Hpi mini trophy truck body on the twin hammers
 
I'm sure it's been asked before but it's to early to search but has anyone ever put the hoi mini trophy truck body on the twin hammers and if so how does it fit? I wanna convert mine into a trophy truck.

I've recently removed the body to run it w/ just the cage but mounting involved a small foam square and two existing screws. I only have to drill two small holes on the roof to mount the body. Didn't use the rear fender flares.

EDIT: I did do a significant amount to trimming the wheel arch for clearance as well.

Thanks. Front looks like it would fit now to figure if the rear would fit. I know I'd prob have to add stand offs or spacers for the rear section.

If you cut the rear flares down and do a dove tail style mount it may work, otherwise, the rear flares are too long. Would definitely need some sort of stand off mounting thingathing for it. I wanted to do it but I'm lazy.

In the process myself. Ivan body on a 2wd TH chassis. Waiting on Wraith length rear trailing arms, hoping WB will be pretty spot on.

The rear fenders of that Ivan body are separate from the cab. This make it easy to overlap them to make the wheelbase match your chassis.

I count myself lucky to have picked up the last two reasonably priced Ivan bodies I found. Seems the few remaining ones go for double to triple the original price.

I'm a huge Ivan Stewart and a T100 fan so I had to have them.

I have an old Losi trophy truck body that fits the Twin Hammers perfectly. I believe it was discontinued, sadly.
