Default aftermarket Shortcourse bodies

Which body do you like the best? I've got a split/crack in mine and am considering a new one. I'm leaning toward the JConcepts Manta but also like the Raptor SVT. It's going on an SC10.

I'm having the same exact debate. I think I am gonna go with the Manta for my SC10 as it looks more aggressive to me. I'd like to know how well it holds up, since it has been out for a few months now.

Just got my Manta a few days ago, it's pretty awesome. The detail is top notch and it has a nifty wing that comes with it as well. It's basically a silverado body but I made some Toyota Tundra grill and headlight decals for it instead.

My Manta body came with a scrt10 and it lasted days. Cracked if front on the windshield, flairs came off the wheel wells, very thin. I contacted jconcepts and they are sending me a new one specific for the jammin. If you search you can find others that have problems but jconcepts wanted photos and they replied the next day to send a replacement. Top notch customer service. Body is the best looking one out there too.

Stock SC10 body's are my favorite... The seem to last longer than the others I have tried.

Well whatever you get, dont get the new chevy body from proline. Money well wasted. Mine has 4 or 5 races on it and its junk.

Same with the F-150 body. one race and mine was cracked to hell in the back. and were you have to trim it to fit over the SC10 bumper, that cracked all the way up first race. Please tell us how the raptor body holds up that looks SWEET.
