I had to reseal the sts 30 and change to an hpi carb . Ran awesome after that . Until the first backflip and a half. I broke the engine case. That engine was short-lived . Might have to get a engine case for it . Wasn't even broken in only about a gallon on it.

Maybe I'm thinking of a different body.. I know the length was like 22 inches, which is perfect for the xl.

Not sure but personally I think the savage XL body looks cool. I would get a clear one of those.

The problem with the hpi bodies, is they aren't very thick. I usually blow the mount holes out in the first run. The flux is the only truck I replace the body on due to wear, it spends a lot of time on the tailgate or roof slides also. But I mean really I guess I can't complain since the weight of the flux coming down on the roof can't be easy to absorb and not cause damage to the shell.

I had a hpi jeep wrangler body for the flux. I ran it for about 10 mins, all 4 mount holes pulled through (broke the lean around the holes and pulled past the pins) and the body came flying off at around 60mph

Its the Proline Razor back and there is 5 different versions. Lol that's insane but too pricey. I bet the guy could sell them separately.
