Scale body conversion?
 
Has anyone put a scale body on their axe? What scale did you use?

TTT - I'm curious of the same thing!

Are there any scale bodies available for the Axe CP, or is it not worth it or available?

The AXE CP is a tough size to fit a body on, it's a 300 sized heli. I bought a blow-molded Airwolf body for mine about a year ago that was for a BCPP, it almost fits, a little narrow for the AXE CP but it could be made to fit.
A T-rex 450 body would be too large, but would give you plenty of room.

[size=3]I'm wondering about the Axe 400? I 'd LOVE to get my hands on a Cobra/Super Cobra type Fuselage,like the Thunder Tiger models,(which really look amazing,and SOUND like the Real Deals!!)aside from the tail rotor placement,which I'd probably leave the tail rotor where it is on the Axe now,It would really be COOL! Although,I think because of the Width of the heli,it would probably be better off in a Russian Sikorsky GunShip,(the Flying Tanks),which would also be COOL!
Good Luck!

Shadow, do you have links to your sources of these 300 size bodies? I haven't found much. I'd prefer a Jet Ranger body, but I'd take whatever could fit on my CPv3

I got that 300 sized Airwolf body thru HeliDirect, around 20 bucks.

I’m thinking on putting an AXE 400 into an HeliArtist A109 red, the Coast Guard from Helidirect.
