Has anyone ever put an E-Revo body on a nitro revo? I love the way the Proline slipstream body looks! I want to fit one when I get my 3.3 chassis.
 
As long as the body mounts are the right distance apart, I don't see why you couldn't do this
 
You will have to cut a hole in it for the cooling head but other than that as long as the mounting holes line up it should fit.
 
The only other thing I could think of is the engine sticking up too high. I know I won't be able to use the role bar. So, I may have to figure out something else to protect the engine.

Zip - Straps... just make sure the locking part is on the top...
 
the only problem you will run into is because the body is so low to the chassis on the electric revo, most things on the 3.3 will hit the body. The engine will stick out A LOT!, and the fuel tank may hit the body as well, it is long enough though.

I could probably raise it up with the body posts enough to not hit the fuel tank and other things and have just the top half of the head stick out. maybe?

that would work, just the head would stick out a little bit. I think it would look sweet though.
 
I would want the head sticking out some for some airflow to help cool the engine. Plus it would look pretty sweet too.
