Hi Jonny I was watching this with great interest and someone on Tamiya club had the same idea.
I love the brat body she’ll, but I hate that the wheels stick out so far, also the height at the back seems a bit much.
The link above should be his build, hopefully of some help.

Thanks Al :y:

I noticed they used a vintage Scorcher body post at the front, it really doesn't fit & I'm not sure I'd trust it on a shelf, let alone a runner :)

Could't find my pondscum green, so had to mix some more from my dwindling stash of PC- paints ... brushed 2 coats of that then sprayed the white.

Now waiting on another antenna & the weather to be good enough to spray the driving lamps.

:)

Made a front body post for the Super Brat - I had aluminium aluminium rod that was too small a diameter or too big, I suppose what I really should have done was wait until I had some a suitable size & taper turned the middle section on the Unimat to make it look more like other SRBs ...

Froggy has sold ... a 2WD, lexan body buggy really ought to be at the bottom of my list if I'm to have any focus (and I need the hobby money & shelf space), but nevertheless I feel bit sad about it going :(

Never easy to let some of the models go...

I still regrets selling some of my custom projects in the past.
My biggest mistake was to trade my Clod for two nitro cars. Should never have done that
