1/8 buggy body fit guide
 

lets start a guide of what 1/8 bodies will work on different chassis.
I think about this a lot and I think it would help out a lot of people if we were to collectivly pool information.
width is usually the biggest factor. most everything else can be trimmed to work

ill start with the few I know.

Body dimensions:
hot bodies Ve8 body is 5 1/2" wide
losi 8ight-E body is 7 3/4" at the front 5 1/2" wide at the rear but can be stretched a bit

chassis dimensions:
hot bodies ve8 chassis is 5 1/2" wode
hot bodies D8 chassis is 7 3/4" wide

Compatability:
losi 8ight bodies will fit all tekno V4 chassis
FTW tekno v4 body will fit a hot bodies Ve8 with a bit of velcro


a few specific ones I am looking for are widths of the associated RC8Be and kyosho MP9e

post em up!

good thread :)

FTW Exabyte for a MBX6 tekno v4 fits on a converted DNX408 too with few mods

The bulldog for the rc8.2e fit on my old Ofna Lx2e. It needs a bit of trimming though :)

anyone have dimensions of the durango buggy bodies?

looking for body widths of the following

Xray 808E
Kyosho MP9E
Associated RC8Be
Mugen mbx6
can owners measure your body shells please?

Just got a new proline bulldog for rc8.2e I think it is right at 7 3/4 at its widest point. I am actually using it on a older Xray XB8-EC that I converted to brushless. Fits perfect, onlly difference is the front area needs to be left a little long because the xrays front mount real close to the front tower.

The bullydog nitro rc8.2 fits the rc8be. It doesn't have much clearance for the batteries though.

Rc8.2 Bulldog fits all Caster Buggys and RC8T Bodies fits the Caster Truggy, you have to trim side guards down a tad if you want to keep them on.

FTW MBX6 body will fit Caster EX 1.5 with some custom trimming and trimmed down side guards.

Losi 8ight-E Stock body will fit a Tekno V4 VE8 with Velcro, of course.

*All these bodies may require mods and/or velcro

I was told in the Mp9 thread that the Rc8.2e body will fit the kyosho with roomfor batts. Just need to leave the nose on like you would the kyosho and trim to fit. If geta chance I will measure my Tki2

I have a jammin x1cr that I am converting to brushless. I've read that the body will not fit over the batteries once the conversion is complete. If this is true what body could I use?

Team associated RC8B bodies will fit the hot bodies D8 with little to no modifications. Im running one using only velcro, instead of the body posts.

Anything for the Mugen Eco?

I know a guy that runs a losi 8ight body on a mugen mbx6.
