what testing the bodies went through
I put these bodies throught the ringer. Including running my booster car at the street dreams 2 car event in Detroit from 8am to midnight for two days (lotsa bumping and banging, racing). Also hit lotsa stuff. THe bodies stay on well. Unfortunately the booster car lost a coil for my steering after 6 months of major abuse and Im now enjoying my new WRX car I got from Tiny rc.com (fast shipping by the way).
The painting and cutting process......The cutting takes no real time at all. The painting process can be brutal if you are a perfectionist. If not it can take like no time at all, but it will look it. I myself am not a painter, but they turned out ok. Mind you my test cars are now pretty beat up from concrete scrapes ect ect. But they all still fit and stay on and even look ok (if a little tired). SO in a nutshell the paint will look as good as you paint it, they hold up great and cut in no time.
GEt a bunch of friends to pitch in and a sheet of 8 cars wil cost you next to nuthin. And the paint adds almost no weight and yes its like running with no body.

have you read the thread?

Ok here is the deal. They attatch with velcro to the clear cover on the top of the car, fuzzy side on the car, brilly side on the body's roof. The only mod needed on the car is a thin smear of CA glue (available at any hobby store) reinforcing the clear cover to the body, so it does not pull off when you take the body off.

I have a Tamiya Blazing Star and the body for that you had to paint the inside of. It's a pretty good idea for these bodies too, you get a good gloss on top, and preserve your paint on the inside... just a thought... oh yeah, your decals have to be put on first if your going to put any on

They are also available at junkyspot.com for a very cheap price. It is only 19.99 and junkyspot is very quick. Buy from them, trust me on this.
