My upcoming projects.

Here are my first major Xmod projects. I picked up some clear lexan bodies, and I'm going to try and mount them to the Xmod chassis. I plan on mounting and utilizing some mounting towers like you would find on 1/10 scale cars.

Hopefully you can see the bodies enough in the pics to make them out.

The first one up is a Corvette. The body is a little long, but I think I can cheat enough when I cut the wheel wells out. The width is perfect though.

Next is a Saleen GT1 race car. This body is the right lenght and is flat on the side, so I can cut the wheel wells wherever I want. The body is a little wide, but I have some good wheels in mind that will let me make the width up.

They are actually for 1/24 scale slot cars, they didn't have 1/28. The owner of the shop took the dimensions of my Xmod and is going to try and locate bodies that will fit.

that's cool BC, hey, if he finds some bodies that fit, see if he'll sell us some too

bc the best way i found to mount these boddies is with brass tubes and slot car body pins "the pins fit into the brass tubes:D

nah, you don't ant holes- make a bracket out of L shaped alumimum from the hardware store, and use velcro to hold it on.
It may be a little heaver than the metal or plastic rods and pins, but it'll look beter-
plus if you are good with a dremel, you can make the brackets adjustable for different bodies.
