Oh nice that does look like a good fit. Are you going to run it with the fenders? Curious to see the fit with those and how much trimming on them will be needed.

I actually took the inner fenders off for now and running regularly shock hoops. Did want to cut them just yet.

Finally got done with the body. Got the inspiration on color from Screamer. I love the color but this was by far my worst paint job I have done yet. The window masking didn’t agree with the pearl paint and seeped through. Had to enlarge the black window surrounds. Also laid the pearl on too thick in spots and had runs. Oh well, I have another on the way. Anyways, here you go.

I think you mentioned the body was the one for 12.8 wheelbase. Did you set up your kit for 12.8 or shorter?

I used the 12.8 Incision links. I have plenty of 12.3 rigs so wanted to see how the longer wheelbase crawled. I really love how the body fits on the 12.8. I think with good body placement and maybe 4.7 or smaller tires this body would be fine with the 12.3. I would say give it a shot.

Finally got it out on the rocks today with @Screamer. Good time and the Trx4 surprised me. It made a few lines I thought it would never make. New servo is next up for this rig!

Old thread but I’m considering the same body. Did you ever put the inner fenders back on?
