    Does anyone know where I can find a Ferrari lexan unpainted R/C car body? (280 to 300 mm) I'd like one for my HPI Super Nitro RS4. Enzo, 360, TR, 550, 512 boxer, etc... I can't seem to find to find one on EBAY, any ideas?

    Try Wild Bill's Hobby Shop in Irving. They have a pretty good R/C car shop and I seem to recall that they have Lexan bodies.

    Try www.towerhobbies.com
    That's where I bought my Traxxas Nitro 4-Tec. Do a search for Ferrari. IIR there was a Proline F50 GT1 1/10 body in 190mm and 200mm plus some more. They also used to be pretty cluttered throughout ebay as well. I just never got off my A$$ to buy one when I found it. :(

    <edit> Whoops, I just reread and saw you needed 280-300mm. YIKES! I can't recall ever seeing a Ferrari body that size. Sorry!

    245mm is about the smallest that can fit my chassis. A friend of mine has an E46 body on his 300mm chassis, I don't like to current body styles HPI is offering. Here are some pics of some I could put on my car but I'm not a big Lamborghini fan. I just found out though HPI's site that Tamiya bodies have a 300mm wheelbase, and Kyosho bodies have a 280mm wheelbase. With a little work I can get them to fit. I'll just have to check there sites to see what's offered.

    Bingo! Tamiya makes a Enzo in 202 mm. Great chance to make a GT/ LM version out of it. I'll just make some calls in the morning. Runs about $32.00. I'm still looking for other Ferrari bodies as well, so keep me posted.

    That Enzo will not fit your Super Nitro. It is meant for 1/10 nitro touring cars. Do you have another car that accepts 200mm? If you do, there are tons of Ferraris that will fit.
