Great stuff! I've actually been thinking about what old-skool body to fit on my TeamC TM2... its just finding something that is deep enough to fit in the electrics etc & can be adjusted to fit around the chassis shape.... any ideas??

Looks amazing, I'm pretty sure you could sell few of those - option that isn't with so much forward cab

I hope so. Not a big fan of the cab forward nonsense.

Mmm.. I'm not so sure, those sloping sides would probably foul the motor & battery, Pacman mentioned the ProCat (not sure if that was in reference to my question?) But that shell does have nice deep side pods which might work? I should have asked Steve Haskins (Penguin Bodyshells) if I could test fit the shell off the ProCat that he brought along to Hinckley last Saturday

Wow! Nice idea!

I guess the top force wouldnt fit, that body is by far to special and one of a kind to fit another chassi.
