AARON?

you got pics of your bull dog body?

Man I'm lazy and there's one thing I hate more than painting bodies and that's cutting them out. I have only used the stock losi bodies. And upgrade doesn't have a wrap for the losi bull dog body. So nope haven't tried it. It does look alot like the stock 2.0 body so any performance upgrade is prob not much. Proline and JC made their new style bodies look alot like the 2.0 body IMO. Just one more thing losi put out there and everyone else jumped on board.

cool, i sooo hate cuting bodys... but aaron is about to paint a body for me, if he didnt already start.. but one thing we were concerned about was how the body would hold up vs the stock...

Uh oh Reggie you changing your mind now on what body you want? I have a stock body already that you asked for. I will be painting your sometime next week. I just came down with a cold and I feel like crap. I am working on one today I will post a pic later tonight. I really like this body, Im starting to think it looks better than the stock body.

no i dont want a different body... i was just saying if it performs well and holds up to the abuse like the losi body, it could be a option in the future...

aww joy-baby got a cold...:cry: :lol::lol:....hope you feel betterr man

i want to see the one you painted for your truck you have it mounted?

Interested to see some of your work Aaron.

+1 on the cold and feel like crap. ;)

aaron joy 01-16-2010 02:55 PM

Thanks,
I will post the one I am painting when I get it finished.

Blackie001 you get the problem fixed with the dogbone and outdrive. I'm curious to see what the problem was.

If Jim at WED didn't take care of me so well Aaron would 100% be doing my bodies for me. :nod:

+1 my brotha. That's the story of losi's life. They innovate something and everyone copies it immediately. I too cringe at the thought of trimming out a body. What a hassle. It's so nice to have them pre-cut by losi. Just another reason for me to stick with the stock body. I personally think it looks the nicest anyway. Never had mine crack at the mounts. They seem to be lasting really well. I have had one crack between the fuel gun hole and the side window hole and I have had one crack some around the cooling head cutout from hitting the head some. Other than those small issues the stockers are holding up great.:nod:

I have never had one crack either, but a buddy of mine finally got a 2.0T and I gave him my 1st 2.0 body. It had 1.0 upgrade blue flames cut to fit on it and was in better shape than most of my other bodies. The 1st day out somehow he cracked it in 1/2 I have never seen a body do that but 1 race day and he managed to do it. Not sure what the deal is, but no issues with my bodies, then again I only run them 3 months or so and I use a different body to practice than race.

Damn Aaron that looks awesome! Awesome job!:nod:

aaron joy 01-16-2010 06:02 PM

Thanks the body is for a good friend of mine. I have a bulldog for myself but I am going to be at the back of the line before it gets painted.:lol:

tc5 man 01-16-2010 06:08 PM

aaron will the eight 2.0 t fit on my eight 1.0-t? or do i have to get a 2.0t chassis and longer, center rear shaft?

that is a nice body though.
