Default New Mugen Eco/Help

Can someone recommend a body that won't conflict with wires, and can you recommend a good custom body painter?

Thank you

It fits, but the wires from motor to the speed controller are touching the back of the body. I'm afraid that time will start to ware of the paint quicker than maybe with a higher body in the rear. Not sure, new to the electric field.

I just put the motor and speed controller on yesterday.

Thanks for everyones help

Get some of that silver tape everyone lines their nitro bodies with, that will stop it going through too quick...

I had a kyosho mp9 tki 2 wc, it was pretty high maintenence. I'm a need freak when it come to running my cars. I clean them every time I use them. You have very little hole when it come to electric buggies. I would think you don't need to clean or it wouldn't take as long to clean them up after run. I have mostly been doing 10th scale on road, and it got to boring. I just started 8th scale buggy 4 mo. ago and came in second on qualify, but I broke on the main. That sucks. With this buggy, I hope that I will do better. I know it with have the torque when I need it.

You guys have been very helpful and I thank you. I have been talking with Larry about a body from KUSTOMRCGRAPHICS. Can't wait to start one up!
Supposed to be racing to tomarrow with my new eco, wish me luck. Haven't practiced with it yet
