 When you start hopping up your Thunder Tiger MT-4 G3 the single biggest change you can make to its looks is changing the body. This week we’ll be going over what it takes to put a new body on your big TT.

Body Selection

The stock body on the Thunder Tiger MT-4 G3 doesn’t look half bad, but it does have its downsides. The stocker is made from thin polycarbonate, making it prone to crash damage. Also, the stock body is made to have a scale look to it, it does not offer a lot of performance.

When choosing an aftermarket body you will want to-

1. Make sure it fits, most monster truck bodies will bolt right up.
2. Make sure it is made out of thick Lexan to take a good beating.

We ended up going with a Pro-Line Slipstream body. The Slipstream is made from heavy .060 shatterproof Lexan to make it extra tough. It was also designed for high speed use, something we intend on doing quite often with our Thunder Tiger. Lastly, the Slipstream has an air intake in the front, and an exit in the rear. This can help keep the electronics in your truck cooler.

Going the Long Way

For our install we went a longer route. Because we added a wing, we had to mount up an additional set of body mounts. Also, we aren’t fans of body clips, so we installed a Pro-Line Thumbwasher set. You may remember back in June when BigSquid did the thumbwasher install.

In the rear, we used the stock rear mounts for the wing. We used a Pro-Line high downforce rear wing not only because of its aerodynamic properties, but also because they can take a good beating without breaking.
