hummmm, the only sight that first comes to mind is rctech.com. Just open up the forums and look under the paint catagory. There is alot of paint schemes for all applications (1/10, 1/8th, etc.... ). There is another painter by Kolors by Kropy. He's does alot of 1/8th scale paint jobs. I believe he has a website, but I don't have the URL.

Man this body is so nice... I hope that it continues to sell so it doesn't go the way of the do-do like some other unmentionable third party GT bodies...

I did get to take some HOT laps with the body. I would say it ran and handled very good. I rounded off the front corners a little. No sticking in the walls. Looking good!

Got mine today. No time or paint, so no work done to it... I may run it blank on Saturday (unless somebody else has it, then I will use some electric tape to make it distinguishable). I plan to round the front corners a little as well.

Hey guys, just got from back the track and thought I would drop in here a little review of the VDS shell. From the ENZO to the VDS with the same set up but now with just the different front offset and VDS body I was able to shave .2 of a second from my previous lap record. Here is some characteristics of the body that I found from the ENZO to VDS, much quicker/more aggresive turn in, smooth mid corner and exit the rear is PLANTED. It is also very consistant from lap to lap, a very good all around body. This thing is way beyond DIALED! One word of advice though, the front end is very weak and will crack easily if you are running on an Ozite track with wood barriers, my friend broke his on his first pack of batteries. Luckily mine is still in great shape.

I had a chance to run the body last night as well. At my track we are restricted to only use the body in the mod class. I cant really complain, because that is the best place for this body anyway. I shaved a little off the sides of the body with a dremel because it would scrape a little during turns. With that solved, this body hooks. I had a pretty good setup with my car in my Enzo body. With this body, I clearly had the best car on the track. I broke one of the side clips after running the whole night, but besides that, these was no damage. If you graze a wall on RCP, it will catch and spin you around.

Had a chance to run body at our gtg. Put it on my maclaren set-up with no changes. Hooked up very well. I had rounded the front corners also. Had no trouble catching on walls. I just decaled body. Held up well except scuffs. Might be able to clean them off? Maybe clear coat next one. One thing i can say is if someone wipes out or you get into them, in front of you, it scoops right under them like a plow.
