Plasma Edge 2.....what could I convert it to?

[BeetlaJuice 9]

Hi guys thinking of buying a plasma edge 2. I’m wondering which other body shells could fit it? Has anyone made a Baja Bug from one of these?

I haven't done so, but based on a quick side by side comparison of my Kamtec-bodied Monster Beetle and my TT-02B, I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

Loving the black bug, the wheel base looks like a good match for the TT02B the big wheels would give it a bit more ground clearance too. Thanks 👌🏾

@BeetlaJuice I tried something similar-ish a while back:
 

 

I found the tamiya monster beetle shell a bit too tight to fit. I used a kamtec Baja bug shell. Was v good fun having a go at this

Where do those wheels come from, did you use elongated axles...do they effect the front wheel arches/ reduced turning circle?

Hello mate, details on my thread but here is the specific answer:

Wheel: Tamiya 58589 Toyota Land Cruiser 40 P/Up/GF01, 9333120/19333120 Wheel Bag   (sourced from Tony's Tamiya Parts)

Tyre:  Tamiya V-Tread Block Tires (75/47) 2Pcs For NDF01 GF01 #53854   (sourced from RC Mart)

 

think I used the standard axles from memory. Hope this helps!
