As far as I know this is the 1st V1 Kraton to V2 Outcast body swap.

Parts needed: ( sourced at JennysRC)
Shipping not listed in pricing:

-V2 Outcast 4s body. 58.00
-V2 Outcast bumpers kit 7.50
-V2 Outcast wing kit. 20.00 (includes wheelie bar and wing and hardware) HH wing alone is 12.00 + shipping
-V3 K6 front body posts ( 10.00)?? Sorry no PN yet
-4 screws for rear post mount mod(5/8" long)
Projected cost with shipping: ~110.00

Modifications:

-Swap bumpers and remove K4 wheelie bar ( if desired) At minimum swap the front bumper.
-Clearance rear wheel opening for shock travel ( see illustration)
-Swap wing and OC wheelie bar
-Mod rear posts by drilling 4 holes through the posts and attach K6 body mounts with 5/8" fasteners
-Flip front body mount and adjust post height to clear bumper.
- Adjust modified rear posts as desired. The mod does put the posts all the way foward in the rear body slot. If you want, shave the flat edge back (shorten the K6 post width) and the body will drop right on.

Pics 9-11 are with a V2 OC slider for comparison. Other than rear shock location there's not much difference
.

Last pic is a LWB BRCC. With hub extensions this may be compatible using the V1 OC or K4 rear body mount and posts.

(In the 1st two pics below I flipped both body mounts, however the rear was a little high at its lowest setting, so I reinstalled it as it originally was intended. This allowed me to level the body. It may still be leveled when flipped if you raise the front posts 1 hole. This will allow some space to cover the top of the rear tower with foam if desired. Either way there is still adjustability in the posts to raise the body.)

The rear post mount was flipped here below.

Very Nice & straight forward conversion.
So glad you were able to figured out the Rear body mount solution.

Good job buddy đź‘Ť
 
For Shts and giggles I threw this on my BRCC. Using my modified rear post mounts and some hub extensions I think this will fit on a Big Rock. The Granite wheels almost clear at full compression.
