Hello,
I’m refurbing and upgrading my old 90s Blitzer Beetle and have barely touched the hobby since back then so am a real novice.
I’m looking at putting a lexan body on it (gone for kamtec baja) and I like the slightly more lowered look like the one in these pics:

I know I can cut the rear mounting holes higher up the body, trim out space for the motor and trim back the wheel arches, but how can I lower the front mount? Is there an alternative Tamiya front mounting set which would fit the Blitzer Beetle which would allow much lower mounting? Or even, like my old mates used to do back in the day with their Schumacher/Losi buggies, is velcro somehow workable? And if so, isn't there a risk the glue it could melt/damage the paint or just tear it straight off?
Many thanks for any help.

Staium Blitzer is fundamentally the same chassis, front body mounts on that (G parts) are a lot lower (not much above the front shock tower) and a bit further back - but they're also quite wide apart, so you'd have to guesstimate whether or not they'll work. For 4.99 GBP from Tonys Tamiya Parts on eBay they have to be worth a punt
