River hobby super croc/hobby pro mutilator 6 body

[Skrib1988]

Hi all, I've been searching for a body shell for my hobbypro mutilator to no avail, is the 1/5th scale super croc the same car as they are still being made where as mutilator isn't? Anyone have a link to any model shop site that supply them?

Show some more up close pics of your rig, becuase to me it looks like a clone of one of the FG cars. And if it is, your in luck cuz there is no shortage of FG stuff!

Sure looks like an FG! http://www.jhchobby.com/ecommerce/hobbypro/hobby-pro/h6-1-6-mutilator-6-off-road-buggy.html
@Skrib1988 That looks like a clone of the FG Marder. I bet this body will fit: http://www.davesmotors.com/fg-06154-white-marder-body.html You can probably find one on Ebay for cheaper.

Definitely looks like a FG Marder clone. So I'd look at the Marder for replacement parts and a body ?

The marder has a tappered chassis though won't the body be tappered too fit that chassis sides are straight on my rig?

Didn't notice that, ok than I don't think it's the Marder. The chassis looks alot like the FG Leopard. The suspension pieces look like Marder tho. I'm not the most knowledgeable on FG so hopefully someone more knowledgeable can come in !

Get that truck? I wouldn't personally. Becuase, it looks like a unique to that clone company design that parts would suck ass to get and wouldn't be great quality with zero aftermarket support. Personally, I'd just go on eBay and get a nice used Fg, parts will be easy to come by, there will be aftermarket support for them, and you'll be able to find alot of information on them unlike that thing. A direct clone is one is thing, but a one off design by a no name China company is another.

No sorry, I mean just the roll cage and body shell mounts as seems like that's the newer version of this car/truck that I have. It maybe a better option than searching for a body that may not fit.
