Does anyone have this car or seen it?

I am a huge fan of the F-1 and would love to own one. Being that I love to build custom RC's I have been interested in the F-1 body or just use most of the car but upgrade the suspension and drivetrain and anything else it might need to really perform.

Please let me know thanks

its junk... i've seen it in a store... got excited too but, i got within 2 feet of it and new it was CRAP...

If it's not too much, you could use it as a model for fabricating your own.

Seen it before. It's nice for the price. Would be fun to play with in a large parkinglot with a few buddies.

Exactly, I would basically copy the cheap parts into aluminum and Delrin. I figure I could at least use the body.

So far I cannot even find these bodies on largescalerc.com or any of the others.

I don't remember what the body was made out off. Seen one at the LHS once and the other at the fleamarket. It's a giant toy, nothing more. Even if you make your own chassis, the body is still worth the price. Heck, some painted bodies allready cost $80+. Our toys are $600+ right. So I don't see a problem with spending less on something different and still have fun with it.

the body is hard plastic... think of something you get at radioshak
