Bodies, TBII?

[ICONIC]

Anyone tried to fit a FG Beetle shell or similar on TBII? Also wonder when/if Nutech are going to release unpainted shells?

I put an FG beetle body on my Nutech MT, just had to mod the rear mount.

Looking great!!! How much difference is there between the MT and the TBII?

Gas Jockey, that looks great indeed. Since the stinger of your pipe comes out on the front wheel well, do you notice the body gets dirty quicker in that area?

I'll have my tb2 here maybe this week, probably next. I'll try my marder beetle shell on. sickboy has some cool wider buggy bodies too I am looking at

I know the shock towers are different part numbers from the MT to TB2 so I don't think the MT body mounts will fit the TB2. The MT has longer a-arms and larger shocks but for the most part is the same platform as the TB2.

It's wet this time of year where I am so it gets absolutely covered in muck when I run it, if you mean exhaust goop, no it's not bad.

Scott how did you get the ramp front bumper to fit?

Aah.. Ok! haven't even thought of the MT until now. But if the MT got longer arms it could look real cool with normal sized wheels? I was thinking of getting me a wide, fat and low truggy beetle?!?

I just sold my Baja Clone and was thinking of spend my money on Nutech instead... Seems like real quality!

There's a truck called the fuego 5t. It's an mt with smaller wheels and a "t" style body. Check it out at the nutech website.

Yeah, i meant exhaust goop. Glad to hear it's not too bad.. That pipe must make some serious power.

A little carving with the dremel and kinda forced the screws in, it didn't last long though, I have the Smartech Titan bumpers and braces coming with my order.

The pipe is actually a Warehouse hobbies boat pipe, it works pretty good too, they are in your state as well, Lake Placid. ICONIC Here is short vid of it set up in Fuego 5T trim ( MT with buggy wheels)

Kewl good to know. I've been meaning to contact you about a Mega MT. Need to decide what to do with my three tank old ramp v2...

Nice way to make use of a boat pipe. You have a nice place to run. Wish we had a place like that around here.

Roccos, between pre-orders and dealer orders you might want to make up your mind soon lol! Let me know if you want your name on one.

Those look nice, what are they made out of and are they expensive?
