sounds good to me!

I would preorder the Cheetah and Mustang

Just a suggestion here, but when taking pics of the product, you'll want each pic to be as different as possible. Having 2 shots from directly overhead, and one from slightly overhead, can make it hard to really see the product. I'd do maybe one overhead, a straight on side view, and maybe a 3/4 front/side view.

Thanks for the feedback.
You are correct unfortunately our background material is not big enough to allow a good background and underneath coverage for something this size. Traditionally most of our parts our always shot from above since they are small flat parts, so it hasn't been an issue. We got a new light setup in and now just waiting on the background. Also the side shot will be a body shell that has some paint to better see the body lines.

I would definitely be in to pre-order a 10T body.

I'm happy to hear the molds went your way and bodies are being pulled I certainly will be purchasing quite a few! I think I arrived too late here to purchase any from Mrlexan when he was pulling them, I don't want to miss out again. Looks like the first couple came out great, congrats

I completely understand the difficulties with pulling some of these, reproducing all the details without any wrinkles or thin spots is super tricky. With being said, I would love to see the 10T get bumped higher up on the list; however, if that has to wait I completely understand. I'm sure it's one of the more difficult bodies to pull due to body details and how tall it is.

In the meantime I'll order one of each, exited to check them out!

Cheers!

EDIT: Order placed and received Jammin and the Funco came out great, nice work!
Thanks once again!

Glad to hear you got them.

Important update.

We are going to make only 2 more Funco bodies available. We have found bunch of them with what looks like something was on the mold when they got pulled. We may offer the mistakes as discounted seconds. They obviously didn't check the bodies very well after pulling them because it is in the same spot on a bunch of them for most of the run. I am getting a little discouraged with the plants ability to run these. May have to put things on hold and find another place. Consistency seems to be an issue with some others bodies in the works as well. I have not signed off on a bunch of them because they are just terrible.

Sorry if it has been asked elsewhere, but is the 10T mold the standard wide body or the narrower team truck body?

I admire your commitment to quality, you certainly have my business!

I would love to get my hands on one of these.

Being a Losi guy originally, I have to admit I am not real sure. I think it is the standard body. Picture below of the mold.

I have pulled all tooling out of the plant I was in right now. Went there yesterday and got it all.

I have some more that Funco body that appear to be better. They accidentally ran more, got it mixed up with another mold and they ran it again. (now you kind of know what I have been dealing with)

I also have some Cheetah bodies, but they are not the greatest. Moisture issues and on some they put some stuff in the back to prevent webbing. But they put the stuff right on a portion of the very rear body line. Not what I had approved.

Also got some Baja Bug Sand Scorcher bodies no moisture issues, there is some cold/distortion marks on the drive side door.

Then got Bolink Yokomo half bodies. But they have moisture problem.

So all the rejects will be offered up eventually at heavily discounted prices. Doesn't seem right to just toss them out. Be good beater bodies for people interested.

I have another plant doing some test runs right now. So we will see how that goes.

The stress of manufacturing is real on this stuff. I long for the XX front bulkhead production again. That was a lot less painful.

It's the standard 10T (not the Team).

1989 SCCA Trans Am Mustang body sounds like one I would like and the ford f-150

Am I being a total retard but I can't find the bodies also when's the yoke and the cat ones on the list to be pulled when you find a decent place

Ok, some reject bodies have just been put up this morning. I still have to get the Yokomo Half Body up there, that will be later this weekend maybe. They are really bad.

Bolink Sand Scorcher Baja Bug Monster Beetle Body. Actually not to bad when all painted, hardly tell any issues. Really!

Bolink Cheetah Mistake2 body. 12th scale body. This maybe the best of the two I am selling right now. See the description and pictures.

Going to be away rest of day so won't be checking in again for a while.
