Redcat Gen 8 Jeep Wheel Wells and Body Mounts

cults3d

Hi guys, This is some fender wells for the Redcat Gen 8 that allow you to install a cheap Chinese Jeep body shell. The Jeep shell isn't special, I just didn't want to destroy the Scout II body in freezing winter weather. I ordered two and one showed up a bit beat up, but the second was protected by the first, so I saved it for later. I intended to make the body mount up a little nicer, but my planning wasn't good and I wanted to get out before it got really cold, so I ended up screwing the inner mounts in place. Despite being quick and dirty, the mounts have held up well. The rear is two-piece with a cross brace for the body posts and the piece that mounts to the body shell. I used dollar store velcro to attach it and it's working great. The fender wells mount in place of the original ones and use the same holes. The fitment isn't perfect, but I used some Gorilla tape to adjust the outer limits and fill small gaps against the frame, and the result isn't bad. I expect I'll revisit at some point if I end up running these bodies often enough.
