I don't think he meant he was using the mugen side guards. Just saying that the arm guards are sold with the side guards. I doubt very much that the mugen side guards would fit on a losi.

Anyone tried the Punisher or the Bulldog yet? The Jconcepts felt a bit thinner than the Proline but both are much thinner than the Losi i think.

Yes I was just running the rear arm mud guards. You can see them in the pic below. The chassis side guards do not fit. And JAMMINKRAZY you are correct they come as a package.



Heres a couple more shots.

I have been running the Bulldog 8ight T 2.0 body for a month now. Body is pretty thick with no thin spots. Body is showing no signs of cracks or damage. Only minor problem is the Losi fuel tank lid puller is a little long, I still use it but I cut the "wedge" underneath it that prevents the pull from opening on a lid slide. I have not had a problem though. Looks bad ass in person.

I have been running the JConcepts body for a few months now and love it. The body is plenty thick and shows no signs of cracking and I think the body lines look better than the Losi. The best thing is you can get it cheaper than the stock one.

i've noticed that the punisher body sits alittle futher away from the mud guards cause more dirt to get on the car itself. my truck stays much cleaner with the stock body. other wise the body is good.

Damm I love multi spoke rims but PERSONALLY i'm not a fan of the J concepts body because of the helicopter landing pad ontop. I think it needs the fins down the middle to break it up.

Thanks for the input guys.As you can see i am running an "E" and since it is indoor clay dirt is not really a problem. I honestly like the stock body shape best of all, just wish it didnt have the holes cut. Plus it weighs a ton!

Ended up picking up a Bulldog. Just didnt like the lines of the Jconcepts. Picked up some Purple and White springs as well to play with. I still dont see how a nitr set up spring wize could work with an electric. Not only is it heaver but the weight transfer is so much more dramatic with the instant power and brakes. Hopefully it works!
