The correct gearing for the Marder, Beetle and Stadium Truck is actually 18/46. 16/44 will not work together. The tires shown are the PMT tires mounted to the Marder Race wheels, so if you already have the wheels, then you only need tires. Or you can mount the actual Stadium Truck tires and wheels. You do need a few more parts than just the body to install onto the Marder or Beetle.

What bodyposts do you need for the front? And how would you mount the rear if you didn't want to use the rear wing?

Cheers

you may need the FG rear cage, or you may be able to mount the ST side posts on the current hammer cage. front posts are FG part number 7154 mounted in the stock tower , hammer may need some adjustment, look at the diagram of the FG Monster Beetle and see if a simlar mount may work.
