Transparrent body!! MOST WANTED!

[k.jensen]

hi.


the biggest wish of them all that I've got for at hopup part is a transparrent bodyshell so u can make your own look on your body. the stock body is also really thin so a 2mm poly carbonate body (like the ones u can get for most largescale rc cars) is most wanted.


it's a bit problematic with 2 green XB's on the same track, from distance it's almost impossible to see a difference.

Yes I know its hard to see my green one on our track with other green xb`s,so I used different colored wheels or I made lexan wheel covers,and I painted the gear cover.

 

[k.jensen]

nice job cordy, but still, a transparent body would be the best Idea of them all.


costum paintjob, mmmmh niice!

I swear I saw a clear body for the XT but can't find one for the XB.

 

[DustyR3825]

I like the custom wheels....

 

[Fabe]

Cool wheel covers! Anyone have the size dimensions of the XB/XT bodies?

 

[foxys]

I have to agree, a clear body would be awesome. I HATE having the same paint job as anyone else.

 

[xbeNewb]

Agreed

Clear body for xb and xb-e would be great

I've been looking at mcd, fg and even hurrax bodies but they are expensive

Anyone know if the xb body is pre-trimmed if I order an extra body from Redcat?

Thinking about getting the green xb body for my xb-e but I don't want big holes in it for the gears, pull start etc

Anyone tried stripping the factory paint job? There are a few different methods such as oven cleaner, brake fluid and mineral spirits. Do NOT use acetone. It will melt the surface of a lot of plastics. I had a pre painted body with some tough paint on it. Mineral spirits worked great and didn't harm the plastic.

[strodedawg]

anyone do any vacuum forming to make a new body?

 

[xbeNewb]

I see the clear body is now listed on Redcat as out of stock so I'm guessing it's just a matter of time now

I emailed them for an eta but no response yet

I talked to Chris and yes they are getting them, and no, no idea when. Patience. I'll be happy if I can get one next spring to have my local artist do his thing with.
