Dude, I didn't because it doesn't really matter.

80 thou is thicker than I'd probably go for a non-structural thing at this scale, we both know on these that the bed is mostly superficial. I did it as a weight saving measure, plus the body is about the thickness of plastic I used. I don't have a micrometer handy, so I can't give you real numbers.

You could use 100 thousandths or thicker and have it still be fine. You could use plastic down to like 5 thousandths, it'd be more of a pain, but it would still work. If you think the plastic you use will be too thick, just put some sandpaper on a flat surface and rub a chunk of your plastic in circles on it. Amazingly it gets thinner. If you think your plastic is too thin, laminate it. It's like women have been saying for years: Size Doesn't Matter.


Yeah, it took me a while to respond. I have other things going on in my life which have been making customizing a truck body seem incredibly insignifigant. Hopefully I'll have more time to blow on this after H-ween, but kinda doubt it. I'd love to be caught up on all my micro rc projects I'm working on, but it's just something I do to relax from the things I have to do.
