Default Body for extended 2400kv rustler.

Hey guys, i put an FLM extended chassis on my rustler and now since it is longer, the body obviously won't fit anymore. So would anyone have to know of any bodies that would fit? Would either of these bodies fit? Body1 And Body2. Thanks!

The AE T4.1 body won't work, the T4.1 wheelbase is actually about 1/4" shorter than a stock Rustler. The 1/8 buggy body wheelbase should be similar to your extended Rustler and chassis width should be similar as well.

If you find something you like look for dimensions. If the dimensions are not listed on the manufacturers site try towerhobbies or other sites as they'll often list the dimensions

Thanks for that info! Would you happen to have any suggestions on bodies that i should take a look at? I'm on the search now!

Tmaxx/Revo 2.5 bodies are about the right length and wheelbase. I'm not sure what the exact wheelbase of your FLM Rustler is so double check measurements. The problem is that they are a bit too wide and the front fenders need to be trimmed for tire clearance. The front wheels of a Rustler move to the rear, shortening the wheelbase when the suspension is compressed, so the rear of the fenders needs to be trimmed. I did it once when I needed a body for my custom extended Rustler and I had a Tmaxx 2.5 body laying around.
