any tips on cutting the body
 

so i just bought a tf2 and a set of irocs that are way to big but i wanted a better tire compound and i know they work on the rocks around me so i was thinking about cutting the part where the front bumper mounts but i have never cut a body and was looking for some tips or tricks you all used

I just cut the valance off under the bumper. I also have 3mm spacers under my l eafs for a little extra lift. The rock stomped I run are still 1.55 but are larger that the stock mud thrashed. It would be hard to run a 1.9 with my set up.

They are the 1.55 interco iroc super swampers



Outer Diameter: 4.33" (109mm) Width: 1.72" (43.7mm) Inner Diameter: 1.55" (39mm) Advanced X3 Soft & Sticky Compound Reinforced sidewall Each tire weight: 3.25 oz / 92 g

As it sits now if the body is in the stock location I can't turn more than a bout an 1/4 inch or it hits the fender

You will definitely have to cut the lower valance off and probably add some kind of lift to it. Some go with a body lift but I'm not a fan of that. If you order the blocks to go under your leaf springs you can add up to a 6mm lift. You will lose some suspension flex the more blocks you add. I ran 6mm and lowered mine to 3mm to get more flex.

Thanks, I love the scale of these trucks... They are fun to run with...

Re: any tips on cutting the body
 

I have a scx10 and a wraith I got this from r the look and the simple fact that sometimes the trails suck around here and there is not much for the other trucks so if I'm out bumming around than I would run this and I am taking my time and making things for it like an interior unlike the other two lol

Well I cut the bottom balance of and just need to shave the gender flares down just a bit and than I'm good to go lol I think some of the scale freaks would have died of they saw how I cut it lol

Yeah we have a guy that runs those same tires on his tf2 and all he did is cut the front valance, and maybe shave a bit on the fenders
