Penguin RC
 

I have a penguid shell on my durango and the lexan is very good - quite thick too

Anyone heard if there is any else on the horizon, I love how the car drives but its a ugly fecker :lol:

Yokomo are due to release a "heavyweight" shell soon i believe. i think it will just be a thicker version of the kit shell.

Silencer body from JConcepts will be with us here very soon now as another option.....

Body shells are always a matter of preference ;)

I like the stock shell over the after market ones but it's very thin and flimsy. Mine had a puncture through the roof. Must've landed awkwardly on something solid on the track :woot:

Got a spare penguin shell to be painted but I still prefer the stock body ... Any part number available for the heavier shell? I believe that's what Lee Martin used at the Euros

I agree. While performance has undoubtedly improved since I used to do rc back in mid 80s, the visual appeal has not. I recently bought a bmax4-III to accompany my bmax2 but I have also had to find an old optima original to remind me of what a proper 4wd rc car could look like if style were key.
Now let me go and find a rectangular box so I can design a paint job...

Maybe the designers of 1980s Volvos have moved to rc!!!

That body makes me puke, a lot. :thumbdown: It just doesn't look right.

Just found this in the cupboard and chucked some paint on it to see what it looks like, I think I prefer it to the standard shell, what do you think?

what shell is it?

Been thinking and I believe it is a penguin ansmann x4te shell, you need to trim it to fit but it fits really well around the sides

Here's one i've been working on recently, bit less boxy

My shell
 

Heres what Ive done to fit a Proline phantom. How does it look?

I trimmed the front side pods and made a new bit from wings for the velcro at the front.

What car was that body intended for Danny?

It came straight off my b44.2. little trimming needed, its not as tall now and nose needed trimming back, but it fits really well now.

Looks pretty decent :D
