For the body, I like how a truggy looks BEEFY. Like there's some real meat to it. I also think a really slim body would be cool though, just because it could be different.
So, I have a simple suggestion. Make a narrow ET one, and then make a version of the air control guards and nerf bars that can be put on to match the nitro body if somebody would rather a larger look with almost no extra fat.

Stop by next time you're at the track, you can check it out. The arms came out great. We'll need to adjust the molds a little bit before production, but they are already made. The body will take a while.
We're not sure what we're going to do for the body. The chassis is so narrow and we'd prefer not to have a gap around the sides. So the body could end up looking really narrow as well. We'll have to see how it looks. My gut is telling me that we should make it narrow for performance and worry about the looks later. What do you guys think? Should it share with our NT48 or should it be a total alien star craft that performs like no other?

Actually I was going to ask you if it would be possible to run the same bodies from the nitros on the elecs? I think this would be a good idea as well.

Danny,
You know the Team Associated SC8.2e right? I'm wondering if the front and rear assemblies from the EB48 will mount up to the new ET48 chassis. Since these new rides have come to light I have all kinds of new projects I would like to get going.

Yes the front and rear clips of the buggy will bolt on to the truggy.

I'd love to see this class explode like eBuggy did recently (in large part to the EB48, which is commonly more than half the field). Then I could justify buying one instead of just wanting to have one.
