DB02 (Leonis) body replacement

[JustGooners 8]

I am about the acquire a DB02 chassis for my upcoming project, but it lacks the original Leonis body. I just wonder if any of the DB01 body such as Baldre or Durga would fit?  Thanks!!

Not sure about the fit, but PlazaJapan has the Baldre body in stock. Shipping was reasonable to the US. Just FYI...

 

@Juls1 did an excellent build thread comparing these 2. You might find your answer in here:

Thank you! I did look at the thread before. I have also looked at the TRF502x replacement body as well, the fact that the DB02 motor/diff housing is a bit towards the front than the DB01 worries me a bit, I may have to try my luck a bit.

Annoyingly I havnt painted the db01 body (or even cut it out) so I can’t tell you if it’ll drop over the db02. I’ll have to try remember to compare on the weekend.

I’ll measure my TRF511 body width. The DB02 might be wider due to its battery arrangement.

Thanks, that's what I suspected. I may try to see if the TRF502x would be a better choice.

I never measured, I will tonight. The 502/511/503 all use the same body. Foot prints are the same as the OG 501.
