added... thank you...

@ nticlimax: bodyshell usually fixed price... so where ever you go prices should be the same...

cheaper bodyshell would mean a different brand... and the cheapest brand i know is ABC and one more which i forgot... i think it starts with an 's'... not too sure...

[E3lipse]

Yokomo 70 to 80
Tamiya 50
ABC 45
HPI 37
Protoform 20+ (maybe 30)

Rough gauge of mostly used brand shells.

[*team trixie™ | X]

[Nova™]

[Nova™]

[MiVeC]

if you noticed... its updated on Oct 23rd... so unless the shops moved between now and Oct 23rd... they are correct....
