Not exactly the same , very suttle differences but it will fit . Also try bodies from Pro-Line or JConcepts . I use the JConcepts ones and Tool likes the Pro-Line ones

Hello brudda from anudda mudda!
Yes, my Polaris paint scheme is the Pro-Line Ford Raptor. The multi-colored truck in my photos is the J-Concepts Ford Raptor.
I almost hate to say this but, Mini Tool and I both have the new Pro-Line Flo-Tech "Chevy" bodies being painted now.
I am not much of a Chevy guy, but, the new Flo-Tech bodies are the bomb!

Have any of you run the Outerwears to help keep the chassis and electronics clean and dry?

Not here in Vegas myself. We have enough issues with the heat as it is. I clean and prep before and after every visit to the track. This is how I keep small issues from turning into large ones, or on track failures. Good practice if you know what I mean!

I only run indoors, and I stay away from juicy mud!

Not me either IMO they're way overrated considering you can do the same thing with a pair of women's pantiehose lmao . Your way better just doing the preventive maintainence . You were worried bout heat in the 1st place and like Tool said they heat things up as it is . Cool news on the new bodies bro you finally gonna break down and do a SPEED paint scheme ? Im thinking maybe 1 like Clyde Stacey's class 1 with the orange AND black would look awesome !

@tim, I almost did a "Tim Beam" paint scheme.The original scheme was classy IMO. Mini TOOL however is going for the New England Patriots paint scheme. Mine is gonna be a surprise. Mini Tool's paint job is abouthalf done, and let me tell you guys, its shaping up to be pretty sweet!
