Not sure what your asking. I trimmed on the lines and punched holes where the dimples were and it dropped right on. No issues

Now, if I get the 2.0 rear shock tower and replace the 1.0, and cut the length to fit it, and use the 2.0 rear body mounts, will this work?

the Length is in the chassis and chassis alone...in reality you dont need the rear tower or the mount's as the geometry is the same as far as the body is concerned....trim to length then add the body holes and you'll be good to go.

Im Not a fan of the JC E body......i Much prefer the losi....the vent holes are a nightmare to cut out and they crack the first couple runs as its just how the body flexes and cracks through the cut-outs....Next would be the width of the body.....its too wide and literally you can rock the body back and forth.


PS Jim...you never sign my body's.

I have the race roller 2.0 setup on my 1.0. Between that and Drakes standard setup I prefur the race roller setup much more.

I got one of the jconcepts body's and so far its OK, I but would try a losi body out. The jconcepts I got doesn't have much time on it.
