Granite Granite truggy body options

[smint]

I've purchased a Granite BLX but i'm not too keen on the truck body. Are there any body options anyone can recommend for a sleeker look? Something like a Rustler or edgy like the Team Magic E5 HX.

The 1/10 Fazon is a direct fit I believe
The holes will match, the front body mount will need to be lowered, not sure about the bumpers or the side mud guards

Thanks. I had a look and it's a cool option and with a wing it should look awesome. I'm happy there are wing mount options for the Granite!

Anyone know of any other similar bodies? Happy to drill extra holes or buy additional mounts. I just need it fit the wheel base and not look weird.

The Fazon body is too skinny IMO. Stadium truck bodies can fit but the rear body post could be a problem fitting. Most bodies that are short wheel base like the Granite (stadium truck/truggy wise) are made for 2wd and sitting lower for the body post because of the rear shock tower. The have elevated holes for the shock tower to pop up into so the body can sit lower. Body design in the rear would have to allow holes for the body posts holes to be drilled.

Thanks for the pics. It looks like the Fazon body doesn't cover the sides of the chassis enough. But the Rustler seems like a good fit? Which is good to know because i quite like the look of the Rustler.
Is there enough space at the back to fit the Outcast 4s wing mount with the Rustler body?

The Fazon will fit if you open the sides a bit when you mount it, it's missing just a few mm.

Any body to fit Traxxas Stampede, like Proline or J concepts will fit Granite nicely.

Thanks didnt know about J Concepts. This looks like a great looking and affordable option!

Kraton 4s body will fit

If anyone is curious I found a video of someone who put a Rustler body on their Granite. He got some colourful commentary during his race

He only needs to lower it and that'd sort out the uglyness. Also, at the end you can see the large tailgate area is not blocked by the body. So for anyone looking to add a wing mount like me, it doesn't look like you have to cut the rear of the body to fit the wing mount.

does the kraton 4s body require substantial modifications to fit it on the granite?

Yes. It’s wider and longer
