Bodies for Ruckus

[talktochad]

Can I get some pics posted of after market bodies mounted on a Ruckus? Or, if there’s another thread somewhere, link? I’m trying to see what people have come up with to sweeten up the Ruckus. Thanks!

I added a Torment front bumper and nerf bar set and went with a Slash body. A Traxxas wheelie bar keeps the back of the body intact. I didn’t want to hack up the fenders and it’s not a stadium truck anyway so I got creative with body mounts and kept the body up high like an off-roader should be.

E Revo body on Ruckus. REALLY wide 17mm hub adapters and creative rear body posts. I had to raise it some after the pics to allow the front wheels to turn.

Those are the stock tires and wheels from an old Arrma Granite. Wheels are super strong and for stock tires they hook up exceptionally well on a wide variety of terrains.

My son really like the MT instead of the SCT so we took the parts off of his Torment and he picked out a rustler body. Since this photo we have changed out the front bumper for a T bone Racing one (shorter and looks better). The splash paint job is pretty easy and we were both pretty excited by how it turned out.

This might be a dumb question, but the nerf bar sets I've seen don't come with screws. What kind do I need to attach as set? Are there universal size screws?

Here is a tamiya 911 body on a Ruckus...I posted this elsewhere but I'm pretty stoked by it. It took some trimming on the front fenders and using body posts from an axial.

That 911 shell looks hot!

I don’t remember the size but I just took the nerf bars with me to Home Depot and sized them up. Make sure you get nylon locking nuts so they stay put.
