hi i see that the most of you here try to make their bodys with coke bottles.
I have a little company here in germany and we make unique custom moulds for confectionerys and restaurants.
and we make body and wide body kits for 1/10 rc drift cars ( at the moment we make a "carnage" style body kit ), and next year we will make some shells mainly for the b4.
for making our custom moulds we use VIVAC ( sry dont know the english word ) and a vacuum thermoformin unit , i know not everyone can spend the money for such tools but there a many easy ways to get a near 100 % result especially for offroad shells.
for example
we did our first moulds like this, u need a lot of fine tuning with the temperature but if u got it , it will work very well.
@the ae shocks
don t know why everyone uses losi shocks if u build them correctly u will have no problems with leaky shocks
