What size rc car do you guys build? Would like to get some friends to start doing this! Any information on how to build, or a site to visit would be greatly appreciated. X2!! From what I gather the bodies just take time to layout and then pop rivet for sale, etc signs together which is I gotta believe is tricky but pretty straightforward. When I first read the duct tape and cardboard I was a little hesitant since I didn't think it would fold like a real car but the pictures seem to prove me wrong, at least to an extent. Was more curious as to what chassis you guys like to run or what lends itself well to this but from the looks of it you build custom frames and just mount the hardware. May have missed it in the rules but what do you make the frames out of?

When I built my wagon all I was basically building was a body. Due to a couple broken parts, I fabricated some rear control arms, rear shocks, and front shocks. My car bent pretty much the way I intended, but the Orange and black one actually went "down" so to speak. Don't have alot of money into these. mainly do it for fun.

OK first question what RC car do you start with to get your parts from your front end in your rear end do you start with a RC from Walmart or do you start with a hundred or $200 RC get your parts from also what size batteries do you run those kind of things and do you have demolition with just Walmart off the shelf cars if I'm trying to get people interested in it I kind of need to know those minor things thank you
