convert MT5 to monster beetle

[james22ca]

I am looking to convert my Monster truck to a beetle body.
Other than the body/wing what will i need.

Also, I have the Samba monster pipe, will it still work with a beetle body?

Body Post

:scooter: HI james22ca, I think all you need to do is change the body post. You can ask Troy at www.largescalerc.com . He would know, also a great place to do buy from!:clap: .

Hey james I just did mine and here's what I did.Move the long front mounts to the top of the roll cage.I was told to put shorter mounts in the front but the hole pattern wouldn't line up so I cut down a long post and mounted it in the center.Also had to put a new hole in the side of the body.Simple mods but well worth the look over the MT body IMO.

Thats great easy mod. Did you just buy a front mount set and modify it from the looks? What holds the front down?

In the 3rd pic you can see the shortened body mount I made from long one.That's what holds the front down:cool2:
