best latemodel body?

[DENNISDESIGNS]

What is the best latemodel body for a tight high bite bullring? and what are you guys using for front bumpers on these cars for the latemodel bodies anybody with pics would help out a bunch just don't want to throw something on a brand new car that looks like crap thanks for any help I can get

I run the Customworks Eldora Body and works quite well. I also do run a front bumper.

If your running electric, you'll want a 9" wide body. I'm runnin a Factory Works Rocket with the front & rear windows cut out and deck put in for more downforce. Almost everyone at my track runs this setup. Front bumper is my own design mounted on top of the front kick up plate. If you want , I'll post a pic tomorrow.

pics would be great would you be willing to sell me a few bumpers for these cars me and my buddy are building 2 new cars right now. Does factory works have a website showing there bodies? where is the best pace to buy them?

[hobbyman_7]

factoryworks.com I don't sell the bumpers, to much time to make, not worth it. I bought my body direct, but I'm sure a few online places have them. Check out the links section.

By the way , the Havoc's a great car. I've been racing mine since April and have TQ'd 3 or 4 times. If you need some Late Model setup help PM me. It's quit a bit different than a EDM.

I'm personally a fan of the Eldora now. I thought that the 9" would be the way to go but found out otherwise. Running a Havoc too, i built my own bumper out of Kydex, but you can get the CW bumper and just add a piece of Kydex or CF and bolt that bumper to it and it works great, you'll just have to use your imagination, i've seen lots of different bumpers out there. As far as a setup, i've been running the wide custom works axles on the front with wheels spaced all the way out, regular arms on the back with .125 spacers on each. 30 wt oil in all four shocks, 4lb springs in back and an 8lb lf and 12lb rf. That has worked well for me all year in 13.5LM, but i'msure it's different depending on where you're running at.

I don't have a Havoc, but on my Pro-Car I used a CDK Kydex Front Bumper (part #CDKM032 ) (http://www.cdkmrcproducts.com/products.php) to attach a Custom Works front bumper (part #3012) (http://www.customworksrc.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=1A70001-1056751489). Then I used a Custom Works foam bumper (part #8115) (http://www.customworksrc.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=44B0000-1104722128) to help absorb the impacts! :D It'a a pretty simple way to put a bumper on a terminator based car with a late model body.

Kranzel's makes a front bumper/body mount for the terminator style cars. Works very well.

Hey guys, see the new thread about LM's, I posted a pic there of my LM bumper.

[Allan Webster]

Here is a couple of photos of what I did. This was from the LM Nats in June. Haven't touched it since I got back. We don't run them out here so, it is how it came out of my suit case.

Used the Kranzel's front bumper. Put a 6" scale up to the edge of the most aft edge, scribbed a line (scale is approx .5" wide), transferred the mounting holes forward. Cut and redrilled holes. That was required to use the CW Lumina body.

Rear body mount is standart rear mount.

Seemed the body of choice was the Factory works, not sure if it was the Rocket or not? It was one of their newer bodies.

Used HPI body posts on the front.

Car was awesome, just needed more time driving it on that track. Kept going in to deep and scrubbing too much speed.

Dustin, thanks again for building such good easy stuff to drive. I've been slowly replacing cars as needed. Will definitely be building another electric sprint. Currently building a 'pro truck' using his trans case/light weight outdrives.

Jason what convinced you that the Eldora body was the one?? How wide is it??
Will be running on a clay, high bite track. Its also a little on the Bumpy side.
