Has anyone tried fitting the Traxxas Body Accessories Kit, Part 5828 to the Proline Ford Raptor body PRO351600?
I'm looking to put this body on an Axial Basecamp to replace the original body that's been beat up, trimmed, etc.
Thanks for any feedback.

Being ones a shortcourse I'm assuming they are off some. By any chance do you own a 3d printer?

No & I am not sure one is in my near future either. I do wonder about the problem solving ability that could be realized around the house by owning one, though. Maybe someone has created files for this application? Would Shapeways be the place to go to check that out?
 
I have the Traxxas Raptor body on a 2wd (LCG) setup - cobbled together from a Drag Slash chassis.

The side mirrors probably wouldn't be difficult to mount but the grill and hood insert are made to fit a molded in recess in the Traxxas body. The Proline won't have those, so the Traxxas parts will either sit high (on top of the plastic) or you'll need to do some cutting on the body to get them to fit correctly.

Thanks for the pics. It’s probably not worth it to cut the proline body to fit those parts. I was hopeful, but it looks and sounds like I need to reevaluate my plan.
