A guy named, Troy, in the US is making the xx4 Cab-Forward body. The advantage of the body is a lot more space underneath. The motor can/solder tabs, steering servo/turnbuckle, & long bullet battery plugs tabs no longer touch the body! Plus, it just looks great
I found Troy on rctech forums, 2112Troy, & email him if you are interested in one of these bodies -

I like the Big Bores better than the kit shocks, because they make the car feels smoother over lots of small bumps(especially through turns), landings, and seems to recover on its wheels more after a crash. The car feels easier to drive fast!
The rear tower - This is my xx4 with a complete tlr22-mid rear suspension that I custom mounted on it. The new body just adds to the look. My other car is a stock xx4 WE(not in the pictures)
