I always figured this would be funny to have as an RC car body. (So you could boast, "I just beat your car with with mom's minivan!") I don't have a good reference for any particular RC car chassis, so it's quite likely that this will need some further work to be made to fit on body mounting posts.
Anyhow enjoy!

Uploaded the .blend file just because. Layer 2 has the same mesh as the .stl, but layer 1 has all the lower poly and construction meshing stuff. (So you might get an idea of my workflow. Just some box modeling for a template and building the working mesh over that where it's easier to flow edges and adjust detail.) I'd figure having that may be easier for remixing or whatever than a mesh with 2 levels of subdiv already applied. Of course my scaling here is pretty arbitrary (no references at the moment), so it could be adapted to get at least one important dimension close - and adjust the body to fit from there.
Also if anyone has a 3D modeled chassis reference available at the proper scale, do comment - and maybe I'll get around to making this fit over it. But you do have the original .blend now and you're free to remix it too.
