That looks really cool. Did you have to do anything special to get that Summit body to fit? I personally don't care for the Outcast body. I'd totally prever the Kraton or anything else.

Yes ,drilled 4 holes in the rear shock tower to relocate the body posts.Turned the body pins.Drilled new holes in the body and exo cage.Fun stuff really.

Plus cutting a giant chunk of the rear to allow the body 2 tuck under the spoiler. And letting the body slide back enough to center the wheel wells on the wheels. Like servo killer said lots of fun but you can' beat the look imo.

I had one of those but sold it with the MBX6 I had.Regretting it now.Cool body.
Yes, really like it. Gutted I can't seem to find another one in stock anywhere. It's still in pretty good shape at the moment. Had to remove the centre roll cage to fit it but the body has still proved tough enough to take landings on the roof. Hopefully proline might do another run of them for the Mbx7tr in the future which I'm guessing would still work fine.
On the Outcast, I have a VW buggy body made for a Traxxas T-maxx. The best part about it is that it comes fully painted, with multiple sets of decals and shipped for 25 bucks.
I had to ream out my own body holes and also cut out the back but it's alright.
When I was into Tamiya, I had always wanted the Beetle Blitzer; and now it's like I have the 1/8 6s version of it. Love it.

Anyone try using the Ram 1500 body that's out there? i'd like to make my Kraton match my truck.

The proline ram 1500 will fit had it on the outcast took alot of modification cause of the short wheelbase. But I rested it on the kraton and it looked like a easy fit just post extenders and should drop right on. When I had it on the outcast tho it took me cutting most of the back section out to fit it under the wing in order to get the wheelwell and the wheels aligned properly but if you were to put it on a kraton shouldn' b that bad at all.

I used the EMaxx or maybe it was the XMaxx body posts too. With the screw down body retainers. I'll never look back on the days of losing the body pins.
Then finished it off with the Grave Digger by Parma
