I've been in contact with jonmiller about painting a bodyshell for my Macnum and it appears I can't buy them clear only pre-painted. I posted on here last year and someone told me a t4 shell would fit, anyone have any other suggestions? I'd like to keep it a truggy shell if possible.

The HPI Firestorm E-10 shell. Wheelspin and Modelsport UK usually have them in stock.

Here is one on my macnum...

You will have to drill new clip holes in the macnum's front mounts (orig run across body) but apart from that it fits quite well...

The Pro-Line crowed pleaser 2 might also fit..well it fits the Royal Flash...so might fit the Macnum.

EDIT: The Pro-line fits the macnum very well.. I'd say it's actually probably slightly a better design and fit for the Macnum then the Firestorm.

the t4 body shell is still a truggy
basically any 1/10th truck shell will fit i ran mine with a couple of different shells/makes
just had to reposition the front post holes at the front as most are the same on the rears
