Pretty sure it's an old Bolink body. If that's the one you have, be careful with it as that's a very hard version to find (and no longer made)...

elvis · 12-17-2007, 10:10 PM

Brake fluid should do it without hurting the lexan. I have used this method many times with success.

damion289 · 12-18-2007, 05:25 AM

There is a vendor on here that makes new lexan bodies from old ones.
http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showt...t=skool+bodies

maybe he would make copies of it if there was interest. Then all who wanted one could have one. Talk to him before you damage that one

Sounds like a cool body. Got any pics?

I have a friend at Bolink who recently pulled some Lil Red Wagon body's for me from the old mold they still have. They still have most of their old molds, and will pull body's from them, if you have a big enough order.

Prime · 12-18-2007, 10:42 AM

I wonder how big of an order one would need to get those bodys made. I would love a lexan crew dually.

Dig up a pic of the body you're talking about. I'll check. I had a run of 10 Lil Red Wagons pulled last month.

mudslinger74 · 12-18-2007, 03:07 PM

Prime · 12-18-2007, 08:39 PM

Looks cool. Just for an idea of how wide it is, what axles type is it sitting over?

mudslinger74 · 12-18-2007, 08:46 PM

jugg 2 axles with rpm narrow rims and imex all terrains

pro beater · 12-18-2007, 08:47 PM

my buddy (the all knowing R/C wizzard) says it looks like an old Parma body

i'll get ahold of Parma and see if i can pull a few strings and i'll let ya know what i come up with ....

the way it worked with Bolink was it was all a Paid in full in Advance , so we should find somone to find faith in , pay pal the money to them , he can set up a Cashier's check or a MO....

ask freetime , we worked together on the Lil' Red Wagon body

pro beater · 12-18-2007, 09:30 PM

OK , Here is the E-mail i sent out to Parma

OK , Obviously you know about the latest surge in the R/C Community (Rock Crawling)

i know about 10-12 people in MN Alone that are looking for an OOP (Out Of Production) body, and it was under popular belief that your company provided sought body

i myself was allowed to enter in an arangement with the NEW bolink to have them pull a lot of discontinued
bodies

i was wondering if we could do the same with you ??

the body we are looking for is a
1/10 scale chevy crew cab longbed dually with a topper.

believed to be issued around the late 80's - early 90's

i understand that this pull would have to be paid for IN Advance with a minimum amount of bodies being ordered , can we decide on a number for a "feeler" body pull?
if demand is strong enough you could start mass producing them again , no R&D on the mold , just have to dig out the mold , blow the dust off and have them pulled

please let me know if this feasible
Thank You
