After market bodies
Would like to see some after market mfg's produce some DIRECT FIT bodies for the Microsizers and Bit.Some American made muscle like the Corvettes or Mustangs would be nice.Some of us older Dads that have these things need more than the highly tuned import bodies.H/O lexan is good but the fit just isn't the same.I see an opportunity here for injection molders to make some money on the popularity of the tiny R/C craze we are in the middle of. Parma or Bolink are you listening?

Has anybody found muscle car bodies yet? I have a subaru wrx with giant tires on the back. ( Biohazard posted a few pics). I know the car is a cartoon but it might be better with a rear wheel drive body on it. Maybe a '69 camaro or a 50's pickup, just not a 4x4 like the subaru. I'm working on moving the rear wheels further inboard for a true pro street look and the right body would be great motivation. Thanks for any help!

I went and Modified an old 56' Chevy Stock car to fit on a Bit, but it just doesn't look right.

Amen brother! I could use a Hemi 'Cuda or a Super Stock Dart to replace my cute little Japanese bodies! How about some American stuff that isn't a Hummer or some lame SUV!

I guess I'm the first to disagree with people here, but I prefer import bodies. I like how Japanese and German manufacturers make their cars look.
I'd take a stock RX-7 anyday over a blown 5.0 stang.

well, i'm impartial to the whole import/domestic thing, because i have a love for both.however, i would like to see some old old school bodies, like some chopped 40's merc's or t-buckets, or old 3 window coupes.

Well im making a dodge charger (70') and it will be mass produced. heres what im starting with. i will post again in a few days with more info on the project. i also have a few other cars that im making. and all of them are being designed to fit directly on the bits with no velcro or 2 sided tape. i am assuming that the first few may be a bit close on the fit, but i plan on dialing in the fit. with the first few that are made.
also when i get the final bodys ready i will post so that everyone that wants one can get one.
i am doing the charger so that i can make the general lee. what were some other rods that people want?
i am also thinking trying to do a roadster (i want to do a 32 ford)
what are your thoughts?
