Scorcher body on TT-01 chassis?

[Parkypig]

Hi all, has anyone or is it even possible, to mount a Scorcher body on a tt01 chassis with only slight modifications? Body mounts being a starting point... 

 

Cheers

You should be able to set a TT01 to 251mm, which is roughly the right wheelbase for a Scorcher shell.

You will have either to do quite a bit of custom body mount work to mount it, put holes into the shell (which I don't reccomend), or buy a lexan reproduction shell which will be much easier to work with.

I used a lexan shell when I made my baja bug Frog, it's very similar to a Scorcher/Blitz/Monster shell, just cheaper and easier to mount.

Cheers buddy, car looks great..  yeah I think from memory the wheelbase is 257mm, I'll have to play about.  I have a magnetic post set up on it currently, failing that it becomes a shelf queen.. 😎

This guy's done one at the 251mm wheelbase:

Thanl you, magnetic posts should be fine, admittedly I have little experience with them.
