Can someone please confirm based on experience if the FTW XB9 body that works with the NB is part number FTW00033 or FTW00048 (2013 spec XB9). Some post back it was mentioned that the FTW00033, worked better than the 808 body, but I would prefer to go with the FTW00048 (for wider 2013 chassis) if it works as well. Thanks.

FTW did confirm that they are working on a NB specific body. FTW also advised that with the FTW00048 there would approx a 1/4" gap on both side guards. Personally I'm going to wait until FTW has a NB specific body available.

After checking with Tekno and FTW I can confirm that it is the FTW00033 body that works. However, Tekno did express that some pretty major body modification is required to make the throttle servo linkage work. Specifically Tekno mentioned that the body is not tall enough over the throttle servo and there are issues where it rubs/hits.

Got my FTW XB9 body in today and it fits just fine. No issues with the throttle servo since I am using a Mugen air filter. Was in hurry and cut out the engine hole that was designed for the XB9. If I was running my engine in the rear, then it would be perfect. But mine is forward and had to trim more to fit.
