Will this body fit my 'Pede?

I think if I take the rear body posts off my 'Pede, the center body post on the shock tower looks like it would fit the T4 body nicely. Also, I have an old T3 body and it looks almost the same as this T4, but I haven't tried fitting it on my 'Pede yet. Gonna go try it in a second. If my old T3 body will fit, would this T4 body fit also? Just wondering. Thanks for any help.

I was looking at the same body, except blue. anyway I ended up getting a HPI body and it is the same type, stadium truck. I got the body mounts for the rustler at my LHS and lowered the rear by one hole, installed the front rustler kit with the taller body pins and it worked fine.
Go to the picture thread and you will see it there, I posted pics today:cool:

Cool, thanks katfish317!

With some modified mounts, it probably would... I have a Rustler body on my brother's Stampede. Looks pretty cool IMO.

Thanks. So all I will need is the front rustler body posts?

Edit: I might be able to use my T3 body posts. I haven't checked to see yet.

Ya, I saw that one, and your blue/white one. I like those paint jobs. They look more like race trucks, which is good IMO.

Nope... The one I'm talking about is white to red.

I used the 'Pede fronts and rears... Just modified them a bit. I shortened the fronts (cut them off, shortened them, and put a screw through the bottom) and the rears aren't as wide anymore.

Ohh. Ok then. That sounds doable. Thanks.

Yeah, that does look pretty cool, I've been thinking about getting an stadium truck body when my stock one is totally trashed, but we'll see when the time comes.

Here are a few more... I only have small ones since my bigger ones aren't watermarked it looks like...

Looks good cooleo. I'm going to try to rig my body posts like that. Hopefully I'm successful. :unsure:

[cooleocool]

I'll have to get some good pictures of the body posts some day. I have some from when the body was still clear, but they're not watermarked and I don't post unmarked pictures anymore, or at least for the most part. Just recently our Arctic Cat Prowler ended up on eBay and it wasn't us who was selling it :fear:.

Wow. That's messed up.:eek: :eek: :eek: But anyway, yeah, just whenever you get the time I'd appreciate it. I'm not in a big hurry. :D

[cooleocool]

I'll make a sticky note for it (I don't know what I'd do with out my sticky notes :))... If we don't head north this weekend, I'll get them watermarked and up for ya'. If we do go... It'll be a bit...

[HobbyGoblin]

No prob bro. Thanks.

It doesn't look like I shortened these much, but there are screws on the bottom, so I must have taking some height out.

That's a pretty neat idea. Thanks Tom.

If you use the rustler kit as I did yo get the same setup. The front mount actually moves back and it has two different height mounts for the front that you can install. Either way we will get you up and running and looking sharp!

yea i will fit if i doent force it

Ok. So, I need Rustler front and rear body mounts? That'll be on my next order when I go brushless this coming Spring if I don't bust out the dremel and do it Tom's way.:p I can't wait until Springtime!

Dude... hogan... STOP SPAMMING!

Now that I've got that off my chest... You would only need Rustler front mounts since it uses that mount that is built into the rear tower. I used the 'Pede mounts and modified them so I could get more height.
