Best fitting body on Tekin chassis?

Post by JOHNBOY74 »

So I am finally getting closer to completing my Tekin conversion RC10 and cant seem to find a good body that fits well. Any suggestions or pictures of bodies on the old Tekin chassis? I went with the black and gold theme.

Hi there, nice one!
I know, not the easiest thing getting a good body fit for this platform. Best result I've managed is using the Viper body (AE #6121). I left about 3mm of lexan below the lover cutting line to get the required section height over the rear shock tower. All in all a good body fit and for me it is also important that it is period correct for this conversion kit. Best of luck on a very cool project!

Can't help with the body - but I like the build! :)
