Hey guys anyone seen this yet? Sounds like a great deal when you consider the Hammer body is around $75 and FG MT,ST,MB lexan bodies are $150 bucks or more[:@][:@]

Anomie

Wow, that does look like a great deal. Pretty freakin cheap!

frumpy

Yeah I think it's a great deal.Don't know the quality or how they look but with bodies for FG at $150 or more that kills the argument we had in another thread about not many large scales are sold compared to 1/10 and 1/8 scale[:'(] It's like who's dickin who here[:@][:@]

LOL......An FG decal sheet costs more than that. Thats a good price for sure.

these shells are pretty freaking durable. they re not impervious but hold up well. my neighbor took his baja, body on ofcourse, about 40 sideways into a 4x4 deck post. bent then motor brace on teh left side, broke the left side body mound, put a small hole in the shell where the clip holding the body on was pushed thru it as the mount post broke. and there was a lil paint rubbed off. no other damage. for 32.00. the price is outstanding. they are a bit thinner in design over the fg ones, but they are a very good value imo

Timmahh

bigger the better

ALL I can say is - You can buy 3-4 for the price of the MT shell.[:@] Ya, there is less plastic involved , but they still had to make the molds and you know thats where the money is. DANG![&:]

I thought I remember tower having it for $29 or around there. I tried tower, but all I could find right now is the two side body panels.

Paul, put # 7560 in the search at Tower and it will show the clear body for 28.99. Not in stock yet but I put one on backorder.

I thought it was on there. Well, what is the differance between the two, other than the fact the other is available now.

I already have the new clear body[sm=wink_smile.gif], starting too paint the front end , the clear body is better, then the stocker I think it is thicker. I'am also working on painting the wheels also I have 1 painted up so far, just have too add a clear coat yet, too see how it how hold up. It will look really sweet with my new alloy beadlocks..... but the rim is bashed up, it is a test rim only[:'(] I will post pics soon

It's a complete un-painted clear body, you get the main body and nose and the 2 lower side pieces for $28.99.

The other link is just the 2 lower side pieces that are pre-painted.

and you also get a complete decal kit and alittle catalog/flyer type thing, well worth the 28.00. I have 2 more comming from tower...I bought my first body from ebay

That's what I mean, why get it off ebay since it is less than the ebay one. Well, other than the fact I saw right now it is on back order right now, and the ebay one is available.
