The body is a kyosho mini-z body. you can find them on the web for about 22.00 bucks, or you can go your local hobby store and get them for about 18.00 bucks,

To black, from start to finish it took me about an hour and a half. (with getting the first coat of paint on.)

I am curious how you put the back clip in a body like that? And how you make the front little hole for the front clip. Anyone know how?

Mold it from Bondo or styrofoam, or cut it out of a stock body.

The front clip was easy,, it already had one installed. the back will be a different story. i will have to customize a new mount. for it. i will try to get some pics up for you all on the rest of my project.
