Another Durango body
 

Had a go at designing my own Durango shell. Designed it to give lots of room for electronics, motor heatsinks/fans while keeping a really low roof line. Went for as much downforce as possible at the back :D

nice work!!

That looks the nuts
I love it!
Love the roofline where it goes to a point at the back
I will buy some

Yes please, I want one!!!!

Where and how much??

Scott..

Very nice !! Some very good work there fella. :)
How did you make it ?

Awesome work mate! This shell looks really fantastic!

Bloody awesome!!! Smooooth!

At least, a bulldogless body :)
Very nice...

Yeah I was trying to avoid the 'forward cab' look by extending it all the way to the back :)
Was going to sell them for $25 AUD for the body and wing, which seems to be about £16 or 18 euro.

Stegger it's vacformed polycarbonate, the mould took a hell of alot of dremelling and sanding though :)

That's awesome, best aftermarket body by miles:thumbsup:

can we have a pic from directly above please:)

Unbelievable!
PHANTASTIC!:thumbsup:

3 Wishes:
1) Picture together with the Orginal Body

2) Picture without the body, to see your electronic installation

3) Your bank connection, the price and PLEASE, PLEASE send me one!

i want one also :p
it looks ace:drool:
and more room is always better :p

Thanks for the comments :)

I've uploaded a top down pic and a few others i'd taken here https://picasaweb.google.com/piazzan...angoDEX410Body

Steve73, the current electronics setup was done to suit the standard body although it's a tight fit, it's a speed passion ESC with one of those tiny hobbyking spektrum receivers.
Have a look in the link I posted above with some closeup pics of the cockpit you can sort of see how much room there is around the current stuff. I'll take some photos with a clear body when I make some more to give a better idea on clearances. Main thing which gives the room for the ESC & receiver is that the body doesn't have the step in the side of it which the original has. I'll see if I can line it up next to another durango with a standard body too at this weekends race meet.

Hi,
Please keep us informed when available and how to order?
Greetz:)

Really nice body. I am very interested in buying one too! Please keep us informed! :drool:

Yep nice looking shell there fella :thumbsup: definately keep us informed if you intend to do a batch :)

My favorite is still the Tresrey Gainabull .:)

I should be making a batch of them early next week. :D
I'll donate the equivalent of ebay fees for any shells I sell on oOple, hopefully that's ok

I think Jimmy would like that, help him pay for the world's report.

ok great let us know in this topic

Hi Guys,

I used one of the "Bugle Boy" wings last year to win one of our largest 1/10th buggy races, here in Australia - the NSW State titles. The wings are extremely strong and provide great downforce. Unfortunately at the time - the Bugle Boy Body was not fully developed - although a few early "pulls" had been made by Thomas (Bugle).

I have attached a few pics of my new Bugle Boy shell - freshly painted and ready to hit the track. (Please forgive the use of rattle cans - I like simple paint jobs). I think the paint job shows off the lines of the shell. I will try and get a few pics of my radio instrallation as well if interested.

This shell leaves a TONNE of room for electronics without looking "pregnant"!! :woot::wub:thumbsup:

I think the price that Thomas is asking for these shells is truly excellent and he deserves a pat on the back for helping out fellow racers, I also saw and placed an order for his new DEX Undertray and front bumper.......great stuff.

Cheers

Wow!!! This is most likely the coolest 1:10 OR shell I've ever seen! Absolutely amazing! :thumbsup:

Hey everyone, i've made a bunch of shells, $25 AUD (http://www.xe.com/) plus postage for a body and wing. PM me to sort out postage costs if you're interested.

Thanks Darryn, too bad you weren't using the bugle boy wing last weekend you would've won it :thumbsup:

This is the undertray and bumper Darryn was talking about, I posted it on here a while ago but there didn't seem to be much interest, I guess more people would be after them if they were all running atomic carbon tubs :)

Chucked a mamba max pro into the car for a test fit being the biggest ESC i've got, can fit it any which way you like really, got the receiver between the spur and the ESC here. Didn't wire it all up since i'm going to use it in another car instead.

As far as motor cooling goes, Darryn's car pictured above has 2 heat sinks on the motor, someone else was running a fan down beside the motor with holes in the side of the body to draw air in. Another had a fan and heatsink angled so that the fan was going up inside the cockpit.

I chucked some other pics of the body next to the old original one in here aswell https://picasaweb.google.com/piazzan...ngoDEX410Body#

you have a pm
:)

you have another PM
 

You have another pm

And another pm.

One more :)

This shell looks awesome I have to say.

Thats pretty sexual!

Thanks Jimmy and everyone :D

Also I forgot to mention, the protective film they include with this polycarbonate (Bayer brand 0.8mm thick) i'm using isn't vacuum formable. It can't take the heat so I have to remove it, therefore there is no 'overspray film' on the outside. Glad wrap works just as well anyway and is easier to peel off :)

I love the original shell, but because it goes in after the pods the wires of my receiver touch the shell and push it out slightly. That's my only complaint. I had no problem really fitting my SP GT and futaba 2.4 gear in there even used the mounting plate for easy removal.

Undertray would be greatly received, although I've stopped crying now everytime I see it belly something hard and abrasive :D

This shell also gives a bit more real estate for stickers hehe

What name would you give to this bodyshell?

DexAero

AeroDex

410Aero

Aere410

Bugle hasn't a name for his shell so see if you can do better then mine. Have fun trying.

You never know he may pick one from this thread or just come up with his in his own good time

Pure beauty. Bugle, I want to shake your hand. Really excellent work.
How thick polycarbonate did you use for this body? And does it become thinner when formed in the making?
