Alan P 0 Posted June 20, 2011 I've just picked up a very battered Hornet and the orignal body is toast, just wondered if there were any other buggy bodys that would fit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich T UK 9 Posted June 20, 2011 2 for starters: Grasshopper (with small mods) and Fire dragon (was originally sold as an alternatrive hornet shell). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stu22 12 Posted June 20, 2011 Parma also makes a lexan version of the Grasshopper body that should work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FERRETTI 0 Posted June 20, 2011 MrLexan does a lovely Parma Stinger, I used to run one on my Hornet BITD, definitely worth checking out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markbt73 5316 Posted June 20, 2011 The HPI muscle car bodies fit really well, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caddyshack @ the chop shop 0 Posted June 20, 2011 Hi you could allways use a kamtec vw baja shell or a rere scorcher or m/beetle shell & do a scorcher / baja l@@k a like craig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyser Soze 0 Posted June 21, 2011 2 for starters: Grasshopper (with small mods) and Fire dragon (was originally sold as an alternatrive hornet shell). Well to be correct I think it is the "SUPER Dragon" body you are talking about But I really don't know if even the Fire Dragon body will fit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeetleLover 4 Posted June 21, 2011 Pretty sure both the fire dragon and Super Dragon will fit the Hornet I even have a feeling that the Thunder Dragon will too. The Saint Dragon body instructions also show how to cut it to fit the Hornet also... Plenty of Options! James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr crispy 2293 Posted June 21, 2011 Hi you could allways use a kamtec vw baja shell or a rere scorcher or m/beetle shell & do a scorcher / baja l@@k a like craig Like this Kamtec Baja Beetle shell If you can fabricate some simple body mounts almost anything can be made to fit, its a good chassis to work on.

jubaluba 0 Posted June 24, 2011 I saw a picture of a Hornet with a Fire Dragon body once. I think it looked quite good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TA-Mark 195 Posted June 25, 2011 One body that has not been mentioned and is a direct fit is the AYK Roadrunner II body. Hard plastic polystyrene like the Grasshopper body. It's almost like a cross between the Hornet and Grasshopper in looks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr crispy 2293 Posted July 3, 2011 I also found out this weekend that the Brat polycarb body fits the Hornet/Grasshopper wheelbase perfectly, presumably the hard plastic body does too. Just a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
