I need suggestions for on-road 1/8 scale cars... I want to go brushless and it will only be a basher/parkinglot racer. The whole ide is to use the old school nascar body I picked up this weekend to build kind of a nastalga racer. Something I can pick up off ebay cheap would be great.... Otherwise Im going to do a full tube frame and build it to "scale"

Probably OFNA or Kyosho, they both make onroad versions of their 1/8th scale buggies.

inferno gt. and they make electric kits for it.

Check out some of the 1/5 scale nascars for ideas. They are tubers I believe.

tuber was the first idea but... not sure I could get it to handle. its 1 thing to build a crawler, another to build a 40mph car

Inferno GT or OFNA GTP.
Or if you don't mind spending some moola on a nice kit a OFNA DM-1 Pro. RCdeal.com has them cheap if you don't mind auctions, I think $300 on average for the kits. The Hyper 1/7 is nice too at $300 but the 2spd w/reverse is crap, and weighs more than the engine. What is the wheel base on the nascar body? Do the wheels center when its placed on a 1/8th scale buggy chassis? If not, then it won't fit on a IGT or GTP chassis either.

the body doesnt actually have wheel wells on it, that way you can adjust it to fit... Its the Parma Nascar Lumina body.

If you mean this body Parma 1/8 Lumina NASCAR Body
I don't think it'll work. I think at 10.5 or roguhly 260mm the body is too narrow to cover the wheels I'll measure the IGT when I get home. however an Inferno GT is 310mm wide, like a 1/8th buggy, the body is only 260mm wide. 50mm is a fairly large difference.

I could whip one of these chassis out in a week of lunches if I had plans for the thing.. it would be absolutely no problem to make these bends...  oh yeah, and surfing RCU, I found a couple of 36cc (airplane?) engines, kawasaki, for cheap... anyone interested? the only thing that would cost anything would be the actual suspension.. I can build that chassis/roll cage out of scrap (clean the welds up of course)
