Jato bodies

[jato46347]

I am wanting to do a truck body for my jato but I am not sure what will fit nice. If any of you have made something like this work please let me know. Thanks

I've never owned 1 but I would say look into a slipstream or crowdpleaser type body for something like a Rustler. They are a comparable rig as far as size goes. Proline or J Concepts should have a few for the Jato. Have you tried Ebay yet?

I have found some of the crowd pleaser bodies. But I would like to find more of a regular or classic truck body. Like an
F-150 or a f-350. I know those bodies are more for the tmaxx and savage but I was wondering of any body has made something like that work. I seen that pro-line has a 1970 Chevy style truck body. It looks like it might work but I'm not sure

This is more of a stadium truck body.http://www.horizonhobby.co.uk/autoonline/j7parma/j7_body_10_offroad/j7_10214_xciter_jato.html

The only truck bodies I found on jatos were the ones that had aftermarket suspension raising it up enough that the shell could be trimmed and fitted.

Part of the hobby is thinking outside the box and modding something to something else. I used the 70's chevy for a stampede and fit it on my ax10:

While not meant for a rock crawler I did some slight mods to it and poof!!

Yea you are right I agree. I was just trying to get a rough idea of what would work. I would hate to go buy a lid and really have to chop it up to make it work.

A guy that comes into my lhs has a Silverado body on his Jato, I think he just used one from a Stampede and modded it to work. I'm not sure when I'll see him again bit when I do I'll ask him.

Cool thank you. Yea I was looking at the wheel base for the stampede and it looks like I might be able to use that lid with minimal trimming.
