Cool cheers for that I will be placing an order shortly once I have found a part number for a TR02C chassis, I am thinking of converting my saddle chassis to a stick chassis, seems to make more sense and it saves me having to borrow batterys of a friend everytime I go racing.

Beat you to it, just found it a couple of minutes ago, cheers for that, Cameo, looks like I will be placing an order today, as long as my body man can do the bodies fairly soon, I should have some available shortly, watch this space!!!

Any updates :D ?

Does it fit snuggly as i suspect from comparing the shape of the x6squared chassis to the mm they have slightly different contours.

Its arrived :thumbsup:

Now just need to try and cut it out without taking a loads off the shell!
The X6 is narrower at the front compared to the Monkey so is the shell is the same!

I'll post some pics up if I can get it to fit nicely :eh?:

jpmatrix 14-05-2011 09:03 PM

Excellent.

Will you cut it to shape before you paint it?

Sorry....things have been a little hectic here (new baby!)......will get some pics (unpainted) sorted as soon as I get 5 minutes.....sorry for the wait :blush:

4_cell_racer 23-05-2011 06:44 PM

Finally got some pics taken the other day.......sorry for the delay in me posting them up on here :blush:

My thoughts on the shell......it will fit onto the Monkey (not as tight fitting as the kit shell, but thats to be expected), with a little extra cutting......I've used the kit body mount pins on the Monkey to mount the shell as it pulls it in closer to the shell......maybe velcro will do a better job (but for some reason I cannot get any to stick to the chassis :blush:) I'll run this shell for any dry outdoor meetings and indoor meetings I do (once sprayed) and will more than likely buy one when the time comes :)

X2C's chassis is narrower than the Mad Monkey's chassis! And Ansmann do not sell a clear shell for the MM!!

Thats why this thread was started ;)

Looks like I finally got the MM shell coming after getting stung by customs, it shouldn't take too long to get a mould made,depending how many people want one I shall be doing 6 to start with. I shall be selling them for £12.99 plus £2.00 postage, they will come with overspray film and wing.

i will take one from you, if i can?

cheers

ConceptRacing 24-05-2011 09:54 PM

I will let everyone know when they will be available for purchase, it will a little while to get the mould made as my body man has quite a few other jobs on at the moment. Rest assured we will finally have some clear bodies available in this country despite Ansmann not doing them and they will be a heck of a lot cheaper than the original ones.

chris brown 26-05-2011 02:26 PM

Good. I look forward to it as I'll have one too. Chris.

ConceptRacing 26-05-2011 02:26 PM

Bodyshell has finally arrived and is in the hands of my body man, he reckons about 2 weeks to get some on the shelf, I shall let everyone know when they are done and ready for purchase.
