I have always liked the look of RC10T-style stadium trucks, and my Blackfoot has never had a body, so I've been thinking of trying out this body shell by JConcepts. I can't find any dimensions online, and I'm worried the wheelbase will be too long, but what do you all think? Are there any other stadium truck bodies out there that are short enough for the ORV chassis?

The RC10T has a wheelbase of 11.1 inches, which is 1.5 inches longer than a blackfoot at 9.6 inches. I did a little bit of searching and the closest one I found was a Stadium Blitzer body at 10.2 inches. It'll be tough to find one that small.

The Blitzer and Titan might work--thanks. I thought about a Blitzer Beetle body too, but I don't like the look of the bug shell on anything but a Scorcher.

I think my biggest question with stadium truck bodies is--do they measure the wheelbase of the chassis or the body (center to center on the wheel arches)? Because in the pic I posted above, the chassis has a much longer wheelbase than the body, which means that some bodies might actually look ok on a shorter wheelbase chassis because of where the wheel arches line up.

You would have to do a bit of jiggery pokery with body posts but Stadium Blitzer doesn’t look to bad. Seems to visually line up on the wheel arches...

I'll second that. I ran a Stadium Blitzer body on one of my old Blackfoots about 15 years back. Looked pretty good.
