RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Hey guys, I am we'll on my way to having my shelf queen complete. I do not have a body for this thing and I would like to get one but I don't know where to start. I am sure that I will be unable to find a vintage RC10 body. With that said, what current body is the right one? The re-make of the old one.
I would love to have the box art body, does anyone paint these? Is there a guy or a company that sells these? Where should I start? Thanks on advance.

You can still get bodies for your car, at places like tower hobbies, or ebay, I've even seen a new buggy body painted up in box art theme, on ebay .Wasn't cheap though.

Thanks Mario.

I've purchased 2 of these from Luis in the past and have had great luck and good service. You will need to trim the body yourself.....

Both available and reasonably priced. You will have to paint or have painted.

Many of the other bodies from "back in the day" are hard/impossible to find and expensive if you do. Also there are some who are remaking some of these, but I know little about that.

I've recently found TeamBlueGroove on eBay. They remake many of the vintage bodies including the Protech II (I've been looking for one of those ).

Edited to add - Here is a forum thread about Team Blue Grove (TBG):

Team blue grove makes great bodies, I've gotten a few from them, no problems here, and there in the same province as me, so its fast shipping.
