![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
you have been corrupted
The chrome window moldings as well as the chrome bumpers are stickers included with the body.
If you get that body...trust me...you will love it. take your time cutting it, sanding edges and painting it. Take extra care when working with the stickers and you will have a body you will be proud of...
If you add one to your collection you definitely have to send me a link! KEEP ME POSTED!
OH by the way...be extremely careful if you are going to use Tamiya Orange paint on this car...Although the car is not a Dodge Charger, the paint gets confused. Once the vapors kick in you will be singing the theme song from "The Dukes of Hazzard" without even realizing it.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATE ALERT!!! UPDATE ALERT!!!
For those wanting to use a body that will clear the stock rear tires of the DS
The HPI series of 200mm bodies have a couple of samples measuring at Front200mm/Rear210mm
HPI 70 PLYMOUTH CUDA Front200mm/Rear210mm
HPI 70 DODGE CHALLENGER Front200mm/Rear210mm
Im working on the Dodge Challenger body. The DS & NDS rear stock hawg tires clear with no rub.
I will be posting pics as soon as the paint dries

Nice work, I like the way the pipe sneaks out, looks just right.

Thanks. I was going for a smaller diameter to stay scale but it would have restricted the motor a bit. Being that this DS has the stock exhaust, i didnt want to restrict it anymore than that.
So the big purple pipe won over
I cut a round slot out of the rear body so that it stays put.

I'm not a Mopar person at all but you did a really good job with the challenger body. The exhaust is pretty awesome too. Now it gonna look like a real Mopar smoking up the street when you take it out.

Thanks Todd, I had to improvise with the number plates....they came courtesy of a RC10GT decal set.
70 for the year of the body...Same for Camaro (69). I wish i had a set of decent of DS hawgs on the rear of the challenger; they clear the body so nicely...but they need to run true.
I um...how do i say this....i swiped the receiver from the NTC3 so i can install on one of the cars.
no need to worry, I wrote an IOU to the car....lol

UPDATE...UPDATE...UPDATE
A new body was painted to compliment the DS with the pink chassis, "pinky".
I kept the old school muscle car theme...A pink Plymouth Hemi Cuda.
Some pics.
The yellow challenger body will go on a new nitro DS that has been slowly emerging from a pile of spare parts...
here is what i have so far...
Titanium turnbuckles; RPM ball end cup; Zero Degree aluminum suspension mounts
Aluminum C-hubs/knuckles
MIP ball bearing steering
Titanium hinge pins
Stainless steel screws being used
more to come...

Thanks man! Amazingly to know is that HPI has discontinued the Cuda clear body. I managed to get this one from an Airplane hobby shop.

Todd...i know i know...but i havent gotten a chance to record video or take pinky out for that matter.
You will be happy to know that ive taken the Mustang out a second time; it was a lot of fun. Gear change and brush-less motor/esc combo are next on the list for the Mustang.
