different bodies

gonya · #1 08-02-2009, 06:06 PM

I see all these photos in the forums of cars that have custom bodies. Eg. baja bug chevy bel air and others,, where these released as xmods or are they just bodies from something else. If they are how do i find and make a custom car also. any information would be appreciated

They're just model cars adapted for Xmods. There's a tutorial in the How To section that explains it.

Edit:

There's actually two tutorials, but only one link works.

It does cost a lot, if you take time and planning. I found out that the best chassis to work with was the Evolution. The Street series you can't as much. You might want to get the longest chassis, if you plan on doing a custom body.

Cost come from buying the body. For example if you buy a Tamiya Nissan S13 1/24 scale model, that can easily cost you $30 bucks vs you get a Revell 2006 Pontiac GTO w/ the same scale size, but the price will be different.

All models will need some type of work in order to fit your x-mods chassis. Don't worry, once you get into it.....the paid-off....is worth it

I'm mounting a Miniz S2k On my Evo It's a "finished" project I just need some epoxy to get the rear clip mount stuck on the body XD model glue (Zap a gap, Gale Force nine, etc) doesn't seem to work. XD
