over here? I've seen one of the forumer using Sand Viper's body but have not seen the Desert Gator's. Thanks.

Here it is before I cut it up, the sand viper body is on the following pages.
Note that the cockpit is too narrow to fit your ESC on the shocktower.
It is pretty low also.
Don"t be fooled by the impression from the rear shocks: they are not full length.
Both the sand viper and thedesert gator on this tread were mounted to an ultima, not RC 10.
It certainly is worth trying: very low cost shell but beautifull design.
The only minus I found is the ribs on the nose: bit challenging if you want to put stickers or a paint design
