Ok, I've watched you guys long enough and I think it's time we send in some cars to get our butts kicked! None of our current cars are good enough to be on the same track as what I see so, we'll have to build new cars. I'm looking at starting in the BASX division. My question is does everybody mostly cut their own bodies or are they buying them?

Hey BDRoddy !

Welcome !

While most people cut their own bodies, not everybody has the tools to cut their own...

If you think that is where you are having issues, Joel (Derby Evolution) has bodies to sale, drilled and undrilled.

Also, some people in here will be able to help with bodies as well.

Ask me about the Mojo Pinewood Academy! If you are interested in reducing the learning curve and learning how to properly build and prep your car, I can help you turn your cars into Hot Rods!

It is a perfect time to start your season. Everyone here has started out just like you. Don't sweat your race times just concentrate on your own improvement. Ask as many questions as you want and most racers will have the right answers for you. Good luck and see you on the hill.

Welcome! Glad to have you racing with us. The BASX AM class is the perfect place to start. Most guys cut their own bodies. But there are quite a few options out there to get you started in the right direction.

Let us know if you have any questions and the guys on this board will be sure to help you out.

Welcome to the group. Where are you located? As far as bodies, I would suggest getting some bodies from Derby Evolution and that will save time in building and allow you to focus on the axels and wheel prep. BASX Am is the best place to start in my opinion. Most importantly is have fun and ask for help.
