  LimmetED doing some very noice work from Sveden yah. It’s got slightly more flavor than the typical lexan bodies and its priced about 17USD excl. postage. Also tells you WB and offset lengths to remove some guess work.

  mmm… tasty stuff there…. Mock; go the carbon chassis if your’re going down the lexan body path… and be prepared to break things. Maybe. I’ve got a micro airbrush setup if you want to get funky, paint-wise… do they come with window masks, or is it a DIY sort of thing??

  The bodies don’t come with any masks unfortunately, a real bummer considering what a hassle it is to make and apply mini masks. I’m seriously considering the carbon chassis route, got some micro LiPos from my Lama, but most chassis offerings are based on AAA. I can whip up a few Carbon/Kevlar panels, but I don’t have access CNC router. 🙁

  I have the stuff to make soft bodies for my slot cars, always had plans to make a couple for my Iwavers/Z’s.. then again I have LOTS of plans about making lots of things lol.. (mind you, some of those plans have happened 🙂 )
  
  I use clear PVC film, not as durable but easier to form, much cheaper and easier to source.
