Proline TT

so does the body fit over the tumour or did you have to cut it?

I had already trimmed an inch or so off the bottom edges when I trimmed the wheel wells,so It almost sits on the pipe. The bottom edge bows out a little. I added some foil tape to the inside to keep it from melting.

what's the best way to prep a body so the paint will stick well? I have painted a couple, but the paint chips or starts cracking and can fall off in tiny chunks.

dish soap. don't USE WINDEX.and make sure your hands are super clean when masking off. do you do an overcoat? that will help but mainly the type of paints used are the best prevention.. i use fastcolor

More pictures were requested, so I'll put them here for everyone to see.


The question was "How much did I trim for the TGN pipe"


I stated earlier that I trimmed about an inch off both side and some from the wheel wells.


The body still hits the pipe. I'll just wait and see what happens.

if you give your truck some chemotherapy and ixne the TGN and get a DOM you wouldn't have to trim your new body.


Just messing with you


It looks great Keep up with the mods

I'll stick with the pipe. Bodies come and go! I have both side and rear Doms (Although they are not modded for the redcat) I feel the sound and performance of the TGN is better, so I'll have to live with the body dilemma.

That looks really nice kun

kun what body mounts did you use the stock one or the ones that came with the body, im getting the body on friday

 

[kun114]

I used the Redcat mounts. I started with the TT, so I had to add the mounts to the front shock tower. Then I used the wing mount for the rear. You can use the stock rear mounts, but you'll have to cut them a little since they line up with an angled part of the body. I think using the wing mount is the best option, but the down fall is you can't use a rear MT bumper at the same time.

can you post a pic of it with out the body

Do you have the MT or the TT?

my body arrived today, looks awesome...now to figure out a paint scheme. The rear mounts need a bit off modding to fit but the front will be fine. A little trimming front and rear arches and good to go. It'll need a silicon exhaust elbow on the 77 dom stinger to deflect exhaust away from the body.

ic got the tt i just have to cut out the front wheel openings cant wait to get it cut and painted

 

[chucked]

badd maxx's body is gonna look sweet!!! I ordered one, but they are out of stock everywhere.

 

[mooman007uk]
