Default Question about bodies?

Hi

Are the buggy bodies the only style of bodies that are made for the 1/8-scale buggies? Dose any one know of any rally or sedan style bodies that are designed to fit onto a 1/8 buggy?

I'm not sure if they'd fit other buggies, but OFNA makes an 8th on road car that is pretty much an 8th scale buggy with shorter arms and on road tires/wheels. One of those may fit. Otherwise, you could look into monster truck options. HPI makes a Hemi-Cuda, among other unusual bodies for trucks. The trick will be mounting it on the car...

You have to get over the "what's made for what" thing. You can make any body fit anything with a little creativity.

Hi

You know the bodies made by kyosho and ofna for 1/8 scale cars are freaking expensive. There around $50.00 to $90.00 a piece. Does any one know of and other company that makes bodies for 1/8 cars.
