The body is pretty low but it does make getting to the pull start a pain on my build. You can see where the pull start is just bareley not reachable when the body is on.
Zoomed in picture of the issue.
On the body that ships with the kit the cut out for the section where the pullstart is is angled. The stock Losi picture shows the cut out is more square.

Solutions:
Cut the body so that you have easy access to the pullstart.
Or
Use 1 to 2 inches of muffler tubing to extend the pull start . Anything more than that and the pull start will be sticking up past the top of the spark plug protecto but I don't have any pictures of it. The pullstart I had on that motor finally died and I'm going to end up cutting the body anyway. Booster pipe from Detroit Performance makes contact with the body in a few places and it melted.
I don't think the bart pipe sits as high on the chassis as the Booster pipe. Probably wont have that issue..or some heat resistant tape if/where the pipe contacts the body might work.
