    Looks like the standard HPI Defender 90 body. Actually it looks like a savage underneath it. I'm planning on putting one on my E-savge when I get a wheelie bar installed.

    Hpi do some of the best repo car bodies, there camaro and mustang bodies are awesome! Tamyia do some amazing work in polycarbonate but the are super $$$. I need to grab one of these for my crawler.

    I currently have a 60's bronco body on my Savage, also have a BAJA bug body to go on it when it get time. The only down side to the repo bodies on the savage is the distance between the roof anf roll. Generally one roll over is enough to crunch the body

    They still look cool though

    Pinch a shopping trolley and make an exo cage. Paint it black and presto . When I looked at RC Crawlers ages back one of the places people got the steel to make the chassis out of were shopping trolleys!!!

    actually I did see a site that sold roll cages for savages and e-savages a while back, but I think they went inside the roll cage, so it would have to be the right shape.

    I have used Ultimate Action Toys a few times and they are great to deal with.

    Those roll cages are cool but they basically still follow the original body shape (which sits quite low on the chassis) so you still have basically the same drama.
