That B2 body fits really nice...especially if you're using the 10T noseplate. Perfect narrow front.

bandit body, just put it on. had it on my TRX-1. the original rear marked dimple from the factory fits the rpm tower perfect, and the body sits very low, almost past the chassis so you could trim it. i don't know... :roll:

oh yeah this is a first look at my RPM car. 8) I have a bunch of stuff for these cars if anyone has a left side bellcrank I need one, RPM sent me a sealed package of two rights... :?
thanks :mrgreen:

i didnt know you were talking the composite craft worlds.

in that case i say just use a protech. they flare out just enough in all the right spots to cover the sides of the chassis. its a little tight at the front right behind the steering where the chassis begins to flare out, but the body covers it there too.

That does look good Hoopty. the thing about the Composite craft chassi compared to the RPM one is that it's really wide for no reason. I got a B2 body I'll try and if that doesn't work, I have 3 vipers I can go with

i know it sounds strange but the more i look at the bandit body on my car the better it looks... maybe its better in person. this body wouldn't work on the composite craft though

So I dropped by the hobby shop and picked up these vintage beauties.

Before I go slicing and dice, what do you think is going to fit best?
