Talking FC body for Radio Controlled Car

I'm gonna be running a little low on cash for the next bit, but I want to be driving an FC. Here's my plan. I'll pick up an HPI nitro R/C car and find an FC body to fit on it. Does anyone know if tamiya or any of the other big companies makes a lexan FC body that will fit a 200mm wide R/C chassis?

Unless you make one yourself, or get one from Japan (ABC makes a FC body), you won't have one

I have been looking for one about 2 years. there is a company that will custom make one but I don't think you want to pay for it. you could buy a real TII for the same price.

those ones posted earlier with the pics look cheap as hell. I like the white one with the Ferarri 360 Modena. That FC was cool as hell, and If I had extra cash I might have to pick one up myself

A plug... something to make the mold from, as in model of an FC, even if its carved out of wood.
