Hey. I saw a [link=http://www.webprostor.cz/volny_cas/autosalony2/paris1998/VW%20BUS.jpg]VW bus [/link] bodyshell quite a long time ago and I THINK it was an oldish HPI one. I can't find it anymore and was wondering if anybody knew where I could get it now? Thanks

now that sounds pretty cool! it might be worth sendin hpi an email to see if they did make it, if so ask for a part number, that will make it a lot easier to find on the net....if there are any left of course.

it shouldnt be hard to get one to go faster than a real one!! id love a shell like that, if u find one, let us know.

it's an HPI 1/12 Mini RS4 body (MINI RS4, not MICRO).
IIRC it's still around.

I emailed HPI and they did make the body but they don't make it anymore Anybody know a place to get it done for me as custom? I would vacuum form but it would be a case of asking the school to use their equipment and I'm not so sure they would let me, let alone being able to make the model for it.

Im sure that if you call some well-established hobby shops, you'll be able to find it.
