Thanks

ur gonna have to put some mt tires on that thing first. parma makes lots of body posts. check their things. also, you could always buy the mayhem st body mounts. that would probably be ur best bet. check horizonhobby.com for the body mounts.

You could take an old body of your buggy, paint it black and bolt the truck body onto it. That way you also have the protection of your car's internals that can only be given by a proper buggy body. I did that when I participated at a monster race and it looked great:

Well im not really looking to make it a truggy, I think the wheels make it look more scale... I mainly only need a body that wide and the mounting posts.

The person who posted the truggies above you races at a track that is not far from Scottsdale. They have a carpet indoor track, as well as an outdoor off road track that pretty much ONLY races 1/8 and MT/Truggy. Its called Hobby Action. They have a decent shop too.
