2.2 rc crawler/scaler bodyshell

[wrighizilla (Chris)]

This is a body I made for a 2.2 crawler like Traxxas TX4 or Absima Sherpa and many other rc chassis, it fit on all those rc cars that have a 320-330mm wheelbase.

it does not reproduce any existing car.

the body is made with 3mm plywood and 1.5mm wood leaf on which I then covered with 50Gr/m2 fiberglass fabric and epoxy resin.
the weight is little more than a lexan body but it is much more resistant after the resin and fabric covering. I also painted the inside with resin.
maybe some modeler passionate about crawlers could find it interesting for one of his chassis

the hood has 2 versions, in the first assembly photos you can see the first version then I chose to modify it with a simpler version.
inside the project you find both.
I described the pieces in Italian language, in any case it is not difficult to understand which parts they correspond to.

I love to see laser cut items properly finished with paint and sanding! Lovely work, thank you for sharing this. I’m sure it will be inspirationally for anyone into RC thinking about doing a laser cutter project!

thank you, now I’m making 2 bodies for the Tamiya MF01X to which I mounted 15mm wideners and 96mm wheels
the first body is quite complex, inspired by the Kurogane 95 while the second is very easy, I invented it in a few hours very spartan to take the car to the countryside without suffering if it gets scratched.

if you want the projects I can share them, they are however bodies designed to measure for a specific frame with a 239mm wheelbase
