Wow, alot of response. Like I said I can do anybody but, there would have to be a model of it, and alot of those cars your requesting could easily be done with the model it self. But if you really want a lesan body then you'll have to build the model body with windows, and reinforce all the joints with model putty then send it to me.

c1v1c · #26 11-02-2008, 10:41 PM

Yep, It's that lightweight transparent plastic formed body you've seen on nitro and on other rc's

deckerz · #27 11-02-2008, 10:45 PM

You can't compare the price of a nitro rc parts with an xmod as it is larger...So of course it is more expensive coming from an xmodder perspective.

Prob cuz its 1:10th - 1:8th scale compared to a smaller 1:28th scale body.

...or should it have been cheaper for the bigger bodies and more expensive for the 1:28th scale bods? lol

besides, they use a thicker guage lexan for nitro bods

thanx guys. I was thinking 19$. That will cover my cost and shipping. Once I have enough posts I'll start a sale thread I guess in B/S/T.

I made a very nice home made vacuum form (you can make one for around 350$-550$) I take the plastic Xmod body or model body and make a plaster mold of it. then I vacuum form a lexan sheet over it. Let it dry and harden and thats it. Ba---dang. Here is a link where you can buy vacuum form plans to build one. http://www.build-stuff.com/1001plans_hobby_vac.htm

Hey man those are pretty cool! I like the ray as well. Do you just trim all the excess when your done?
