I'm trying to get a C10 body on the Gorgon without cutting the body

Trying so hard to get this C10 body on the Gorgon without cutting the body. It's a nice looking body, I don't want to cut it.

What does that mean? This body looks so nice and I got it for 30 bucks.

I will make it work or buy another RC to fit it

The problem is the mounting holes. I got the MT body posts and it is close on the rear but about an inch off on the front. Way too low, though. The tires will hit. Trying to make some new body posts but I'm a newb even in Tinkercad.

Thats some dedication right there!
Buy a body then get an RC that fits it.

I like that!

From eyeballing..
I'd say an Outcast 4S should work!

I have looked at those but I am not good at painting (Yet!). Will those monster truck bodies fit the MT body posts without modification?

any that fit the Traxxas Stampede will fit on the gorgon dude. I have those same body posts and I have a Ford raptor SVT body on mine.

My painting skills aren't the greatest either but I won't worry as it will be getting bashed and not sitting on a shelf looking all pretty.

Thanks for the tips!

Here is mine with the bodyshell all lined up and I have shown the body posts I used in the second photo.

Do you have a number for what posts those are? I also got a different body post kit that looks similar but that looks like you have the monster truck posts with 8mm holes to fit other body posts?
