Some good stuff there but I guess it is for all chassis not just WHP's own products. Nothing recent either, I guess there is not the demand.

I'll get some, just gotta find someone to paint em up!
Thanks for the link, long time since I gave Bob Lincoln my money!!

Hmmm, most lexan bodies are very interchangable. I guess I'm not sure what exactly you are looking for. The lexan bodies that come with the Storm aren't bad for racing, but they are kind of plain looking and are too low above the crown gear area. If you run a BSRT 23T (or larger) gear with the stock Storm body the gear will rub on the underside of the body.

Ed Pleadwell does nice painting

Jay Jaap of Holeshot painting comes to mind. He does very nice work.

I painted a few bodies but mostly I have a friend paint the ones for shows and such.If you like, I have a few photos in my gallery of the painting he does from hard bodies to lexan.
Jay of holeshot is good.He does some very nice work.
The wizzard bodies some comes with window mask now. They fit all the racer chassis.

Pretty much any lexan or PPE HO body will fit a range of cars with a standard body pin mount set up. Pre-made Tyco and SG+ chassis's with glued body tubes will have the same mounting points and wheelbase as a Wizzard chassis. The Slottech Panther uses unique mounting points though that are canted so those bodies would not be interchangable.

Thanks for all the replies guys!

I know real racers won't care, but Parma has started remaking some of the classic 70s stock cars in Lexan. The remakes include a 71/72 Charger, 70/71 Cyclone, 71/72 Roadrunner, and 72 Chevrolet. These bodies look almost exactly like AFX bodies, which makes them a bit larger than most magnet car racers want for getting the last little nth degree of lightness. But I use them on older race chassis like P3s/X2s that I only run on my home track. They sure beat the heck out of stock P3 bodies in looks and are a lot more fun to run. In fact, if everyone runs this style body in a race with the latest state of the art chassis it's still a competitive race and nicer to look at than some of the blobomorphic lexan bodies that are valued for lightness over looks. These bodies are extremely lightweight compared to hard plastic bodies. I can't really tell the difference of a few milligrams or whatever the difference is between these and some of the "fastest" bodies. At home, ugly doesn't cut it.

I'm adding a Storm class at our club but I'm going to write the rules so that blobs are not allowed.
