I’m aware this is not innovative; others have converted theirs. However, I did not find any that had in depth review or part numbers. When I sought how to convert mine, a lot of what I did was guess and trial and error. So again, hopefully this helps to eliminate the time spent in trying to figure out what to do on your own.

As a beginner, this is way over my head but I am taking everything in your video and having my guy convert my new one to this. One day I will know how to... fun video.
Thanks for watching! It’s a lot simpler than you may think. With time, it gets pretty easy. Either way, I hope you enjoy the new look of your ARRMA FIRETEAM! God bless! 🙏🏻
You need an award or something for posting the parts...so many people don't. Entertaining and useful...thanks for being both.
Wow thanks a lot for the kind words! I truly appreciate it! I’m especially glad you found it useful! God bless! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awesome build brother!! I know we spoke a little bit a while ago and I wanted to thank you for your encouragement! As a single dad it’s been really tough. I’ve had a rocky relationship with Jesus as I’ve been dealing with everything from custody to finances and so on. Your words of encouragement helped me to stand firm. As the word says after you’ve done everything to stand, stand some more. I’m paraphrasing. My buddy even gifted me a roller 6s notorious so it’s nice to have an rc again after selling everything. I was able to get the roller basically done (a lot of aluminum straightening) lol but it should work. Gonna be a little while for electronics bc things are very tight. But one day I’ll be back rubbing cars & trucks. I hope you and the fam have an amazing Christmas!! I’m starting a tradition of the my 1 year old daughter of singing happy birthday to Jesus every year. We even made a cupcake. I want her to grow up knowing him bc I never did.sry for long message lol merry Christmas again !
Thanks for sharing man. I think it’s great to build on traditions that give glory to God, especially when kiddos are involved. The world needs Jesus, but the word says that the world cannot know Him because the world rejects Him. But winning over souls to Christ is what we’re called to do and we can accomplish this by teaching our kiddos biblical morals.
Glad to hear your buddy was able to gift you a notorious roller. Those platforms are great for sure.
God bless, brother! 🙏🏻 we’ll be praying for victory in your life! Blessings!
dude i think that's one of my favorite truck builds i've EVER seen. hats off to you bud
Thanks man. That means a lot. I appreciate your kind words and feedback on the build of the truck. It’s definitely a gorgeous rig and it performs about as nice as it looks. Only downside are those bodies…they won’t last too long under hard bashing. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 God bless you man!
Man love that color of the body, great build and run!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! I also love that body color. Fits the truck perfectly. 🙏🏻 thanks for commenting! Blessings!
Just bought that body hopefully it fits the new big rock 😂
Awesome bro
Thanks man. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice build! I did the same but you went morein depth then me. Dig the color too!
🙏🏻🙏🏻 thanks for the kind words man. I appreciate you checking it out. It’s definitely a lot more of an eye catch than the stock set up. Playing around with body post mounts and making sure they’re in the right spot for the best fitment, as well as modifying the stock rear bumper to allow a wing set up is really where the custom creations are at. The rest can be done using the stock body shell. But everything else, as you know, just gives it a better stance, durability and more power! Have a great day man! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good luck
Thanks man.
That came out awesome! Ive been wanting to do a Body like this forever but im not too familiar with the Arrma parts and compatibility like i do with the Traxxas stuff i just had first, so I just figured id wait until i need a body for my fireteam lol.. But now with all the parts layed out and what you can do and with what parts it was super helpful thanks!
Few questions... Did you use a stock arrma part for the front body post mounts or did you make something work where it landed on the chassis? On the vid at the end, did you lose the stock fireteam chassis or you bent the M2C chassis doing that? I haven't really jumped it crazy yet because i dont feel like destroying the fireteam body yet lol..
Have you looked into maybe different bumpers that might fit this to make it look more like a truck and more protection. Maybe something off the newer 1/7 version Arrma BigRock.
Then some LED lightbar and led running lights next lol..
Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful!
I purchased separate body mounds and posts for this body mod. The parts are cheap. I believe I used 6s posts and mounts from Arrma.
The stock chassis is what I thrashed. I was going to get M2C for it anyway so it wasn’t a big deal.
I think the FT bumpers are fantastic. They’re super beefy with great support. For bashers, I’m not too concerned with how scale the truck looks. Rather, I’m looking for performance and durability. Though, the Big Rock bumpers are just beefed up FT bumpers at the end of the day. I think lights are rad for scale crawlers, but not so much for bashers.
Once you start modding the truck, you’ll see some of the things that needed to be done to accommodate the wing mount. It’s pretty simple. But you need to snip some stuff on the stock bumper.
God bless!
Think I’m gonna steal your battery box relocation idea to move some
of the weight further back on the chassis. Fireteams seem to be prone to nosediving. 😂
Thanks for commenting. Believe me, it’s not my idea. It would be cool if it was original, but I can’t claim that haha. But it definitely helps with nosediving. May not completely solve the issue, but it’s a good start. God bless! 🙏🏻
Currently, putting on the 6S Kraton Body on my fire team, wondering what body mount you for the rear that will clear the brake? Thank you.
Thanks for checking it out and finding it useful!
Are you asking me about body mounts for the rear that will clear the break? I’m not sure I understand. Happy to help, so let me know what you’re asking and I’ll get back with you on that!
🙏🏻🙏🏻 blessings.
Will this body fit on the new big rock 6s?
Thanks for checking out the video.
I’m sure it will. The Big Rock 6s has the same chassis and shock towers as the Firetram. It’s essentially a Fireteam with a different body. HOW it mounts up may be a different story though. Again, haven’t looked at a Big Rock 6s yet, but I’m sure it would work pretty easily.
What tires are you running?
The ones in the video are the ARRMA 6s Backflips ‘dboot’ tires. But I go between those at the stock fireteam tires. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Why not just buy the Kraton if you want the usual pickup track look🤦🏻
Fair question. Can’t buy a Kraton XL platform for less than $1000. Bought my FT for $400 during 2022 Black Friday. So my Kraton is
