[QUOTE="scooter60, post: 743234, member: 7529"] If you are just looking to replace the body, I think the Gen 7 is a 12.3" wheelbase and there are tons of body options out there for that wheelbase. Pro Line makes several different styles but they will be clear lexan and will require painting. As far as replacing the Gen 7. Maybe consider the Gen 8. Redcat improved a lot of things on the Gen8. It has portal axles, metal links, and a killer IH Scout body. There are tons of aftermarket parts out there to make them better. Another option is the Traxxas TRX-4 sport. It's a non licensed truck body that is similar to a Toyota body. It also has portal axles and metal links with tons of aftermarket support. They are right around $330 rtr. I built my wife a Trx-4 Sport out of their kit version a few months ago. It turned out really sweet and will out crawl any SCX10 or 10II that it has been around. I have around $500 in it including aluminum beadlock wheels and the aluminum front bumper. That doesnt include the led lights and inner fenders I added after it was built. [/QUOTE]
