That's the same guy. I'm over in Texas so my package had a short trip! I wish he had some more bodies like that. Hopefully I'll have some peace and quiet this weekend and I can get that body trimmed out and painted. I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway.

I should have it in a few more days. I wasn't even looking to buy one but i stumbled over it and was like YES! i need that for my CRC carpet knife i won last year. Im going to paint it up like my 1/10 scale GTP body. Probably wont paint it any time soon though. Winter project lol.

I look forward to seeing yours all done! this is a fantastic build you have going!

You guys know anything about Bob stormer having the schkee bodied produced? I am on the wait list hopefully he gets more made. Perfect for a 12e as I don't want all my e's wearing the same toj body

I spoke to team bluegroove and will be sending off a few vintage bodies soon

sorry i cant help.

Thanks durb! Even though you weren't looking for that body it's good that you grabbed it. 1/12 stuff seems to be hot these days. I've been snapping up 1/12 tire donuts like there's no tomorrow. Future projects indeed.

Hopefully I can tear myself away from the 12i long enough to get the TOJ ready this weekend. I'm really excited about the 12i too.

I'm still the new guy here so I don't know anything about it either.

Which bodies are you going to send to TBG? I wish I had a McLaren M8 body for my 12i. I'll be looking to hire a pro painter for my 12i no matter which body I end up with. Know anyone?

Bob has parma pulling these from the original molds.

And the 1/12 Osella which looks a lot like a TOJ

Also the 1/10 parma osella of which I also need one!

I am sending an associated 1/12 jaguar gtp, a mrp 1/12 1983 Monte Carlo, and an associated 1/12 TOJ, possibly a 1/10 stock car too if I can remember where I stashed it

He did the SG coyote for me and totally rocked it- the material is so much better than OEM was, and I thought the lines looked crisp.

That looks good. I have a 1/10 Parma Oscella. It's in fairly good shape.

Nice! I need one in case another pro panther finds me. I have 3 of the 5 so far....I just know I'll need a body

I edited the post above, he has a 1/12 Osella now too

Oooh! I'll be ordering that 1/12 body in just a sec.

If you want that 1/10 Osella I'll send it to you. It's unsuitable for what I had in mind. The body is uncut.

I'm sure we could work something out

PM sent.

Just finished rough cutting the new body. Hopefully I'll have it refined and all ready for paint in the morning.



This car sits low enough to decapitate an ant.

I've just scored the correct motor for this car along with a set of era correct Futaba servos. Hanging around you guys has made me anal about this sort of stuff now. The body will be painted this weekend. I might post a shot of it without decals before the rest of the car is updated. Still work to do on the wing.
