aluminum body

[pudder]

i made an aluminum body, that is kinda like a mini cooper body, but this is aluminum, i made it for my tamiya mini cooper m03 chassis, it is very dirable, i mainly made it for demolition derby wiht other rc's :D it is pieces of really thin alu, and some of them are bent to form the body, they are held together wiht some meccano screws and nuts, no picutres yet, but there shuld be in a little while, it is a bit bent up now, but it is able to bend back :)

dude, that is cool. Does the body affect handeling due to the weight? and how much does it weigh?

what Colour is it? this would be a good idea for a maxx, no more breaking the body!

not too heavy, it is about as heavy as 2 or 3 of the stock lexan mini bods, it doesnt affect its handling that i realized, it is a really good car, other people should try this

nitroboy, it is not painted, i just left it the silver aluminum color, but i took a straight edge and a knife, and etched the wondows and doors ect in, you cant really see them from far, but i did get lots of comments on it when i went driving it today, and it is good for demolition derbies, and if you bend it, just bent it out, i got the aluminum for free, so i can get more if i need to replace something
