What body for an LSII?

Post by Lonestar »

Hi Folks

I'm ready to place a sizeable (10-ish bodies) order with TBG. Among other things, I need a body for a Blue Eagle LSII, and I'm *thinking* (ouch, it hurts!!! :lol: ) that the Nitro Hawk would be a direct fit...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-TRAXXAS-NITRO-HAWK-TRUCK-BODY-/151145670599?pt=Radio_Control_Vehicles&hash=item2330fbe7c7

Can someone please con/in-firm this is/isn't the case?

Otherwise, what's the other "easily sourceable" solution that's closest to the original? I've lost track of the TRX truck body generations... thank you for your help :)

Paul

Edit: Pls keep all love/hate discussions about TBG, or the accuracy of his shells, or the 1/11th scale, blahblahblah, out of this thread... cheers guys :)

The LS2 had a smallish "extra cab" and was slightler narrower than a BE LS body. That said, it should fit, and fit well still. The narrower LS2 body allowed smaller wheel well cutouts which were a little nicer in appearance, and allowed less dirt kickup into the chassis.

The correct body for the LS-II is part number 2511. Same body as the SRT. Good luck finding one of those. :lol:

The Nitro Hawk and Blue Eagle LS both use part number 1912. That is the body that TBG is selling. Should fit fine considering the BE LS and LS-II were the same truck aside from the upper chassis deck/battery boxes. Shock towers, body mounts, and chassis were all the same, so the TBG body should be a perfect fit on the LS-II.

Also, any O.E.M. or aftermarket body for the electric Rustler will be pretty much a perfect fit.
