Default any love for the old Losi Heavy Metal Ford?
there's a guy who's starting to pull new bodies from a plug made from an old Losi heavy metal Ford body, so these things might have a bit of a comeback. given this, anyone on here have/had one and have pictures of it? also, reccomended gearing with a Novak 13.5 running on either 6 cell NIMH or 2s lipo saddle packs?

You talking about the one from Bluegroove in Canada?

Price is pretty good considering your paying nearly triple for the old Losi one.

so, all you need is the body and a mount for it in the front and it is a Short course truck?? or a 4 wd with a SC Body.?? do you need bigger wheels for it ??

Kind of, but it's much smaller than current common SCs.
Wheels are std buggy ones, again they are different to current SC wheels.

All in all I would call it ShortCourse buggy

Wow, that 2nd one is pretty ugly.

Yes all you need is the body and bodymounts and that's it. Just use the standard wheels/tires. In that 1st photo you can see the size comparison between the sct and this body.
