Er, you realize that the bodies for the Baja 5T range from ~125 to like ~175? Just to put it in perspective.

Why not modeling clay? Start by using wood to take up most of the volume, then put the modeling clay on top of that and work into the shape. This is basically how they do clay models of full size vehicles. Probably easiest to do details, etc. with.
Then you can do a two-step mold on top of that, then use that mold to produce your final plug for use in the vacuum forming process.
This is what I've been toying with myself as I need to widen a SC8 body to fit my RC8T.
