I hate our domestic sedans and would love the opportunity to get my hands on a commodore or a falcon v8. I'm also into 1/10 rc, and I see that there is a source for commodore and falcon bodies in Aus. Is there a website that I could go to that I can order some shells from? Hi,

Frewer currently make a VT Commodore (which can easily be turned into a VX by cutting the centre out of the tail light sticker), and an AU Falcon. I've heard rumours that they have a BA Falcon on the way, but I haven't seen it myself yet. I buy mine from Hobby Habit (www.hobbyhabit.com.au) but I don't know if they'll ship overseas for you or not. A quick web search tells me that SpeedTech RC (<a href="http://64.70.208.72/speedtechrc/107.html)" rel="nofollow">http://64.70.208.72/speedtechrc/107.html)</a> in the US carry some Frewer bodies, so they might be able to get the V8 shells for you. Also Australian Hobby Shop RAB Hobbies (<a href="http://www.rabhobbies.com.au/e-store/2245.htm)" rel="nofollow">http://www.rabhobbies.com.au/e-store/2245.htm)</a> lists the Commodore and Falcon on their web site and say they'll be able to ship them overseas. Also, both Colt and "Awesome RC" make kits which are available in Australia including car and pre painted body shell in a range of Commodores and Falcoms. You might be able to get hold of a spare body shell of one of those and use it on your car. I can't find a decent site showing those on the web though. RC Racing and V8's seem to go hand in hand here in Oz. If you wander around an RC track you can stike up a conversation about V8's with just about anyone. Even some of the V8 Drivers/Teams are into RC! Recently, one of the RC mags over here ran a story about Jason Bargwana (driver for Orrcon Racing/Mark Larkham Motorsport) who also races Touring Cars with his Son. Also when I toured the Team Dynamik workshop a while ago, they had a couple of RC cars in the office. Jim. Hi John,

All of the body shells are made by a company called “Frewer”. Frewer
currently make a VT Commodore (which can easily be turned into a VX by
cutting the centre out of the tail light sticker), and an AU Falcon. I’ve
heard rumours that they have a BA Falcon on the way, but I haven’t seen it
myself yet. I buy mine from Hobby Habit (www.hobbyhabit.com.au) but I don’t
know if they’ll ship overseas for you or not. A quick web search tells me
that SpeedTech RC (http://64.70.208.72/speedtechrc/107.html) in the US carry
some Frewer bodies, so they might be able to get the V8 shells for you.
Also Australian Hobby Shop RAB Hobbies
(http://www.rabhobbies.com.au/e-store/2245.htm) lists the Commodore and
Falcon on their web site and say they’ll be able to ship them overseas.

Also, both Colt and “Awesome RC” make kits which are available in Australia
including car and pre painted body shell in a range of Commodores and
Falcoms. You might be able to get hold of a spare body shell of one of
those and use it on your car. I can’t find a decent site showing those on
the web though.

RC Racing and V8’s seem to go hand in hand here in Oz. If you wander around
an RC track you can stike up a conversation about V8’s with just about
anyone. Even some of the V8 Drivers/Teams are into RC! Recently, one of
the RC mags over here ran a story about Jason Bargwana (driver for Orrcon
Racing/Mark Larkham Motorsport) who also races Touring Cars with his Son.
Also when I toured the Team Dynamik workshop a while ago, they had a couple
of RC cars in the office.
