Leadfinger XT8 truck body

Leadfinger has teamed up with RC America and Ty Tessmann to redesign a one-of-a-kind truck body that is specially fit for the Xray XT8. With this there are no extra holes or cutlines to navigate when cutting out the body. By request Leadfinger has also lengthened the back of the cab into the bed of the truck allowing for more room of the oversized air filter. The rest of the styling remains the same form the popular original. To mount the body, use the single post from the XB8 buggy and raise it using a longer screw and 5mm spacers. This allows it to be the lowest sitting body in its class and is why it has been become a preferred tuning option by Ty Tessmann and the Xray team. This body is available from RC America, Leadfinger Racing and its trusted dealers for purchase. The new truck body for the Xray XT8 comes clear and ready for paint. Window masks and grill/ headlight stickers are included.
