1978 Chevrolet Malibu Clear Body
for Losi 22S No Prep Drag Car, Slash 2wd Drag Car & AE DR10
This is a 1978 Chevrolet® Malibu™ Drag Car Clear Body. Pro-Line is proud to introduce the timeless 1978 Chevy® Malibu™ body specifically designed for the growing No-Prep SC Drag Racing scene! Bowtie fans will love this ultra-scale body that captures all the signature details of Mark Micke's 4,700hp, twin-turbo, 200mph+ G-body Malibu™.
Transform your Losi® 22S™ No Prep Drag Car, Slash® 2wd or AE DR10 into a scale 1/4-mile beast in retro-classic square-body style! We recommend using our Hoosier 2.2" Drag Racing Tires on the front, Hoosier Drag Slick SC 2.2"/3.0" Drag Racing Tires or Reaction HP SC 2.2"/3.0" Belted Tires in the rear, Pomona Drag Spec Wheels, and the Stinger Wheelie Bar to complete the ultimate hot-rod look.
To create the most scale look possible, the body is designed with a narrower track width than a traditional SC body. It is a direct fit on the Losi® 22S™ No Prep Drag Car & AE DR10, but your 2wd Slash® will require some modifications to fit correctly.

Pro-Line's team of innovators are also offering some exclusive 3D BONUS Parts, available for download, free of charge! Click the links below to grab 3D files to print-at-home on your 3D printer or send to an online print shop such as Shapeways:
- Bullhorn Exhaust Pipe .STL
- Ream a 14.5mm diameter hole in your body and insert it from the inside. Attach using Shoo-goo on the flange.
- Rear Body Post Reposition Bracket .STL
- Use these brackets between your Slash 2wd rear shock tower and PL Extended Body Mounts to move the rear posts 50mm rearwards. This will locate the Secure-Loc Caps on the flat trunk surface rather than in the rear windshield. This is not required but provides a better and cleaner looking fit.
