i wish there were more large scale body to choose from out there like a 1/10 scale. only problem is anything that i like is $150 and they break on the first roll over. my body cracked the first time i hit the brakes too hard and my truck rolled. those cats are heavy. i really want to start making my own.

I am going to build me a 1/5 vac former setup. I just need to build a shed in the back yard first to make some room and get some crap out of the garage. my 6.5 hp Rigid shop vac will work fine. for a heating element I am going to get a couple oven elements and mount into a hood. tracks like cupboard drawers to slide the lexan up to the heat and down to the table will help keep such a big sheet lined up.

If someone out there was to built a new body shell for the Mt or the TT what would you guys like to see. I personally would like to see a stadium truck like the HPI 5T.

I know these bodies don't hold up to bashing to well...BUT I WANT ONE Where can I get one? And as jackson said for $20, you can't go wrong. They look so cool

 

[pipeous]

I picked up a small vac former to get started. made a front spoiler for my F1

I'll look at enlarging it later after I learn how to do this right. I have found with lexan you need to pre heat it to remove moisture. I am playing with txp right now as it's easier to work with and readily available.
