just my opinion but that body is way too small for the chassis/wheelbase.

99% of bodies used on super based rigs don't fit.

the wheelbase is like 17.5" with 5" belly ground clearance. i dont really do comps but its fun just to work on it and play around. i want to do more comps but where i live theres not really supers. its pretty much me and my friend with them. he got me into crawling last year. it is my first time ever dealing with rc cars (i build 1:1 show trucks mostly) but its been a really awesome hobbie since i got into it, and way cheaper than workin on my show truck!

I've seen it in person. It looks terrible. LOL!!!! The body turned out great, especially since it was your first paint job. Can't wait for the GTG on Saturday.

im also not building a scaler. i wanted a really small body so it would be less chance of the body getting hung up on the rocks. same reason why alot of people run tubers. im just not a fan of tubers.
