The stand is good to work on the truck but not with the motor running, unless you set the thing on a small round table to walk around while wrenching

So I couldn't wait until I got a new body to run my ERBE. I decided to use my Baja Bug body but I wanted to use the rear wing so I cut the rear engine area of the body accordingly to fit over the wing mount and I kept the part I cut off (engine) and trimmed it to fit inside the wing mount. I used dabs of GOOP to hold it in place and it surprised me how strong it holds. It looks a bit better than to have just a big gaping hole back there. This body is so much tougher than the flimsy Lexan used on the original ERBE body. It's all scratched and dirty already

And the bigger the wheels, the better the truck looks with that body IMO.

i got hte bug body the day they came out for my revo.
soo cool, i also run a wing so i removed the engine area all together.
BE WARNED!! the rear body mount posts will pull through if you dont re-enforce it now!!

mine did this so i have fixed the problem with some roofing iorn

wow mistercrash, that list on the previous page is an impressive list of hop-ups and I'm sure I'll have fun this winter with copying some of your mods. My revo needs some attention because I haven't run it since I had my xt8 truggy, but it will keep me occupied this winter ;-)

I plan on reinforcing the area where the rear body posts stick out, you're the third or fourth person to suggest I do this so it must be a weak point. No I got the 3.3 extended version and yes it looks short because the ERevo is longer than the 3.3.
