an Alternative source of Bodies?

[wldnas]

It has come to my attention that some alternative bodies, that are suitable for RC applications are currently available in any toy store.

They need a lot of work and adapting to get up to the sort of standard required by our members but where else can you get the body of a NEW VW Microbus, JAGUAR XK8 convertable, Mk1 Renault Espace and Ford Angila!!!

they may not be bang on 1:10 scale mind you but they are just gagging to get used on a Decent RC chassis.

Want to know more....

well lets see Barbie is the one with the VW Microbus £29.99 she also has a smart VW new Beetle at about the same price.

Sindy is no slouch either, shes got a Jag XK8 convertable (£24.99) and a sweet New Mini cooper with a very high quality body about 1:8 scale id say but Im not sure of the price, its probably £30 or over.

seen the New Harry Potter film... it stars a Ford Angila, and you can get a toy replica of this car which is around about 1:10/12 scale. its not perticually detailed and they have modified the grille a bit but its Cheap at around £14.99 and looks like it should drop straight onto a M type chassis.

the BRATZ dolls have a car, a big yank Low rider, superb quality, might fit a TL chassis? but its a bit expensive at £29.99.

there are some non franchise barbie wanna be type dolls that also have some interesting rides.... in woolworths you can find for a measly £9.99 a car that is a dead ringer for a BMW Z3 convertable!! its not the best quality and sickly pink but its dirt cheap and you cant go far wrong at that [] and if you look in Toys'R'Us you might come across the "Jessica" ppl carrier which looks suspisiously like a Mk1 Renault Espace and thats only £14.99

there are others but they dont look anything like real cars so Id stay clear of those, but if you looking out for something a bit different to stick on you M or TL chassis or perpaps you have a monster truck in need of a eye catching new body then I suggest you have a look at whats going on at the other end of the toy shop... take a gamble, you might well be serprized by what you find [8D]
