RE: aston martin vanquish
Mmmm that would make a great body to put on an RC. I havent seen any purpose built lexan ones, but I'm sure you can find a plastic one from a toy RC car or something and adapt it for use on a hobby grade. Toy RC cars frequently have really nice detailed scale bodies

Check that one out, if you painted it nicely it would look great. Problem is, it seems you'll have to get the car too. It's probably just some cheap chinese import nitro, but you might be able to get a decent radio system, servos, etc out of it. May or may not be worth it to you.

Proline makes a DB7 vanquish, it's the closest thing, it's hard to find these days, but it's a beautiful body and optimised for racing, as all proline bodies are. It's 190mm though, so it's for the electrics.
EDIT: My mistake, apparently there's a 200mm version too, this is the only place I can find them... http://www.*********.com.au/store/ad...d81977&x=0&y=0

Yes, if you do, then it's 1/8th (not 1/10th as the OP asked), and besides, it's awful, it's like a cartoon. Sad, but true. This is what a DBR9 should look like.

It already sees off the Maserati MC12 on a regular basis, which is an enzo in a different dress. And while it's very cool looking, the Aston is just stunningly beautiful.

RE: aston martin vanquish
lol, I didn't even expand the image I thought it was GT dressed up enzo the way he was going on, and I know he's a ferrari fan, so I just assumed, easy mistake to make (look at those front wings/fenders without expanding the image, they are a little 'enzoesque'[sm=red_smile.gif][sm=red_smile.gif][sm=red_smile.gif] lol).
Zonda's not that pretty, it's a beast, very cool looking, but not beautiful, same goes for the enzo while we're on the subject.

Something like this? To be honest though, I still prefer the Aston, but the lambo is very pretty too.

RE: aston martin vanquish
I think 200mm be to small for what i want it for. I want it to fit this.

I made the Stampede a lowrider (shorten the springs and such did a few mod's.) So it sits really low plus i have custom rim's. hehe

So you want to mount a supercar body on a monstertruck? [&:] 190mm and 200m bodies will have no difference cause the wheels won't fit exactly the cuttings anyway.

RE: aston martin vanquish
I want a Koenigsegg CCX or one of it's variants. A RUF Porsche, or a Fisker Tramonto would also be a nice rc body. A Fisker Tramonto looks similar to Aston Martins. Probably because Henrik Fisker designed them... I have also had a thing for Spyker and Tesla. A Tesla body would be great for todays brushless cars!

CCX is one of my favorites too...I was wondering if any company makes one for 200mm cars.
