Senton Cheap Basher Bodies

[Rain]

I would like to source a cheap body for bashing, the one that came with the truck is starting to show wear. Any secrets to getting one cheapish? Links would be appreciated. Thanks!

Damn those used to be like $20.
Do they still pre drill the holes in those for the Slash?

Thank You, I had seen these but wasn't sure it there were cheaper options that I couldn't find.

If you look at the Slash bodies they start at $29.99 for the bug body. https://www.ebay.com/itm/253362791348
I highly recommend that you gorilla tape those bodies. And you will have to make new holes for Senton as they are pre drilled for the Slash.

Fibretape + Silicon sealant has taken quite a beating. How much abuse can the Gorilla Tape take? Isn't it pretty much just Gaffer tape?

Time to value calculator would say that is not a valid investment.

....but..... Anyone remember plasti-dip?... LOL

Time to value? It’s a wooden box that anyone with rudimentary skills could build in 20 mins and a shop vac, afterwards you can make 1 or 100k bodies with it and you can make any body style you want, you asked for cheap and that’s the cheapest option.

True, and I could easily handle it, but try having a 5yr old girl, I'd have to paint it and that is where the time comes in.

So you make her one so she can paint too, let her plaster one up with water colours while you work on yours.

Look around for deals. I found discontinued Fury bodies for 6 Euros recently. Bought 3. I don't even have a short course truck!

Woah.

I only suggested gorilla tape as it is easy to apply and works better than duct tape. But yeah drywall tape and shoe goo is about the best. This guy tested a bunch of different combinations of stuff.

Oh wow that's a thorough post! Thanks for the link.

FYI, Jenny RC had the Senton Bodies for 22.95 earlier today. I snatched up 5 of them in orange and green... Seems the prices are higher now, but I could pass on that price.

I am going to try some of the tricks we used to use on the desert trucks and race bikes to see if I can keep these looking as nice as those fiberglass skins back in the day.

I did plastidip my typhon body on the inside. Seems holding out quite good, but I didn't bashed my RC car that hard. Excuse my uneven paint job, I haven't done it for quite awhile.
