Can I mount this body on a stretched or shortened chassis?

Minor wheelbase changes can be accommodated by trimming or relocating mounts, but significant alterations may affect fit and aerodynamics.

Is the body pre-drilled for mounting posts?

The shell typically requires you to mark and drill mounting holes to match your Nitro Thunder chassis, allowing precise alignment for your setup.

What paint types work best on this polycarbonate?

Use polycarbonate-specific spray paints applied from the inside, in light layers. Avoid solvent-based body paints not intended for lexan surfaces.

How do I reduce wheel-tire interference when fitting the body?

Check wheel travel and steering throw before final mounting; trim inner wheel arches where necessary and use body posts that allow slight height adjustment.
