FG Body

[drg007]

what will be a good choice of body, if someone is able to make one for FG. I seen stock fg body is really thin. give me a suggestion on what body should be reproduce.
let me start with Subaru WRX

 

[drg007]

what would be a good price range for a nice thick lexan body for FG

My FG Honda and BMW bodies are thick compared to the very thin FK BMW that I have. I also have a couple of the off brand Honda bodies and they are somewhere between the FG and FK but feel more like plastic not lexan.

Wow, I didn't even get close to answering your questions. Let me try again...

personally I would like to have a '71-72 Datson 510 and 240Z. A '67 Camero, a '73 Firebird, a 63 corvett.

As for price, that will depend on the quality of the details in the body. For example, I would spend top dollar for an HPI or Tamiya body. I wouldn't buy a Parma or Dahms body unless it was marked 75% off AND buy one get one free.

maybe a Datsun 510 will be sweet, u think it will be a hot item

 

[xlamontx]

It would go over very well with the "Datson" guys like me and the few guys that don't mind style over function. The racers, however, may prefer something a little less brick shaped.

If you want it to be the new hot item, make it for the racers. Personally, I really like the Porsche bodies for the short wheel base cars, but would love to see an option like the Lotus Elise Series 2. It's just a thought.

what other body, FG owner like to purchase that is not available

 

[renbar]

maybe a lancia stratos that would be very nice or how about a dodge charger everybody love the general then theres the a-team van how cool would that be

 

[pipeous]

nobody makes a race truck, like an f150. one that actually covers the wheels not an mt shell. I love the semi because I can fill, access the carb, start etc without removing the body. a truck bed could be cut out the same

 

[atom3624]

How about a couple of the Monster Jam bodies?
Max D, Batman, TMNT, etc ?
Definitely '67 Camaro and '63 Sting Ray. Muscle Car wheels are available from IQP.
DECENT GT40 with sharp 'creases'. ... the one that's available is 'jelly mould'.
Aston DBR9.
Bowler has been mentioned a few times recently - my fault and proud of it !!
Morgan.
Porsche 917.
Where do I stop? !!!

I like the McLaren F1 body personally.. I also think the Audi looks good.

id love to see a new dodge challenger, and like the real one it would need something to beat, so id like to see a new camaro body as well.

The A-Team van. That would be awesome. I could hum the theme song while I drive it. :2guns:

he heh this post is interesting for me...
my first 1/5 body should be ready in november, i have to think about the third one!

 

[dopeyiniraq]

I would like to c a corvette body but just any body it has to be a le mans corvette

4 Beta

 

[myrcbud]

57 Bel Air or El Camino for On Road with a bed cover to cover the engine

 

[dopeyiniraq]

I don't think a truck body or car with truck styles is not a good idea I can say its not gonna look true to scale cause of the fact the motor will be through whatever it is look at the fg on road trucks
