Default custom 1/16 revo truggy body

Sense there are not very many body options for the mini revo and I want a truggy style body I decided to make one, so far I have the basic shape of the mold cut and sanded out of a block of wood. I still have work to do to it before it will be ready but thought I would share it. Also have to order some lexan but here is a pic of it so far.

Looks like Dutch roller skates.

Kudos to you. That's really cool. IN Jr. High (dark ages) We actually had a plastics class. Learned how to vacuum form sheet plastic. I should have paid more attention.

You might have a market, if that thing turns out right.

That looks so great! You should make a vacum former, and then sell the bodies on ebay! I know i would buy it.

so my plan with this thing is to vacuum form this mold out of lexan, then to take the cast fill it with plaster so that i can carve in more detail sense the wood is so hard to work with.
