This is just another body for the formula car that I made before. This is more of a quicky. Something to beat up.

That's really cool, I like that body better than the first one?

BTW, what are you painting your Lexan with? Because I noticed the paint chipped away where you wrecked the first one, and I was gonna say, if you use a poly-carbonate paint like Pactra Racing Finish, that in my experience the body will rip in half before the paint comes loose.
...crazy man, crazy...dig it.

for lexan/polycarbonate bods you gotta use specific pc paint. i've used pactra without a hitch and they got all the cool colours and metallics etc.
tamiya also make a pc range. my local hobby shops even sell pc paint in bottles for airbrush, etc.
i used to be cool
