Recently purchased this. Been wanting a Pro for a while.

The chassis and running gear are in really great condition. The body, not in good condition but I thought it would be fine for a runner. Unfortunately the body was broken at the rear and would not reach the mount on the rear shock tower.




Rather than buy a different body or use this one and having it flop around I decided to extend the shock mount forward with a 3d printed part.

So I drew this up in solidworks:



Then to the lulzbot, here it is in Cura getting ready to print:



Now this:








I also put a Jconcepts protector on the bottom to save the chassis from more wear,,..

You could just use the 5 link suspension uprights for body mounts. You'd have two more and wouldn't need the rear mount. That's a nice improv fix though.

Good idea, I didn't think of that. If I come across those parts I may do it that way.
