Yes I bought one... haven’t gotten it yet.
Planning on making a Gen8 flatbed.
I did learn something on a Jeep body I bought....won’t go over inner fenders. Tadaaa it will fit my Earthquake 3.5...with some mods.

Same one lol...not sure how it will fit by the wheel wells. Looks like I would have to not run a front bumper.

Here ya go, mated to an Element Enduro bed. Cracks pretty easy without good bumper protection, but I don’t hate it. Rustoleum Troy-Bilt Red.

Looks like you trimmed out the wheel wells a little larger to fit the wheels.

Not a real pretty job, that. The tires in that first pic are biggun Hyrax knock-offs. They might have needed less hacking with something smaller and Class 1-ish like the ones in the (lol) kind of gratuitous photos here. Sorry no side view, but you’ll see I had to trim real deep into the front quarter panel, almost to the bumper.

Mine came in today and needs some major trimming. If I move it more forward the body posts are in the windshield and the electronics and transmission would hang 1/2 way out the rear of the cab. I looked at moving axile back but that would require me buying new links or cutting the ones I have.

Interesting. I didn’t have a “posts through the windshield” issue but there was a fair amount of trimming to clear the tranny, if I recall. Stakeside might be an issue because of that? It’ll be interesting to see how this works out for you.

Maybe trimming the bottom back of the cab will let you move the cab just forward enough to fit posts? IDK, but yeah, I had to trim uncomfortably forward within the wheel wells.

Dez really nailed it with the green body he used, and no trimming even with the big Traxxas tires. Super clean.

[Grnjetta6]

Yeah he moved his body forward for the wheel wells to match and cut 1 1/2 off the rear frame

Are these bodies polycarbonate (Lexan) or some junk plastic like ABS?
