Tear101 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Spotted these body shells on ebay. They say they fit traxxas slash. Anyone used one?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-10-Black-Shell-Body-for-Traxxas-Slash-M0522-M0524-M0280-Short-Course-Truck-/291458877984?hash=item43dc4d8a20:g:lk4AAOSwgkRVTblc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.K Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'd also be interested to know, can't really go too far wrong at that kinda money! Doesn't look half bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Points to note though it's PVC - so nowhere near as durable as PC (polycarbonate otherwise known as Lexan).You'll be lucky too if this dodges customs Addendum: I only paid £25 for a Blitz preprinted body in the UK.

Noj Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Needs 'pruning' as well.....Maybe it can be planted and a body shell bush will grow.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tear101 Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 I thought the same about it being made of pvc and as for dodging customs thats just down to pot luck!it bugs me that body shells for other cars or trucks(made by traxxas or pro line) can be picked up for like £20 but as soon as you mention Slash the price shoots up to £30-40. thats why when i saw this one for £24 i considered it. Customs will probably catch me and bump the price up to the normal range! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This'll be a big box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fontie Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I would be interest if a blitz shell fits, my Slash 2wd one has just about had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) This is the standard shell to the slash 4x4 clone found on banggood and or gearbest. I forget the tricks name but think it start hum mayb. It looks like traxxas finally shut it down I heard they filed a law suit Bcos it's a direct copy.It's called theHuanQi HQ 727 1:10Neither banggood or gearbest have it anymore. They do have other clones tho. The scx10 clone looks quite good and has all metal axles avalible for £20 lol.

RCbutcher Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 If you don't want to keep buying slash bodies another way is to buy a cage and make you're own panels. Some guys have modded the axial cages to fit the slash and they look really good. Wraith cage I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCbutcher Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I'm just gonna buy a proline flotec when I need one and then shoo goo the hell out of it.My last flotec cracked in two places within the first run, both rear corners. But I really like the look of the flotec shells. I might go with the dodge ram this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fontie Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Just had a Blitz shell delivered it doesn't fit on my Slash 2wd, its way to tall and the holes don't line up. Do the Slash 2wd and 4wd have different shells, does the Blitz shell only fit on a Slash 4wd. Just done some googling and the Blitz body should fit, only thing I got a Blitz Skorpion shell I guessed it would be the same...obviously not Edited November 9, 2015 by Fontie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davida Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Have you tried the JConcepts range of Bodyshells, good quality, and a distributor in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
