In the market for 1/5 body

[flarcer]

I'm new to 1/5 scale onroad cars and now that I'm looking for a 535mm body, I have a few questions. I'm not a racer so the field is kinda, somewhat wide open. I noticed that on Accord and BMW, Frank Killiam bodies are less money than any other company with than same model car, why is that? Are there certain bodies that have air cleaner clearance problems? Do all bodies come with window masks and decals? On multi piece bodies, whats the best way to attach them together without the car looking tacted-on? Thanks

som of the bodies are 1.5mm and some are 2mm the thinner ones are usually

cheaper and lighter for racing.............

Flarcer,

To hold the body without tacking them on, I've used velcro with allot of success. I cut one strop and put it to the body and the other to the chassis and it works a treat!!
