Correct. As long as there are headlights, its legal. No rules on shock tower coverage.

How many tracks/events outside of ROAR are regulating bodies? I mean.. Is it that big of an issue? I mean.. Is there a Stock 1/8th E-Truck class coming out that I didn't hear about?

How about questions with these 3 rows of camber link lengths. 3 locations for shocks on the arms.

This thing is going to have a million different variations!

I'd say asking the question about if there are places where the body could be a concern isn't a bad thing, especially as if a more traditional way to mount a common body that covers the towers isn't available right away, folks can post up to help others on how to do that. That at least would be my take, it also gives people the option (put it in the wiki) to know how to do that. More body options for sure can be helpful and all.


As for the location options for say the shocks for instance, assuming here that they logic still applies like what can be found in various setup guides out there since a variety of vehicles have that as an option. That said though, one item I am curious about is fitment of truggy length motors and other brand ESCs since those are bigger than the Tekin RX8.

Truck looks great as with Tekno 1/8s in general.

Is there any space to fit a longer motor and securely relocate the ESC?

What length of motor are you looking for?
The ET48 2.0 has the same amount of motor/esc space as the EB48 2.0.

My LHS / Track just got their shipment in yesterday. I am still undecided on if I will get one but I'm excited to see it in person and see how they run.

I was watching a video you can move the body mounts up and use other bodies.
