Body for a stretched FG?

[J-Revo]

I'm playing around with the thought of buying a stretching kit for my FG, but at this point I have put on wait as I don't wont to re-use the standard MT body.
Anyone know of a pickup body that would fit with the stretching kit?

Will it be stretched enough to consider any of the Baja alternative bodies?

I don't even know what's out there as far as this option goes, for all i know I might need to make a new alu plate myself, but I have seen people on this forum stretching their fg, so there must be a kit out there I think.

Maybe a baja body would fit, but I'm looking for something like the original body, only longer.
I did have a FG street version one time, that had a dodge pickup body, maybe that would fit, but the tires wouldn't fit inside the wheel wells.

Prolines 5T body would looks really nice
What are the dimension for your stretched fg?

I don't have a stretched fg yet, but if I find a nice looking body, I might go for it.

I don't want to ask questions in his thread, but what about this MCD body, whats the dimentions on that : https://www.largescaleforums.com/showpost.php?p=122789&postcount=1

Its an FG body with a solid front end.

The blue one is a FG body
That won't do you mate but the proline 5t shell is bigger and may fit.

the hurrax yukon body is bigger but not by much, don't you think that bug would look good on it?

Just by looking at it you can tell there similar in size,would be best if you can get dimensions.

It's in fact a great deal bigger I see, here are the dimentions on the hurrax:
length 820mm
width 620mm
height 410mm
wheelbase (variable) from 558mm (standard) to 526mm

FG MT Dimentions:
•Length: 28.34inchs (720mm)
•Width: 20.07inchs (510mm)
•Height: 15.15inches (385mm)
•Wheelbase: 18.89inches (480mm)


Maybe that body would work, hehehe

I don't want to go back to a beetle body, haha, I had that on my old FG Beetle Offroad.

It's your call, i think the bug would look pretty lush :cup-3:

I think this project is a no go. I have the 4x4 kit and want to keep that. And I see that most people make the parts them self to make it longer.

Check out Alutec.de
They have stretched FG chassis.
