Just as a hopefully helpful suggestion, when you go to the post office, ask for several blank Delivery Confirmation forms and fill them out yourself, that way you can even mark the person's username in the corner as you stick them on your packages. I actually mark what was in the package in the corner to help me keep multiple packages straight...

Well, as it turns out, not one store within reasonable driving distance sells boxes that are the right size. I ordered a bunch of boxes online and they should be here in a few days.

All multiples shipped out today - they are noted on the first page list. The guys from Hawaii, I apologize but the packages are showing an estimated delivery of 3/14. To ship them any faster would have cost over $55 per box.

I'm Scott, I sent you a PM. Thanks again for doing this!

As for the decals, I'm cool if I don't get a set. Some window masks would be nice though. The Bigfoot decal set from this body is easily the worst r/c decal set I've ever seen. It looks like a pointillism painting, as if the ink was applied through a screen door. Having said that, it would be cool if we could figure out how to make some custom (better quality) Bigfoot decals for this body. I've never had custom decals made, I'm not sure how to go about doing it.

Carcrusher, thanks so much for doing this! I appreciate it! I also heard from a little birdie that Parma may re-continue this body soon... seems to be a lot of interest in it... I'm not sure why they discontinued it to begin with!!

looking over the decals received with this new body im noting how different they are from the original release,many are missing, the "lights" have been recolored and sport added graphics, the colors are different and the item # is now 10293 where the originals were/are #10659 not sure if this means anything or not?

Got my body today, thank you so much for doing this. I'm going to go over to talk to a friend to see if he can reproduce the decals and see how much it would cost. If it can be done at a reasonable price I'll let everyone know.

The body itself has been released with varous decals - it originally came out with the stripe paint scheme decals, and later on with the original Bigfoot blue scheme, marketed as the "Bigfoot 4" body - a guy at Parma (name escapes me) had said that the body floats in and out of production and that it may return sometime in the future if overall demand is high enough.

Actually it came out with the regular decal first as I had one on a Clod back in '88 or ' 89 (even though they now call it the '91 body) as it represented Bigfoot 6 and 7at the time. The racing stripe version came after that.
