bit wun please dont do all caps when typing a messenge. it sound like your shouting when you have all caps

....and, it's harder to read.

sorry
 

i did'nt mean to shout....:D

thats alrite most people happen to do it with out thinking

Spanky, Ive been noticing that all of your bodies have the curve at the bottom. You probably already know this, but from when I was vacuum forming HPI Micro RS4 bodies I remember that too. If you want to get rid of it, prop the mold up onto of something so that the former can suck the plastic all the way to the bottom of the mold. Just a word of advice... :D

yea those were from the initial molds.. the solution to this, or what i have done. is attached the molds to a base, and then just drill small holes all around the base of the car so that the vaccum can do its work. and it seems to be working great now.. but thats a good idea also.. i think i might try that also maybe then i could get more molds outa one sheet of plastic then..

Spanky-

Are these bodies lighter than the normal ones you can buy from a retailer?

how about some acura integra type r bodies?? integra type r = RSX just incase you didnt know..... and some lambo muchinge ( thats how you spell it rite??) bodies

i weighed them on a digitalpostage scale. stock skyline bodys weigh from 5-6 grams. my bodys painted weigh 2-3 grams. so yes they weigh about half of a stock retail body.

nice that means my car will go faster...:D hey spanky are you going to move to larger scale r/c bodies?? i think alot of people will buy them...
anyone else with me on the rsx or the lambo??

it sure does seem like it.. another cool thing about the bug body iis that it always seems like when it falls from a table or rolls, it always lands back on its tires.. which is kinda cool.

what other scale bodys were you thinking about? since i dont have any other scale cars its kinda hard for me to make bodys that might fit these cars.

oh i was thinking of the iracer, digi q, puchi maru, epoch, miniz, DRR, and micro rs4. i know i said larger scale but the digi q and i racer dont have many body styles so i think many people that have them will buy them

yes
 

i would love to have a bus and a bug body...for my i racer
:D :eek:

ive never seen one.. how big are they?

4.55cm i think..but i think you need a screw ti out it on.

humm i would have to see one. i will look for them next time im at the hobby shop.

I had a ZZ but it ended up defective. but the post length was about 2&1/2 apart from front bodymount to rear body mount.
<spanky are on vacation>

Spanky were are you. And I was wondering how bissnes was.
"I am a presistent kid am I not"

right now im in upper michigan attending a funeral. otherwise im in sacramento california. business is ok. although im still spending more than im selling... but o well. its fun

Sorry to bug you then. I didn't know one of your reletives died.
I got a new kind of motor works car and it is a odd one. you can modify the body and rims are slighty like zz fronts are amaller though.

Got any close up pics of the car and accessories?

Didn't T_T_52 have a post here?

Yea, he did. Something about his camera sucks at close ups.

Crap! I lost like 20 posts! :mad:

Sorry for it being off subject but this probrably is going to be a body mod to get flip lights done to this Body to fit bits and make it race modified. the wheels will go on the bit too.

just an update on what im working on... i am in the process of painting these.... or trying. i just spilt my whole jar of silver on the carpet.... oops.... i have pics of some on my website, as well as numerous posts in here.

finished:

new beatle rsi
baha beatle
1600 beatle (70's model)
micro couper (the old style mini)
911
lemans beamer (bmw)
ferare 250 gto (ferrari)


coming soon:
New Micro couper (the new mini)
57' nommad
56' bel-aire (ip zap body)
56' pickup - (resin molded also)


i have also thought of molding some muscle machine bodys for zip zaps. i could make them work with slight mods.. the resin or plastic bodys would make them much lighter than the die cast.. does anyone have any requests on these?

What about the Vector?!?

did you mail it? i still havent recieved it... when i get it i will begin immediately.

?!?.....................D'oh!..................... ................ $#!^.................................... What's your address again?

Thaught you were just going to work on the Vector M12 after the Ford Extreme

ford extreme?? whats that?

I think it's some sort of Ranger made by Ford maybe? And, I don't recall anything about you asking Spanky to make a Ford Extreme... Might just be me though :p

i thought that chevy made the extreme... the s10 extreme.. ford makes the tremmor, and the lightning... i have made attempts at the chevy s10, but all have come up looking bad so i have scrapped all attempts.. i will be attempting again soon..

has anyone seen the new chevy silverado SS.... it has the 6.0l V8 pumping over 345 hp. and its all attached to a AWD system on some nice 18" wheels.... im not much of a fan of the chevy but this one looks ok... im more of a 4x4 man.. not much for street trucks, espically the extreme..

Sorry I bad I ment the Chevolet Extreme.....Oh Spanky try the Ford lightning out that is cool. I'm a fan also of the Espace F1

That's what you wand molded? I can tell just by the pic that it is made by Chevy..... Bleh. :p

:mad: It's the RENAULT ESPACE F1 its a realy fast mini van. Chevy couldn't make a even half as fast as this car.

Meh, still don't like it, it's ugly :p

dodge makes a pretty fast van. only if you do after market stuff to it. this dude has one. it beat a Chevy Camaro SS in the quarter mile. This dodge caravan has a hemi V-8 and a twin turbo. pretty fast i'd say.

P.S. renault sucks, all french cars suck
