I know that AE still sells their rc10 bodies and JC has their new style bodies. Are there any repoduction bodies out there? New styles etc?

No new that I know of other than JC Detonator, Detonator Worlds and the Pro-Line Mirage SS. There are some repros on Ebay, but I'm not going to recommend them personally.

I bought one Bolink Funco and one Jammin' Jumper from Old RC, they're pretty nice if you're looking for something different.

I havn't painted the Jammin' but the Funco is done, was a pretty fun project that turned my T2 into a stadium buggy :mrgreen:

That "Scorpion" body is freaking awesome!!

BTW, your Funco body looks great, been wanting to do one of those for a while. Jeez man, I buy and paint bodies much faster than I can destroy them :-)

Sure, this one you can the rear detail and how I painted that part. Since the last photo it's been run a few times at our track so it's a bit dirty now. Painting wasn't all that tricky even though I've never painted this one before. I struggled a bit on the rear shock tower cuts since I could only find one photo on how it supposed to be cut and that was on an Optima so it didn't really apply :oops: Do keep in mind this is a T2 so yeah, it's a big, tall body.

If you're wondering, I made the vinyl pinstriping/number plates/window nets to put on it since the last photo. The shock towers I redesigned and routed 1/8" G10 for this specific project otherwise i wouldn't be able to fit the body through the stock front tower without cutting it down a lot. The rear I redid simply because I had to change it a little for bolt-on wing mounts. :D

Mine was trimmed for the t2 wheelbase so it won't quite fit a buggy 10 without trimming more up front by the steering, sorry.

Teman, pop that funco on your team car so Twisted can see what it looks like. Just be warned that funco body is huge on a buggy, its cool looking because it so different, but it is big!

As for cab forward bodies, you can search for a parma eagle body

John, everything is packed up / in storage since I'm moving as you know. Only the 44 and the T2 are out to run :(
