THEIR BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were requested, now they are back in full scale production. Body's formerly done by Bolink are now "WINDTUNNEL BODY WORKS". Murdock R/C & Performance has officialy entered the body business. I have (in case you hadn't heard) aquired what remained of bolink/racetech which did include the body business. All current bodies are once again in full scale production. I am very excited to have been able to bring back this line of bodies for my fellow oval racers. The current line up will consist of: The 1/12 Monte Carlo #2038, HD Monte Carlo #2222, Reg Monte Carlo #2242, Ford Taurus #2241, Ford Taurus XHS #2249, D Type #2235, D Type HD #2214. These bodies have been very popular in the past and I hope that they will be again now. But, Im not stopping there. The next generation body's are already on the drawing board to further compete in the high speed oval racing of today.

The website has been updated to include the Windtunnel bodies and their part numbers in the hobby shop section. I would also like to Thank Steve Rule for working with me on this project. Thanks SR

Great news, the best tires paired with the best bodies. :thumbsup:

Nothing like the shortest guy in the pits telling some one to behave! LOL


ERIC is not short.. He is Vertically Challenged..Definitely the tallest midget Ive raced against.. LOL :p

Cool deal on the bodies Rob.. I know we talked the other day about it.. Whats the recommendation for long smooth flat track??

beero I think that you are going to want the Ford Tauras if you are talking for Classic?

Erock I can learn from my mess-up you can't do any thing about not seeing over the drivers stand! LOL

Brooks

I really appreciate all the support shown here and by email everyone. Thank you

Kenwood: out of the current line up the HD Monte or either of the D Types will be your better choice on flat carpet. I myself have had real good success with the HD D type.

For Tracks such as classic, sandhills, K&N for example I know the Taurus #2241 is a great choice.

Rob @ Murdock R/C

way to go rob and steve, i have bought up all the old bolinks i could find its great to know that i dont have to scroung around for them any more, and that they will remain the same:thumbsup:

Rob @ Murdock R/C

Rob are you going to the sandhills race??? You got me thinking about it the other night..I think I might make the trek out.. So Ill probably be talking with you about a banked track taurus here soon if I can clear dsome vacation thru work. :)

Way Cool Rob, glad to hear the Bolink body has come back to RC Racing!!! One question, is the D type the Dodge? I will assume, but just askin'. Thanks, I will be placing an order very very soon! Jim Beachley

d types is a dodge, its called d dype due to never getting it aproved to use the dodge name..that body rocks

My entry forms are going out this week for the ovalmasters kenwood. Hope to see you there.

The D type is the Dodge style body

Rob @ Murdock R/C & Performance

looked at thes ite.. no prices.. whats the owrd on cost ROB.. Is steve still pullin the bodies for you?? i had heard from him a while back he was selling the stuff, but doing the work..

Hey a price would be nice wouldnt it. They are going to be $16.50 each at this time and available through us here at the shop.

If anyone would like to get an order in feel free to do so but the first wave is due in here on Thursday. I did have a limited number of them here already but as of today they are all gone. 1/12th MC, hd D type, Taurus, hd Monte are due in this week and the others should roll in the next week sometime. Window mask will not be in the first batch but will be on the next. We felt that getting them going and out to the drivers as quickly as possible was the first priority.

Rob @ Murdock R/C

I have a question, will you also be producing the older / nostalgia bodies? We run a spec class & require 70's & earlier bodies & Bolink used have some great older cars & now they are next to impossible to find. Hopefully you will be bring those back as well? Thanks.

The Oval bodies will be the main focus at this time.

Rob @ Murdock R/C

is there gonna be a 1/12 truck agn ??

You doing all new molds or just pulling from previous molds?

Kenny@RAPTOR

Everything is listed in my first post that will be available at this time. And as I mentioned there, the next generation of bodies is already on the drawing board.

Rob @ Murdock R/C & Performance

Hey Rob

Are you going to have any plans on re-submitting these back to ROAR for approval? And if so are you aware of the changes that will have to be made in order to do so?

-Monti-

Yes, I am aware of it

So These Bodies Are Not Legal To Run At Roar-arcor Events Yet?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Rob Murdock;

Are you also aware of the wonderfull new world of: "Officially Licenced Products" and the co$t$ involved?
Please don't interpret this message as something to intimidate. Certainly not my intention - I thrive on fair competition. It's just that the game has changed drastically in the last few years. Just wanted to make sure you enter this venture with your " eyes wide open".

Dale - PROTOform

DALE EPP-PROTOform;

I appreciate your interest in Windtunnel Body Works. Im Knowledgeable in the licensing of products through one of my other businesses and what is involved. And my eyes are wide open and fully aware of the details and cost involved. I look forward to friendly competition with you in the body business.

Rob Murdock @ Murdock R/C & Performance

For those of you wondering about approval with the R/C sanctioning bodies. All sanctioning bodies involved have been contacted for re-introducement under the new name. We have them on a fast track for approval and the sanctioning bodies have been most cooperative. Since this is only a change in manufacturers and this body is being re-introduced and since the physical specs have not been changed under which it was previously sold, the 30 day rule should be waived.

Rob @ Murdock R/C

Best of luck to you Rob!! I am glad (as I am sure many others are also) to see the bodies back out on the market. :thumbsup:

Someone asked about the Legends molds... they are for sale also if anyone wants to get into the Spec/Legends business just shot me an email at hobbyorders@aol.com

Steve Rule @ Bolink

for the next generation bodies, are you guys gonna have a built in spoiler or the molded in ont like now??? or have you not decided yet???

thanks in advance
BAR 26

Thanks Steve, You have been more than accomidating through all of this. Ill do my best to keep the bodies on the fast track a long time into the future.

Bar26 at this time everyone has expressed to keep the spoilers built in. Feel free to let me know what you would like to see and it will sure be taken into consideration.

Rob @ Murdock R/C

i dont really know, there seems TO ME that theres ups and downs to both

Built in:
-Good:
-adds strenght
-Bad
-Cant trim it down if you want

Bolt On:
-Good
-Can trim it
-Easier to paint a different color
-Bad
-Does help with ridgitity but not as good as built in

So i guess its up to yu guys!! But whatever you guys do GREAT!!! Go for it!!!
Cant wait for the next generation!!!! will probably have to try one or two!!

Guys theres 4 good body manufacturers now!!!!

Thanks
BAR 26

This was already asked, so if you already answered it I apologize.

Are you actually forming the bodies or is Steve doing it?

It's all Rob guys... I have all the molds for sale and he pick up the Oval ones... I am in the Fireworks business now, anybody need any SkyRockets, lol.

BAR 26- If you run at a track that lets you cut the back of the bodies all the way out you can trim the molded on spoilers down... just don't go to far cause you can't add it back. I always like the molded on ones because I am lazy :)

Steve I Will Second That Its Just A Whole Lot Easier!!! By The Way Long Time No See How Have You Been????

Rick K.

Rule, You have a PM........ :wave:

Hey Rick... been busy playing Mr Mom :freak: and running the eBay store. I got into a deal with a buddy of mine to set up all the firework stand for TNT in the state of SC, 144 total in 5 days! While we were driving to each one we got to kicking around ideas to start our own stands, so when we got back in town we found a place and set one up, I couldn't beleave the $$ that could be made. Now we are working on more, I am looking to have 2 of my own stands for the New Years season and trying for 5 by next July 4th. Its alot of fun, mainly getting to try out all the new products, lol.

Bjr20- The eBay store is shut down right now, I was in the middle of moving and was having to go to Kinko's for the internet, it was to big of a pain to try to keep up. I am looking into changing the name when we reopen it to get the "close out" off of it. Everyone that has bought anything for us will be getting an email next week with all the new info.

SR @ Bolink

STEVE IT IS GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU!!! WHEN I GOT BACK INTO RACING I COULDNT FIND YOU ANYWHERE, ALSO GLAD TO HEAR THINGS ARE GOING WELL FOR YOU,KEEP IN TOUCH, QUARTRMIL1@AOL.COM TALK TO YOU LATER!!!!

RICK KANSCHAT

Body decriptions

WT#2241 1/10 Taurus: Excellent choice for banked concrete and carpet

WT#2249 1/10 Taurus xhs: Primarily used on the velodrome track due to speed

WT#2242 1/10 Monte carlo: another good option on banked concrete/asphalt or carpet

WT2222 1/10 Monte Carlo HD: Great choice for flat carpet or concret/asphalt

WT#2214 1/10 D-Type HD: Great choice for flat track racing as well

WT#2235 1/10 D-Type: Flat track or banked indoor or out

WT#2038 1/12 Chevy Monte Carlo: Good for a wide variety of racing

Each of these bodies have a brief description of where to work good, each also has their own aero package that give you a great choice for a wide variety of racing. The above descriptions are only examples. Because they are all different in some way you have the option of finding the one that best suites your needs for your track and class of racing you do. GOOD LUCK

hi all:i'm very glad to see someone has bought up bolink/racetech and is rereleasing these great products.what i want to know is did murdock buy bolink/racetech just for the bodies or the race tech cars as well?finally will you be releasing any new bodies,kits or parts now that you owne bolink/racetech?thanks ;)

Thanks for the support B-man777. We did aquire some other things that will or are available already. Two things that are now also available is the Pivot ball tool for installing and removing pivot balls from front ends. Gear pullers are also available now. And real soon the Shur lubes will be back on the market with more even more choice in thickness. We are going to drop the lightest one but add at least three others. So, there will be in the near future 6 different shur lubes available for tuning your front end or damper tubes.


Rob @ Murdock R/C
