Body Vendor

[Sprint 77]

I was wandering if anyone was going to try to make a body for the truck? The one that comes with it looks OK but the thing is warping from heat even in front and seems to be little brittle. Anyone wanting to s=cast it and vaccum some new ones out in USA made lexan not china acrylic.

yea id love a new lexan body i need a new one i was just goin to get a clear one when they came out but a lexan body would be better cause i flipped my truck backwards goin up a curb and the whole hood cracked from body mount to body mount

I hope the factory or someone makes a better body because mine is starting to crack around the body posts. Seems that the plastic is to brittle.

has anyone herd yet


or is there a body from some other 1/5 scale that is a bit stronger?

 

[Simsy]

there are plenty of body options out there i am curently running a FG beetle body you just have to be a bit creative with the mounting thats all

I just tossed a couple layers of fibre drywall tape and shoe goo on mine to fix all the cracks. I rolled mine jumping down hill and hit a rock with the front arm. Busted the arm and endo'd down the rest of the way....pretty soon it'll be held together completely with fibre tape lol

I just mounted a brand new MCD truck body on mines, and it looks real good.

I think I am going to try a exocage look over a body like the Summit from Traxxas

 

[kryptonite]

is there a link to the mcd's? how much do they go for?

I used a NewBright body with great results. I still have a Yellow Hummer body I haven;t used yet.

I could vacuum cast if someone would like to lend me or donate their shell. I was thinking about using Kevlar or carbon fiber though (1-2 layers).but It may weigh a bit more than plastic.


Anyone out there that would like to sell me their desert rat?!

 

[jackson]

newbrighti got one of those newbright bodies, since i only play down the street, works fine for me, and look dam nice too!and is a perfect fit!maybe some of the fabricators here could mold one of those and sell it!they're made out of hard plastic but still if you just doing some street running they're great, but if they were made out of some god quality lexan, it would've been awesome! heres some pic of my rampage mt scalade!
