Hi everybody,
Me and a friend of mine want to buy an electric off road RC car each to have some fun around the area we live, mostly mud, forests and rocks.
We would like to know a good platform/ Chassis to start with.
Our main issue , apart from the budget (max 500/600 euros);
Is that we would like to buy several body shells in the future, (mainly real models so for example challenger , skyline , defender etc....) but browsing the web we can't figure out which Chassis is compatable with most of this body shells.
So is it possible to have very different body shells on a single chassis? and if it is possible , which is the best offroad one with a budget of 500/600 euros?
Thanks to everybody !!!!

Do you have a local hobby store near by? That would be my first stop to see what type of RTR kits they have and have parts for. If not take a look thru the monster truck section as that will probably be what you’re looking for.
For bodies, most vehicles can take different bodies with a body post change. Within reason of course, you’re not going to fit a 1/12th scale pan car body on a 1/8th scale monster truck. The biggest aftermarket body maker is Proline so start there for bodies https://www.prolineracing.com/pro-line/bodies/
