If you're looking for a replacement body for your 1/10 scale Rustler 2WD, the SummitLink Custom Body Flag Strip Style is a solid choice. Right out of the box, the vibrant paint job and decals catch your eye—it looks just like the product photos, which is always a win.
The durability is impressive. I've taken this body on some rough runs, including jumps with oversized MT tires (admittedly pushing my luck), and it held up surprisingly well. Unlike some factory shells that feel brittle, this one has a nice flex to it that helps absorb impacts without cracking.
Installation was mostly hassle-free. The pre-drilled holes aligned perfectly with my Rustler 2WD, though I did have to slightly widen the rear mount hole with a reamer—a quick fix. The white interior finish is a nice touch, making it easier to spot wheel scrub marks after muddy sessions.
One minor gripe: over time, the pin holes can start to tear if you're constantly removing/reinstalling the body. Also, don’t expect a fin/wing included—it’s just the shell. But for the price? It’s hard to complain when it handles dog bites (yes, really) and rough bashing this well.
Bottom line: If you want a budget-friendly, tough-as-nails body that looks sharp, this SummitLink shell delivers. Just keep an eye on those pin holes during heavy use.
