I have been trying to make a SVX body for a while now. Not working and draining money into an R&D for now.
Perhaps we should combine forces. L

Admittedly I know little about this, but I have seen vacuum formed pieces made before in a kitchen setting. Is the problem getting a SVX body for the mold making?
I don't have one to offer, just wondering how one goes about this. |

Chances are the mold of the SVX needs to be carved out of something... like clay... sort of like making a real car...

Who here has one of John's (AKA John 19688) model SVXes? The "old timers" here will remember his efforts to market a finished or unfinished 1:24 scale metal SVX. I know he delivered a few. I ordered a finished one at the time, but he said he was overwhelmed, & asked if I would settle for an unfinished one. I agreed, but then John dropped out of sight, & to my knowledge, hasn't resurfaced. Anyone else hear from him? Ron.

I don't care about the calendars though. I do wish those SVXes are a little bigger than 1:64.

Ron, Lwin,
I called John's number several times. I left messages for him. No response. I hope he's ok.

I will see what i comeup with i am thinking 1/10 lexan so either 190mm or 200mm wide. The paint goes on the inside of the body and the paint will really shine. I will see whati can find out, may not be happening though.

Hey, Les. Post the wheelbase and width info of the R/C chassis you would intend to use. I take it it would be an AWD electric model. This project has me intrigued and I just might make the body model to do the vacuum molding on. I will also do some research on vacuum molding. I've been waiting to get a Microsizer with a Skyline body that I can modify to look like an SVX but a 1/10 AWD SVX might be even more fun. How much do you know about the 1/24th scale AWD R/C cars? Such an SVX animal might be easier to produce and afford. I hear they are great performers and look like a blast! Let me know those specs and I will PM you as things go

A local shop sell 1/10 ratio 180-200 mm RC bodies for around 15-25 each. I have 2 bodies for my AWD electric RC car. Been looking out for a SVX like body so that I can modify eversince for about a year and half now.
