Hi guys I've bought a sportline 04 cat truck I was wondering if anyone has or can put a car shell on it I have touring car wheels but haven't tried them yet I guess you would have to add the bracket for a car to the shock tower + if it can what size shell fits the chassis ie long medium or short wheel base thx guys

you can put a touring car body on it aslong as you get one with the right wheelebase.
you do have to cahange the gearing on the car.
the trucks have large wheeles en therefor a lower gearing.
 
I have the Atego truck and a car. both are 535mm wb. the truck uses a 20 tooth pinion, 22 on the car. bodies are basically interchangeable aside from front and rear mounting locations. any 535 reg width body fits. the truck gets the extra width from the wheel offset.

I just got a second car so I could leave the semi as a semi hehe. Now to build the car trailer for it...

Thx for that m8 I'm goner look about for a cheap shell
 
np. this truck has been a long project. I started with a chassis, body and motor and pieced it together. it would have been cheaper to buy new but it's sure been fun... and I have found the semi has diplomatic immunity. I had the mt out ripping it up in a construction area and a cop stopped by as I was coming back to the car... doing his job reminding me it was private property... so I pulled the semi out of the back seat and his eyes went big and asked me the usual how much, how fast ... a semi going by tapped the horn, and he made a joke and drove away...
here at the co op, the nitros caused grief but even the seniors think the semi is too cool lol. I love this truck... wait until you push a corner hard enough to tip over, we all laughed last weekend when I did that.. always loved the euro circuit trucks.

good luck with the build. I've bought enough wrong parts to have a good supply for my other rides so if you have any questions, I have a pretty good handle on part numbers for these things now
 
I too have gotten out of a bad situation when the Torrance cop stopped me on privet property, I was testing out my new fg rig. He wasnt impressed so I pulled out the mcd baja started it up and handed him the control he was grinning ear to ear. gave him buisnes card of my buddys HS now hes a converted LS basher. Gotta preach the word of large scale bashing
