Other bodies that fit backdraft 8e
Looking to see if anyone here has tried on different manufacturers bodies on there backdraft 8e to see if they fit. I ordered a Xray 808e and an Ofna Ultra body to see if they will fit. I talked tot he place i bought them and they have the same with as the side of the chassis and seem to have a good length and plenty of room inside for electronics.
Anyone try to fit another body to theres, if so what chassis was it from.

Off to ebay they go. One with some work could fit but not worth the hassle, and you would have some spaces that stuff could get in. Hada kid up there with a losi eight 2.0 electric there and the body fit almost perfect. They got me one ordered and will play with that one later tonight. Got lucky that the LHS warehouse is only 3 hours away. So they have it on the order coming in tonight. Should have some fun with this tonight. Will post conclusion to my ventures.

Yea I went to my LHS and test fit a Losi 8 body a bit wide in the front, also my body mounts are just problematic and keep loosening and breaking off I am trying to think of a better soloution.

Seen that, hence why i went with the Ve8 body basic same design as hpi and hot bodies are pretty much the same company. The ve8 body is a little more streamline they also have jconcepts for the ve8.

Update with pics, I went and got me a jconcept Ve8 body same as the hot bodies just a different look. Its the high flow version jconcepts number is 0100. No fitment issues really. I did copy the cut out up front on the right side to the left. This way when painted it will look even.

Forgot one of the best pics. The front little nose piece.
Painted ones to follow this weekend. 5 colors and hopefully a good design.

Like the colors. Mine is going with Parma Key lime green metallic, silver, white, black and with a few neon green hints. Skulls, and a spash designwill layout and take some nice pics of the body during the process, if i had a camcorder probably would tape it for you all. No stickers other than one Jconcepts to promote the body. Going to get a full vinyl with products and sponser who will cut the vinyl to cover the body of chassis. Got him making me several since ill tear them up instead of majordamage to the bottom pan of chassis.
Now if my parma order would show up, i could actually get started.

Formula87 have you had any issues with that body with the rear suspension on lading and rubbing the tires.
Have not run it yet rain last couple days............. But I may be swapping the thing back to the Earthquake and selling it all to a friend and keeping the body but looks like it should clear all susp and tires with no problems..........

RE: Other bodies that fit backdraft 8e
few pics as the body is coming along. Took me almost 7 hours to mask and tape off all my sections for colors. Painting and peeling a section to expose the next section. Have a few items i didnt put on till after a few of the colors were down. Still a long way to go still.
Colors used so far. Keylime Green, Faspearl flaming orange, satin silver, white, black, and a few drops of brown for the skull tinting. I dont have that photo up yet as did that last night before i passed out. Will get this finished off tonight and will hopefully have the completed photos up for you all this evening.
