hey all, need some oppinions. i made up this new edm body to fit on the 1/18 trucks. i wanted a good functioning body as well as a eye apealing. problem is trying to get the scale "look" of the body is hard wit these chassis demension.

here are some pics of the prototype.i have a template for em if people do like em,they will be offerd for sale.

note this is just sitting on my offroad 18t. not mounted yet.

lmk what ya think good or bad. to me it looks to short but if i make it any longer then the wheelbase dont look rite.

Yeah a little tall if you made it a little shorter I think that would help with your thought on the longer issue just my 2 cents looks good though

Too tall and too short behind the rear tire. George, the #1 on the counter @ FR is a McAllister interior with .20 lexan that I bent. A group of us ran these @ the Hobby House, and the Monroe County club over the winter. (carpet tracks)

yea, it is to tall. i just got done looking at it after not working on it all day. prototype, lol...thats what this one is.

legend, i was looking at the ones at fountian thursday. i make latemodel bodies and see how popular the edm minis are so i wanted to get into that side as well.

thanks for your thoughts guys.

well g rod, that was kind of the principle behind it. i know the 1/10 bodies work better when made a bit taller so.....

Good one I left myself wide open for that one! Which one of you guys who race at Walts makes the a/m chassis for the xxxt? I had spoke with him but he was having problems with material for mfg it. I would like to buy one if you could pass the info along.
