R/C 1972 Blazer Body?? Or Truck body?? USA-1 origanal Monster Truck R/C??
 
Does anyone know if there is a 1/10 scale 72 Blazer or Truck body?? I'm getting a USA-1 body air brushed, in the origanal USA-1 fashion. I'm going to have my Kyosho USA-1 in a R/C magazine artical soon, and want a 72 body on it. Here's a picture of my Racer now with a cheezy stadium body,

If you find one, let me know. I've been looking for one for my truck for about 2 years now.

This is one truck with different wheel/tire combo and different body.

Those aren't USA-1 Nitro wheels that I have on the middle pic. They are something oddball, don't even think they are made anymore. AWESOME pic in the water, gotta love that.

The T-Maxx is a little heavy but it doesn't stop me from catching air. I'll see if I can find a pic flying.

You need to get a USA-1! LOL they can be made very light, and very stong, and fast, for allot lease money than you have in that T-Maxx, people just don't give it a chance.

Nice photos! You ever considered the extended plastic arms to cut some weight?? RPMS???

I had thought about it but decided to go ahead and weigh it down with all that aluminum I hav on the suspension. It definitely has a lower center of gravity now and doesn't roll as bad. With the realy realy wide tires, it doesn't roll over at all.

I think I went more for the show than go with that T-Maxx. It still runs damn good though. Got rid of the stock .5hp mill and put a 1hp Nova Rossi engine in it. It screams! Fast enough for a rookie like me anyway. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/board/ubbhtml/smile.gif

Maybe we should try another R/C body manufacture? Get everyone hear to sign something stating, they would buy a body and maybe you could premote it to other 67-72 boards?? I know allot of people here would love to make replicas of there trucks.

Hey, if there's any chance of a '67-'72 body fiting on a 190-200mm sedan chassis, it'd give me a reason to dust off the TC3 and set aside funds for it, hehe...
