1/8th buggy bodies without nitro holes? - 04.25.2007, 12:45 AM

I need a new body for my 1/8th buggy, without the dumb nitro holes. I have a sportwerks Mayhem Pro, and all the factory bodies are precut. I would think that many other buggy bodies would be close. If I knew which were closest to the same shape, I could get a jconcepts or proline body for that model (i believe these have no pre cut holes). Can anyone help, someone with several buggies?

There is acutally a body for the Sportwerks Turmoil that is called a "semi-painted" body. It has no holes in it. Check out Horizon's website and do a search on "turmoil body" and it will give you a link. I believe that it will fit the Mayhem if you get the Turmoil mounts.

BTW, the Turmoil body won't split at the mounting holes like the Mayhem Agitator body, so it's worth the upgrade.

It's also nice to see someone else running a sportwerks buggy. I've been running one for years, first the Mayhem and now the Turmoil and love them.

The support of my LHS was a big deal to me. I pretty much keep an entire spare kit to use for parts and when I break a part, I just restock. There have been occasions where I had to run to the LHS to pick something up and it was nice not having to wait.

Going to go see if local hobby shop has the turmoil semi painted bodies today. The owner showed me one last time I was there, it was already fitted to his car however.
I hate having to wait for parts as well, nice too when LHS is 5 - 10 min away from home. Also nice if something breaks while racing there, get new part and you're ready for the next round/main.
