RE: R/C suggestion

Well, inexpensive to have Bolink make a new mold, it ain't.  But for those
of you that want a 1/10th mk1, or any mkII's, the cost for a custom mold is
$5,000.00. 

Sorry guys, but I'm not getting in the middle of that one :)

Larry Fry spake thusly:

     Would it be any worse than the body that is up for auction on ebay? 
Although the nicer the better, I think as Scirocco fans, many of us would
accept something that looked even vaguely like a Scirocco.

     My point was that I wasn't aware of any commerically available 1/10
Mk.1 or *any* Mk.2 RC bodies.  So if we were going to have bodies fabbed,
why not some that aren't available anywhere?  All this is assuming that it
can be done at reasonable cost.  If you could carve up a decent master, I
think there would definitely be interest.  Larry, you may have just
unwittingly volunteered yourself--better get your carving tools ready.  :)
