R/C's with 72 chevy bodies

[scrappy]

Thought I'd share a couple picture's of two of my r/c's that have chevy bodies on them. The first is a picture of my traxxas e-maxx with a novak hv-maxx speed control & a 5.5 turn sensored brushless 550 motor. I radar'd it at 48 mph with 2 5200mAh 60c lipo's. The other r/c is a modified axial ax10 scorpion rock crawler. I took 5th place out of about 40 competitors in the nw oregon rock crawler competition series in 2008 with it which was my 1st year competing. It has since been retired & just sits on a shelf in my garage collecting dust:


Here's a video of it in action at lucia falls park in battleground washington. Hope you enjoy:

Pretty cool! Did you mold the bodies yourself, or buy a pre-mold? Is you bought it, where from?

Thank you. The body on the e-maxx is a readily available lexan body from proline racing. For the 1:8 scale monster trucks they make a 72 long bed, 72 short bed & 1980 chevy pu & 80 blazer bodies. I just looked on their website & didn't see the 72 chev rockcrawler body so they might be discontinued(not sure). They come clear & you paint them with lexan safe paint on the inside. I airbrushed an 80 chev pu body for my buddy's e-maxx & he liked it so much he's going to paint his 83 chev 4x4 that he's been working on to match the rc body I painted for him. I also have an 80 blazer body that I did a custom airbrush paint job on. It has glow in the dark flames down the driver side & a marbled checkered flag down the passenger side but that one just sits on the shelf.
