Meaning like for your buggy? There's basically the WRX from kyosho.

I believe FireSprink posted that Koyosho and Ofna make them. Very pricey.

Well, money isn't really an issue here. Unless they are $60 or $70 for a clear lexan its something I can spend on.

I could just buy a 1/8th based rally car, but I already have a 1/8th scale buggy with all of the parts and quite a few spares. So I'm looking at a conversion.

The Kyosho Inferno GT bodies are around $75 unpainted, but do not include ANY decals (headlights, grills, window frames, "Sponsor" decals, etc.) The Ofna GTP bodies fit perfectly, and cost a little less, around $60, and include decals.

The Kyosho bodies are the Subaru WRX, BMW M3, and Nissan Calsonic. The Ofna bodies are Dodge Viper, Porsche 911, CLK, Maclearan and Rally Celica.

Wonder why the price hike from 1/10th scale bodies. Its not like the Lexan gets more expensive really. And they are all vacuum formed anyways.

I'll have to figure it out.
