Vaccuformed or Lexan Bodies?
I was messing around with my Xmod this afternoon and decided to run it around the living room with the body off. Without my Supra body on, it drove like an entirely different vehicle. It was noticably faster, to say the least. I know that the RS bodies tend to be a bit on the heavy side, but I didn't realize how much until now.
Does anyone know someone or have access to a vacuuform machine or know some other way to develop an extremely light, yet durable body? I was thinking that Lexan would be the best thing. Granted, one would probably need to install some foam on the front as a bumper (much like 1/10 onroad R/C cars have). But imagine the weight that you would save. Nevertheless the sick paintjobs that you could do and they would always be SHINY!
Just a thought to throw out there and hopefully touch an eyeball of someone who knows someone.
