Here is the painted 55 Chevy body BoLink used in all of the advertisements for it. I've had it tucked away for a number of years now and decided to take it out to snap some pics. It was painted by Motion Graphics who reached a level of fame during their run.
Pictures aren't the best as it was getting dark out but you get the idea. It doesn't show up well but the windows are a translucent turquoise color.
Man, that's a sweet paint job, evokes memories of the real hot rods of that era. I have a '57 Chevy body--I believe it was from Parma, but could've been BoLink--from 25-ish years ago that I've never painted. This makes me want to paint it finally!
Motion Graphics did a lot of the designs for racers in California. I ended up doing quite a few of them for racers who wanted to have them done locally after moving to Florida from Cali.
Soon after I posted these pictures I ended up selling the body. I didn't necessarily want to but I was never going to do anything with it because I couldn't bring myself to put holes in it. I rather see it be mounted and enjoyed then to keep it tucked away for any longer never to see the light of day. You know what I mean?
On the Plus side I now have a Motion Graphics painted Futaba FXT stadium truck body.
For a while there in the early 90's I feel like every other paint job in RCCA was a Motion Graphics body.
I mean, growing up in Western NY, that was the only paint guy I knew off the top my head, all from his exposure in that magazine. And I never knew that Andy's bodies were actually painted by a single person named Andy! I just thought it was the name of a company.
I think the factory body that you can get is a ford body......although the team version was a chevy body, at least that was what I think I saw, possibly on the manual?
anyone know of a decent chevy body that would fit on the T3 that is still...

Now this is cool a prime example of statistics and road deaths..if we still drove cars like those built in the 50's the road tolls would be much higher..

Ouch. I like how the steering wheel pretty much hit the dummy in the teeth.
So I get asked fairly regularly about Bolink bodies that fit the Team Associated RC10DS.
So if nobody is offended I thought I would post in this section the official list that Bolink had on fit for RC10DS. Some are bodies made by others. Some I...

Updated the list at the start of this thread. These bodies for DS are available now, require the lower kit though.
BL2271 96 Raven
BL2275 97 Pointer
The only one we have left is the BL2276, but it needs major repairs to the rear spoiler. So not...
I'm new on here, but not to RC10s in general. What a gold mine of information for RC10s this website is! :mrgreen:
I have this old sprint car body for RC10 from Bolink. I don't remember the part number for this particular body, so I'd...

Thank you for the links! I'm not sure if they are the exact same body, but I'll e-mail them a picture to ask. I need to take a picture, and maybe to put it up in this thread too. I think there might have been a couple different model bodies from...
Hi guys I have one of these Bolink open cockpit TOJ bodies but was wondering if they have driver figures for these or are they meant to not have anything there.
Thanks

They were supposed to have a driver figure fitted within the racing rules. There were driver figures available but where you can get them now i've no idea.
