Here's a place where you can show off your custom body for your Dnano! I'll start first.
Anybody remember the Think Happy 1/43 scale RC car with functioning lights? I've got their Subaru WRX WRC model, fantastic body, but the chassis no longer work's.

The bottom look's similar to Epoch's, but I think the electronics are a tad more sophisticated.

It had a neet charging system where you just snap the entire car onto the display stand and wait for the LED to go out.
It takes about five to six screws to remove the body off the chassis.

Here's the wiring for the light's, pretty neet set up, but I don't think it'll work on the Dnano, so it'll all get ripped out.

Here's the body ligned up with the Dnano chassis. This is my Ferrari 360 chassis and it's nearly a perfect fit for this Subaru.

Here's the body resting on the Dnano. There's quite a bit of stuff on the inside of the body that need's to be dremelled out to fit better. Plus, I'll need to fabricate a mounting system for it.

Here's the underside of the Dnano inside the Subaru.

What do you all think?

Well.........shoot. Now that I dremmelled out everything to make it fit, I found out it does not fit the wheel base. Perhaps it'll fit the RM type better.

Also, the wheel's look a little small on this body too.
