Only in piccy form at the mo, but what do you guys think ?

Looks amazing! Hurry up and make n paint me one please :D

mmm nice
 

Want one now. When are they ready.:thumbsup:

Very nice..Ant you'd better order a few cos i'm gonna bash it to bits!!:woot:;)

no forward cab? lol

in my opinion it doesn't need the spoiler on the roof, but if you were going that way make it carry on at the back of the body.

the side pods could probably be lower too.

but i like :D

I wonder if the phat x6 body will fit the cougar. I actually like that shape

Looks the bollox Si!

You got some awesome designing skills!

Not quite! It's quite close but we tried the Zen shell on the other day and the front isnt wiiide n chunky enough. We could mod it to fit but I think we will be going ahead with a design a bit like the one above :)

weeman, u can try, lol. you got to catch it to bash it:p

saying that dave, you might get the chance as i come around to lap you :woot: haha.

Very nice work Si! :thumbsup:

nice! i may have to buy a cougar to have one though.

dont make the sides so low u have probs with clearance for speedos etc

Cheers for the input guys :thumbsup: ... always nice to have opinions to listen to, good or bad I like em all :) ....

Like I said, nothing has been made yet, just me playing around on paintpot ....

Despite how it looks, the main part of the body is pretty much the same dimensions as the stock Cougar shell, it's just smoooooothed off a bit, so speedo fitment etc shouldn't be a problem.

The roof line is quite a bit lower than stock for a bit more meaness, and it will also fit the stock undertray so ya won't need to buy a new one :thumbsup:

Price will likely be £15.00, the same as our X6 shell ....

Keep the opinions coming tho .....

Game on Si

Like the look Sir.

Good work as per usual Si!
Not my kind of thing IMO, as I am not really into the 'slammed' look as of present, as I prefer a more classic curvy body (ala B4 etc).
Top work all the same.

It has something of the original TRF501X body

I'd like to see a little more space for a speed passions esc with fan. The stock body is a little to close for my taste. maybe try a seperate gear cover conversion also. That being said I love the shape

That is sick. I like how aggrevise it make the car look. what is your website? when you decide on final design will you post it on here? do you ship to the u.s.?

www.phatbodies.co.uk

We've only done a few specific shells so far, but we're working on it ;) We also ship worldwide yup and everything will be posted up here :)

Will you be doing one for the SX2? :thumbsup:

yeah where the sx2 new shell coming out cant leave us in the lurch can you now :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Nice idea about the separate gear cover, dunno if it's possible tho, would you guys go for that or is having it built into the bodyshell a better idea ?

I'd like to do a shell for the SX2 ......;)

The thing is if you race on astro-turf you don't need a seperate gear cover, But if you race on dirt like I do its become a issue. I've burnt three spur gears by getting mud between the teeth and jamming the gears. Maybe have it as a additional mold option for the cat and cougar. I know I would buy them in a heartbeat.

It does sound like a good idea but, I've just had a look over our Cougar but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to attach the gear cover other than the motor screws :thumbdown:

running on astro or dirt or any other surface is not the point. the gears should be covered for safety precautions as i once found out while marshaling a b4 without its cover, not nice, hurts lol. so i would have to say build it into the shell as then it cant be left off to cause a marshall injury. at the end off the day safety is the main concern.

i love that shell :wub
i will order a shell if they come out.

Looks great but I guess the speedo + fan isn't going to work?

Does it fit OK in the stock shell ?

any updates on this shell yet?

is there a release date yet?
grtz jeffrey

anything new about the shell ?

thx

Where and when can I by it ???? :thumbsup:

Nothing wrong with the orginal one !

BTW

It's still in the design stage at the mo, but if all goes well we should have a prototype around Christmas.

And then the body will be for sale soon after :thumbsup:

Looking foward to that ! =) :thumbsup:

Prototype pics coming soon :woot:

Will it be production ready before we all start buying our shells for the 2011 season? The initial sketches looked really good. :thumbsup:

We'll have the first bodyshell off the mould this week, and as long as we're happy with how it looks when it's mounted on the car it will go into production and be available in the shop before the end of January :thumbsup:

that's good news. I LOVE that body:drool:
