I'm just glad I can replace individual sections of the semi in the avatar cuz it's about $350 to buy a semi body

Thats precisely what needs to be the next evolution in mainstream 5th scale bodies.
 
There was this kid on youtube he was using drywall tape and amazing plumbers glue, I tried it works pretty good.
 
My Local Hobby Shop has the clear rampage mt body for $50.00


Not to bad of a price I guess, I mean you could shop online get it for $45 plus shipping...


I haven't destroyed the body on my rampage yet but I do want a spare body to play with, I want to get an airbrush kit and paint it myself with some fastkolor paint...

MCD Baja 1000 Body


Has anyone ever purchased a body from this website? I'm guessing it will run roughly $200 with shipping but it is a fiberglass body with kevlar reinforced sidewalls and fenders. It will add some weight but they look as if they could take a good beating.

I think fellow forum member Nanoali has one of those bodies. Maybe he can chime in and let us all know how it is holding up.
 
Redct MT bodies painted or clear are around $55 on ebay and a coat of resin will stiffin them up plus maybe some heat tape or duct tape on the inside. I can't see spening over $200 for a body but then I won't spend that much on a dinner for 2 either.
