Hey jimmy....I was thinking about getting this body.Do you like it? Does it fit ok or do the tires rub a lot? And do you think it could be made to have a opening hood? Thanks in advance.

I like it better that the dynamic concepts jeep body I had on my first wraith, just because its one piece, I've seen some Modded to have a opening hood, I'm going different route withthis one, its gonna have a hinge up.front that'll allow the while body to swing up after removing 4little screws.

Front rubs a little but I'm using narrow hubs on the mayhems and its got a low stance. Doesn't rub enough to negatively effect anything

ive got the .450 hubs and will probably swap to the .650 or .750(whichever is just sitting on my buddies work bench), they look great but the do rub a little the color is a Pactra Polycarb Fiery Orange started with atomic rust on the inside then silver then black, then i removed paint mask and hit the outside of the body with a silver coat and finished with the fiery oranges, so hopefully the more it gets scrathed, the more old and rusted itll look        |
