OK, so I'm looking to give my DBXL that personal touch and located clear body panels for it to paint up. Sheesh! $70 for clear lean? No Bueno! Anyone out there know a source for "cheaper" body panels or is this going to be a "make me yo self" project? I'm good either way.

I remember from my Associated MGT days buying a steel roll cage and mocking up some lean panels for it. My other toy store, Home Depot, has what I would need.

Share your home brew body panels here! :cool:
 
Its a little of a hassle to get, all the depends how accessible a junkyard is to you.
The plastic undercover panels for automobiles, the covers that goes under the car, are very strong. I use them to make my wings for my 1/8th buggies. The plastic has amazing memory and are resilient to breakage. Thats what I am thinking on doing for the X2 if I go roll cage mode.
On some u-pick/u-pull auto wreckers they may even let you take them for cheap.
 
I will be keeping the K&N body so no, I'm will not strip the paint off that. Besides, it would be more of a hassle than to just paint clear ones. I'm planning on grabbing a roll cage off eBay then making my own panels from some lean I have in my garage. Funny you should mention the undercarriage material crankestien. I do have a bit of that as well.

Can you tell me what the cage is made out of?
