I have a Thunder Tiger EK4, with the body that came on it. I really want to get a new body, and have it painted, but I want the body to look like it fits the truck. I have duel wheels all around, and I have tried to put a picture of it up, but to upload it, it has to be smaller. I have tried to resize it, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have pics of their bodys that they used , other than the stock body, or is that about the only one that will fit. Thanks.

The problem is the rear body posts are too far apart width wise. I drilled holes for rear body posts in an inch or so on each side then used sheers to cut the wide ends off the body mount. I used a Pro-Line F-350 body and it fit fine.

That might be fine, but my rear posts are aluminum. I have alot of MSJ hopups on it. Do you have a number for the body? Thanks

If you search for "Pro-Line Maxx Extended Chassis F-350 T/E-Maxx Body " on towerhobbies.com you will see the body I used.

Thank you. I will do that. I also have the big red soup can for the cooling head. Do you think there is a problem with cutting the hole for that?
