what is the deal with these bodies? they look like they are made out of thee type of plastic that was used to cover action figures on the cards.

When I was at Laguna Seca in monterey a couple of years ago I saw an early to mid 60's FORD "Contractors Special" with a utility bed. It was painted in Lunar green with a white cab (Just like Jethro!). Too bad that there were no 67-72 scale models.

Big red truck the body is for a Gas powered RC truck or car. The plastic is lexean and is painted on the inside so scratches don't show as bad and paint stays on the truck better. It is a pretty durable material and I gotta say I had fun cutting and painting mine. Just takes a little patience, and alot of ppl notice the 67-72 bodystyle.

I belive their for 1/10 scale vehicles. You cut your own mounting holes so I don't see why it wouldn't work with an electric setup.
