RE: Robitronic Mantis official topic
It's a measurement thing with the body....that's all: so find one close to the stock specs and you'll be fine. The length is more critical than the other measurements since there isn't much room to spare before you're hitting either the front bumper or rear wing assembly. If you get a body that's too long you'll have to do some trimming which may end up looking really tacky.
The SHIFT body I've mentioned for the MBX6T fits perfectly without trimming. [8D] I believe that the BULLDOG body for the MBX6T is a bit too long, if I remember correctly, and would either rub or require some trimming (though not too extensive). You can always compare the measurements.
[size=3]Here's the measurements of the Mantis body:
Length: 17" (432mm)
Width: 8.2" (208mm) in front of rear wheels (widest point)
Width: 6.1" (155mm) in front of front wheels (thinnest point)
Height: 4.2" (106mm)
