ST body
1 Attachment(s)
:DHi guys does any know what mods if any would be needed to mount the asgard ST body to the hammer?Body is advertised as being for the leopard.I thought the hammer,leopard,and marder have basically the same stock body mounts![sm=confused.gif]I would hate to spend over a $100 bucks on a body and not be able to use it[&o]A
Anyone got any opinions:D After more research I see the marder has pretty much the same body mounts as the hammer,but the leopards are wider[X(]How can I get wider mounts on the hammer?Can the leopard body mounts be used on the hammer?If so can the leopard mounts be bought separately and where?:D |
RE: ST body

RE: ST body
Hey Man,
I just ordered that body and I plan on putting it onmy Marder. I talked to the owner and I was told it would fit with minimum modification. I ordered 2 long post that I'm going to mount next to the shock towers, however; you can use the one center post that would mount to the bulkhead brace. You can also go one step further and add side mounts, I plan on using the same method as on MT and MB and put caps to cover the other holes in the body which a standard leopard mount points. I'll post pics when I'm done, I'm hoping I get the body today. C-One |

RE: ST body
I installed the body last night, I have a monster metal bumper and drilled 2 holes and installed the long body post. I started painting the body and ran out of paint, I'll continue with the painting this evening. The ST wheel will fit perfectly, I have monster wheels and they're too big, I don't want to chop the body to make them fit so I'll probably get some new wheels. I have my Marder wheels on it now. But the monster wheels are awesome with that body. I'll decide once the body is painted. I don't think I can justify to my wife buying another set of wheels for $200.00 bucks, I already have 3 sets of FG monster wheels. You know what I mean?

Hey Frumpy.....There's no need for justification or otherwise!!!...But there is a need for a new set of wheels!!!...So just have wifey, buy you a new set, and don't worry bout the justification!!!....The fact that you'll have new wheels is justification enough!!!!!:D:):D:):D:) |

RE: ST body
:DHi hellya,after more research I think you're right;)Can these body mounts be bought? And do you know where I can get them?:D;)

RE: ST body
I've seen alot of people make their own extended side mounts or buy FG leopards side body mounts
Talk to chevymande he works for www.rc-car-online.de they sell everything you need or check with any of the FG dealers here in the states |
RE: ST body
:DHey crv,how's that ST body comming along?;)

Frumpy,
I installed the body, I originally put the Marder wheels and it didn't look right. So, I put my monster wheels back on and trimmed the body so that the tires would clear full left and right. I think it makes a world of difference. In fact I think it looks better than the MT and MB body on the chassis. I posted some picks, tell me what you think. Ops, my other baby got put in. C-One |
RE: ST body
:DHey cormierone,That body and tire combo looks great[sm=thumbup.gif]I especially like pic 2 and 3 it has that lo profile look.Nice other baby too;)How about one more request?Can you take some pics with the body off?I have a firehammerand would like to see your body mounts.I don't think mine will work.I think I need to do some mods[sm=confused.gif]

RE: ST body
Frumpy,
My camera batteries went dead, I'll post some pics with the body off probably tommorow. If the hammer has the same type of rear mount as the FG models then you're half way there. The front mounts are the long FG mounts and I also have the Elgon monster front bumpers which I drilled holes to attach the body in the front. Thanks for the compliments... like I said in the PM, I wish that the MT and MB bodies were that wide. The ST body and wheels do set it off, we have the same taste. C-One |

I thought the pic I sent in the PM was ok I guess I didn't get it right.[&o]I'll try here;)This is the pic of the trailer.What do ya think:) Look forward to those pics tommorrow[sm=thumbup.gif] |
RE: ST body
:Dcormierone,did you get yor camera to work yet.I put off buying the body until I can see some of those pics with the body off[&o]I think the rear body posts are the same ,need to check out how to do the front!The real question is the side post!I think the marder is wider than the hammer[sm=confused.gif]

Frumpy,
Here you go, when I spoke to the vendor he said that the long post could be attached to the front shock towers. If you look closely at the shock towers there are holes that the post could be attached with 3 or 4 mm screws and bolts. Since I had a front bumper it was easier to mount the body post that way. When I fitted the body I trimmed out the front side post so all I had was the rear. Just put your drill bit through the body holes and drill the holes through the black molding that's attached to the chassis. Here are the pics. C-One |
