It looks... GHETTO FABULOUS! I've only used that phrase once before, lol. It's like, I wanna make something like that. But, something more scale. I've been making paper models for quite a while now, but I can't find any 1:28th scale plans. I get all mine from Space Station 42 and download, print, and display...

ive been thinking about making a plastic body out of a 2 liter soda bottle. it would be a big loop around the batteries and electronics going from side to side then another going front to back. to protect the front and rear ends. or depending on how tough/light chicken wire is you could try using just that.

Darnit!!! You took my idea! Okay, not exactly. Mine was a little more complicated... I was gonna get some soda bottles, get the round part from the sides, use rubber bands to hold them so they roll opposite the way they are, so they'll straighten, use plans for a paper car model to shape them, fill in the gaps with putty, sand, primer, etc... Sounds like too much work for a body that will probably be totaled in one crash though.

actually if you make the soda bottle body big enough with no support it should be bouncy.

actually, if you had some clay, molded it over your body, removed the body so you'd have a mold, then put paper mache in THAT, then you could bondo it, sand it, then paint it, and no one would know it's paper mache!!!

Has anyone tried a 24 oz. Coke bottle? It should fit if you do it right, and the aerodynamics would be nuts!
