[Petty43]

I made a nascar body for my traxas slash. Couldn't,t find one so I made one. Would love to show some pic but don't know how? Petty43

If you use Tapatalk, you can load it as a file right from a phone.. I believe Parma makes a Monte Carlo body that you could use to make retro NASCAR body

Not sure on sending from my phone but I will figure it out. I don't need a NASCAR body I already have one. It was made to fit on the Traxxas slash. I vacuum formed about 30 of them so far.

In order to post pics you need a hosting site. Tap a talk app is the easiest way

I'm interested in a Nascar body for my LCG slash. Let's see some photos

Parma? Are you thinking about the 87 Monte Carlo by JConcepts?

By the OP’s screen name, he probably wants a Plymouth or Pontiac...

[Petty43]

I got lots of photos of my nascar bodys. Wish I could sent you one. I got tired of looking for one on line. So I make my own. And my bodys are made to fit the traxxas slash.

Is your wheel wrench on a "drill"? How do you have it attached to that thing?

[Petty43]

Thanks for posting my photos of the car bodies that I made. That was awesome thank you

Unnecessarity accomplished!


In all honesty, I wish I had a set of allen bits.

That's pretty sweet. I think Parma also did a Monte body for the slash. JC version looks great.

I love the Monte Carlo body.

[rag6]

I owned a 6 cyl '81 Monte. Dropped a sb400 and th350 in, 15x8 corvette rally rims and an '85 ss front end on it. It was my pride and joy as a 19 yr old. I miss that car for sure.

The j-concepts body comes with Grand National decals. I'm in

Can you show how you pull the bodies?

[Squeegie]

OP: In a different thread, someone said that you can e-mail yourself your pictures. Once there, you can open the image in a different tab and copy the address to post here. I tried it and it workes.

If not, just keep sending me your pics and I’ll post them for you.

Good luck!

[Petty43]

Not sure what pull the body is. I sent in a pic of my vacuum forming equipment.

Start with talking to your wife. Will it be OK to use the oven. Lol. Measure the oven. My plastic just fits. The size the length the width Hass to be the perfect size to fit in the oven. My NASCAR bodies are bigger than any body out there, so I have to be careful. I have been thinking of making a truck body for a while.

[SpeedieGonzales]

Errr make that Mom XD Also, I think the truck body won't be super bad. It's just the slash height (Or maybe a lil taller) Just further back than the stock. How'd you carve the wood, just a huge block? Btw even if I can't do it you should still make a post.

Florida Man cares not from whence the speed comes, only that it does.

[Wavez]

Those are really cool lol. How did you make them? Delta plastik makes a nastruck body for the slash. Here’s the link if you wanna check it out: https://deltaplastikusa.com/products...e-gt-and-slash

I used a chainsaw to cut a block of wood out of a stump. Then used a angle grinder to fine-tune the body. Not the easiest thing to do but a ton of fun. My bodies aren't perfect but I love playing around. I have two NASCAR molds made from wood. I think I will turn one into a truck body. My NASCAR bodies are 21 1/2 inches long.

Well we had this insane windstorm a few weekss ago but the wood is already gone XD I could probably do a multi-part thing.

Ye the Robby Gordon one will fit stock slash w stock bumper (maybe modified posts) So I don't think it'll be much longer than yours, although as you pointed out since it's going to be taller the plastic (unmolded) needs to be longer, but I think it'll fit. Might have to sacrifice some height and tune a litt- a lot to get a good fit XD

Nice pictures and bodies...
Thanks for sharing

[SpeedieGonzales]

*ahem* how many slashes do you have, exactly?!

[Petty43]

I have 6. Two brushless

[allyeajackvk2]

very cool keep up the good work

[SpeedieGonzales]

I have 6. Two brushless

Jeez, I like the slash but holy crap XD 2wd or 4wd? I can't tell from bodies because it doesn't have that huge front fender-hole. I assume 4wd for brushless and 2wd for the rest?

I was right about at least one; the red and black one.

All my traxxas slashes are two wheel drive. Love the way they handle.

[SpeedieGonzales]

really? It just feels to sluggish in the grass for me. You do you tho, it's your money and you're not exactly running in the grass often methinks, considering the bodies you're making XD If I was rlly a nascar fan tho I would have gone with a fleet of 4-tecs.

[allyeajackvk2]

I made a nascar body for my traxas slash. Couldn't,t find one so I made one. Would love to show some pic but don't know how? Petty43

if you want a nice car body proline sells a Bugatti Chiron body for the slash

[speed01]

Where are you guys getting these parama bodys i called they but they are out of business because of covid? i have my eyes on this one !!
