Are you interested in a better body? I got the Robby Gorden Ford F-150 trophy truck bodies in, would anyone be interested in a newer body for your TA01/02

Did you know that when you buy a body from Tower, or any LHS you are paying twice what they are paying for that body. So for every body they sell, they can buy two to replace it.

I found a "On-line" hobby store that sells a limited number of bodies for 20% over what they buy the bodies for, and thats around 30% less that the other hobby stores.

On eBay a body this rare goes for around $40.00, and I will be selling this body for the same on eBay.

So far as the forms sales are concerned, I'm going to go with the 20% over cost, that way my next order can be bigger than this one. That is around $17.00 + shipping. (I'd like to get $20.00 for them)

If your interested, please tell me

Thanks for the offer, but Im gonna stick with the Stock body for now. I want it to be Stock for Examples sake. I DO wish I could figure out a good way get the Stickers stuck back on. They are in good shape, just the corners have come loose a bit. Anybody know a way to clean the corners off (a little dirty), and maybe a good adhesive with an easy way to apply. Im thinking of just trying to Double Sided tape them back down. Ive done some Stickers on on a couple other bodies that the sticky had "hardened", and several popped off, and it worked great. I just have to figure out how to clean these off first.

Any ideas?

In stead of post the same thing in multiple threads, I am assuming for multiple exposure, could please just post a hot link to your thread in the BST Forum. "Go there" or "See this" I think that would be sufficient on it's own. Any questions, please let me know. Thank you sir.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.

Thanks man! Yeah, its Shaft Drive. Just waiting to get Bearings before I drive it anymore. Also want to get some 31mm, 6mm OffSet Wheels, and I gotta work on the details of the Body. Im gonna try to make it "somewhat" of a Crawler, in the long run. But for now (or at least when I get the Bearings), it'll be run as is. Cant wait (but guess I'll have to). :lol: :lol: :lol:
