i'm going into production.
I called Cliff Lett last week. The last time I called him, it took about 2 weeks for him to call me back. Understandably so, he is a very busy man. If and when he calls me back, I'll ask him what the status is on the all the bodies not marked discontinued at Tower. Any other questions any one can think of, let me know and I will ask.
He's an idiot. Comes from upbringing. His parents are probably idiots too.
I really wanted a new RC10T or T2 body as mine is over 12 years old now not in the best shape, bloody things are discontinued and a T3 body won't fit properly.
I'm also pissed off you can't even get a B3 body anymore. Or full width & diameter B3 wheels. Or the 2 degree toe rear arm mounts that I broke one of the other week. Thundertiger FTL
what about sending one "open letter" to associated signed by all us active forum members. i'm pxxx off.
ok in the end it is not that bad at all:
we still can buy plenty of that citroen xsara bodies by associated. tower has 3.000 zillions of them in stock. i assume ae makes tons of cash with their new line of bodies. as everyone knows: we are all suckers for the citroen xsara. i fell in love with that awesome body the first time i saw it. doesn't citroen have large market share in the usa? all american gear heads love citroens right? i'm gonna try fit it my rc10. pics will follow...

I think AE is really letting us down by discontinuing the protech II body. Check ebay...almost all the rc10s for sale are NAKED! Where are the bodies going to come from if they don't make anymore? I hope they come through with the viper and protech I.
Does anyone know if the b3 body fits on the gold pan/graphite car decently? I kind of like it, and it's readily available...
I got both B2 and B3 bodies, I think they are too narrow in the front when I set them on my Gold pan
But you really have...
Are there any sources for the Protech body anymore? It seems certain to me that AE is no longer going to produce any of the rere vintage parts anymore including the Protech bodies. I saw that Andy's is offering painted ones on ebay, but not sure if...

Yep Doug
I also have one at the bottom center of the front windshield.
I have been looking around for a Protech body, but I can't seem to find them anywhere. Have they been discontinued by AE? These cars are getting harder to rebuild and race now that the parts supply is drying up. Anyway, has anyone heard if...

An alternative is Penguin body shells in the United Kingdom. Their reproduction bodies are really good and in some cases better quality than originals. Schumacher ;P
The person to contact is Steve Haskins either on Facebook or ebay user haskins2004.
Chris (The A in Team A&L) has a bunch of lexan ordered and has been getting the molds ready. It won't be long until we see some new old bodies for the first time in many years. He also has many Losi and Traxxas molds since A&L were the producers of...
Anyone ever noticed a roman numeral molded into the early Protech 6160 bodies? I just looked at two of them and I believe them to be early bodies. One of them has a II and the other has a IV. First time I have noticed this. It is hand scribed in the...

I checked out my edinger and cadillac kits. My edinger definitely has the IV on it. The cadillac body looks like it has a III on it. I don't think pictures would clarify it anymore because it is so subtle.
I tried searching and didn't come up with what I was looking for, so... For anyone who has an original body and the new re-pop protech's, what are the main differences?? Are they thicker? Any help would be Great!
Thanks!

Terry, what are this weeks winning NY Lottery numbers? I'll totally hook you up with some sweet r/c stuff if you let me know. :wink: If only I knew what they were I wouldn't need be hooked up with anything would I? :lol: :lol:
Hey guys, I just got an Associated Protech body from Tower Hobbies and couldn't help but notice that it was not very clear. It almost has a foggy look to it. Is this how they come now? I have some older Protech bodies and they are much clearer. Any...

The guy at the hobby shop said that you can use any lacquer to cover the fastcolor. I washed the body real well, but I didn't let it sit for very long after applying the fastcolor. I only allowed the fastcolor time to fully dry. Thanks for the help....
