How is it going? I'm fairly new to the hobby and just bought an Arrma Outcast 4s. I'm looking to start working on a custom body for it. I thought this body was pretty cool https://jconcepts.net/jci-the-forge--crawler-body I understand that it's designed for a crawler but the dimensions are pretty similar to the outcast so wouldn't it fit just fine with a few adjustments? What do you all think?

It might fit, but be aware, most crawler bodies won't hold up to the abuse of a basher, such as your Outcast 4S unless you are very careful with it.
 
I mean crawlers tumble down rocks, so I'd say the bodies should be pretty durable. I just did a new rig with that body on it and can measure the thickness for you when I get home if you like. Then you can compare that to the thickness of the stock body for a strength comparison. The Forge body also has bracing where the bed and cab meet as well.

My biggest concern on a basher with this body would be the front area with the huge fender cutouts catching during a tumble.
