I'm going to be sponsoring a young racer and was wondering what the HOT body was for his E-Maxx?
I'm leaning toward the HPI muscle cars, but was wondering if there was a particular body that all the racers had or desired.

Maybe you have already, but you should post that question on the MT and racing forums.
I'd love to help, but I'm just a basher. I would think most MT owners would just go for what they think is cool, but you know racers, a different breed.
It's usually the newest and latest bodies out.

My choice is true. After all, It's my paint and my money. All he's doing is driving the truck (and taking car of it and..)
I wonder if I can get a Porsche body to fit the e-maxx?

LOL! To fit, sure. To look good on it, well I guess that's a personal opinion. ;)

Yeah the Cayenne body should fit with tall rear posts without much drama.
Hot bodies for racing now are the Illuzions bodies from Jconcepts or the Pro Line CP2.0.

they will paint the body and send it out to you as well if you purchase it through them and want to get two birds with one stone.
uber high race slick bodies.

Ahhh, now I know the name. Well, being that I'll be advertising my paint business on the body, I think it'll be better if I paint it myself. :)
Maybe the I'll probably buy a Cayenne and a CP. We'll see what I like the look of better. Being that most of my Tee shirt and Helmet orders come from other Porsche owners, the Porsche body would be best. Who make's the Cayenne body; just HPI?

yeah HPI is the only one i know of...it is designed around 200mm touring car dimensions but seems to go on pretty well to the Sav/Maxx trucks. can;t hurt to try it out.
it looks like Bavaria meets the outback on an MT :D
it will definatly attract attention thats for sure, and you mentioned your customer base so the cross promotion will be undeniable. keep the Cayenne loud and sleek and you should be set!
make the CP something that you wont mind being torn up.

the crowd pleazer, f-350, f-150 or the silverado are the best for aerodynamics i think. i don't see much from hpi that looks like it would be neutrally handling
