| Bushwacker? Anyone running one on a Super? I'm trying to decide if I want to use the body or not. Searched and all I found was 2.2's or TLT builds. Mainly interested in how they are being chopped up. Or if being ran stock/whole, also interested in body mounts. |

BENDER used an FJ (almost the same) body on his ROCTAPUS TXT Super. You can see various pics of it in this post. "ROCTAPUS" |

Mine's on a 2.2 so it's not exactly what you are looking for, but if it'll help, here's how I had to cut up the body to run 2.2 Red rocks. WB on this SW2 build is ~13". As you can see, it still rubs a bit on the rear, mostly when I hit an obstacle with just one front tire. Note, with narrowed Moab's, I get virtually no rubbing...it's just these damn MASSIVE Imex tires. But they work so well with the airsoft bb's in 'em, I can't bring myself to run w/out 'em. RE: Body posts, I'd originally reamed a set of holes in the roof but couldn't find posts long enough so I went with the side mount. So now I have a total of 8 holes in the Bushwacker :neutral:...two sets on the sides (first ones were too high) and the ones on the roof. I'm not very good at this. Also note that this was the very 1st body I ever painted myself. |

Tanks, that gives me some ideas. I was figuring on going high in the back. and minimal in the front. Looks like most stop at the body line .5" below the window. |

Would one of you guys be kind enough to post the length of the Bushwacker body and also the wheelbase. I would also like one of these bodies for my 17" truck. I have mailed the manufacturers twice requesting the information, but they seem to not want to reply. Thankyou. |
