I saw a video on Proline (I think) undertray, and it seem to act like a rock collector. I think it might have been a "Ultimate RC" video. Maybe try search YouTube to check it out.

Try searching on YouTube for "Pro Line Racing 4x4 Slash undertray reviewed." I wouldn't buy / use it. Outerwear Shrouds work great tho.

Yes, I learned it the hard way ... I used such a expensive piece of plastic. It isnt worth the money. Its a rock collector and once their where rocks between chassis and undertray it doesnt need much to have holes in the undertray (area of the rear bulkhead) from bottoming out. And yes... there is a video from Ultimate RC. Another thing is, that your car is more complicated to disassemble.

ThaNks guys won't get the proline undertray

[tachikoma1373]

is there an overtray for the LCG yet? Jconcepts seem to be the go to people for overtrays so maybe they will do one soon.

[buduck04]

i would do the outerwears shroud anyday before I use the overtray from jconcepts

[walski29]

What savox should I go with I'm thinking 1257tg.anything better for the bigger wheels. Also any ideas on bodies?

[lowsaturn]

Also any ideas on bodies?

My son and I are using E-Maxx bodies.

[devildog88]

You should get the real sized proline bodies, they look sweet in the MT setups!

My son and I are using E-Maxx bodies.

Wow that looks sharp. Would you be so kind of giving me parts listing to replicate that, would be much appreciated.
Tire, rims, body posts needed hop ups etc.
Thank you.

Emaxx body here as well.

[bmxdude97]

[bmxdude97]

[RockchalkJayhawkz]

I would like to know what all you had to do to mount the emaxx body as well.

For some reason the picture on Tower Hobbies shows the back side of the wheels.

Tire foam: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXNNK9&P=7
Trimmed about 1/4" off each side.

Body posts: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXUVY6&P=7
Package comes with a lot more parts than whats pictured. You only use the longest posts for the front and second longest for the rear.

[lowsaturn]

are those slashes!!?

Yep. They are

[BCSteel]

I used adjustable body posts from proline for my body. Front fit fine and I widened the holes I the back a bit to make it fit.
2.2 rpm wide crawler rims with mashers

[hal001]

Thank you sir. And the pics====AWESOME.

What are you using for bumpers? I love that look. Thats what i want

[lowsaturn]

Front bumpers are the factory Slash bumper. For the rear we are using Stampede 4x4 wheelie bars.

[walski29]

Not to sure I like this body for this truck

[Fr8cture]

Not sure if its just the angle but the body looks too big for the chassis. Looks kinda weird but maybe try lowering it or something.

[walski29]

It's for the slash 4x4 looks good on smaller wheels, not these ones though. Can't lower will rub

[Fr8cture]

Its a nice body but it looks odd with that set-up.

[walski29]

I hear ya,hmmm

[briandee]

Not to sure I like this body for this truck

I actually like the look!

[Fr8cture]

I actually like the look!

Kinda funny the more I look at it the more I like it but at first it kinda looked wierd. I think its because the wheel was turned it looked weird. I love those chevy 1500 bodys though.
