Body for B4.2 RTR

Post by Legio10 »

Dug out my sons B4.2 this weekend. Switched out the stock motor and electronic speed controller for an extra Novak combo I had sitting around. I would like to get a new body for this. Anyone have a line on bodies for this thing. The pre painted body is beat.
Am I correct in understanding the B4 and B4.1 bodies will work? Thanks in advance

yes, they still do work on your b4.

Ebay has been my best bet as of late since I can't find a whole lotta anything for what I ran in the past 8)

I have the older Intercepter body on my B4.1 Worlds Car, but starting with that car, the chassis was lengthened +8mm. You will have to trim a little extra in the front to get it to sit right.

Thanks for the replies. I’ve looked on eBay and the only thing I’m finding right now is some guy in the UK selling reproduction bodies. It’s winter so I have some time.

scratch what I said earlier. I swear I saw a b4 body on jconcepts site. but i just looked and it's not there. maybe a b5 body or bandit body would fit from them.

If you do get the repro body from the UK the quality is great. I've also got one of his B3 bodies.

Just snagged a JConcepts B4 body off eBay tonight. Like the lines of the Illuzion body compared to the standard body. Thinking a viper green with black fin and wheels.

I managed to score a B4 interceptor body and wing from gravesrc in Florida. Was only $14. Got the last one, so maybe until they get repro, checking older hobby shops that do cars might score us some.

Cool. At least you got one! Sometimes it's the hunt and sometimes they fall right into your lap with eBay.
