So after a good weekend camping i found my new body blowing around in the yard (even though i stopped my mail

) so no damage done i have a few Qs did the body have the back cut out to match the original car and do any of you know if i can get decals for this nice ride ?
regards Paul

I'm not sure about the cutout. But if you can't find decals,
www.discountrcdecals.com can make them. I just got a set for the old Roger Mears Bud Nissan from the mickey thompson race series. He has really reasonable prices and can make custom stuff. The quality was great.

I have that body and the decals. I can maybe do a scan of the decals but they won't stand out to well as they are all white and the background is an off white if I remember correctly. I'll go dig them out and see what I can do unless someone else has a set to sell.

that would be great im itching to start the paint job i still unsure weather to cut the back as the road car or leave it and im still looking for my first pan car to i have been spending a lot of time doing my research
i like the genX10 but i think it would be a hand full and i would wait till the 235 came out if i did

I have the mcallister body and it came with the "nissan decals". I am just going to use coverite graphic's for the numbers. The body has cut lines in it between the body and wing. I havn't recieved it yet but I think the rc10l I posted in "my first pan car" has the mcallister body also.

Here is the european 235mm conversion, although the motor is not centrally mounted, it gets rid of the option CRC Hub extensions (that kill your bearings, and balance). I will get you more info from the guy that is making the pod plates. Hope it helps a bit.

Put your parts in a plastic sandwich bag when you strip them & hose them down with the stuff, it'll work much better. That way the Easy Off won't evaporate as fast. Trust me, it works great!
