Would you buy a cab-forward body for X6 if one became available?
 
Lets gauge some interest....:woot:

Yes!!!!!!!!! Please make :)

We certainly will consider "cab forward" when the time comes for Jason to design the body. Remember, for us the body is about aerodynamic performance first, looks second.

I'm going to be honest here. If all bodies were cab forward I'd get out of rc entirely and proclaim it as a hobby of the past and that's no joke. That's how ugly I think they are. I laugh every time I see someone running one.

Caring about the looks of a toy car is even more silly than playing with them.

I think the poll is about the X6 Chazz and not the new X7.....

So where's that cab forward shell? 51 sales waiting :thumbsup:.

YoungChazz 04-07-2012 03:14 PM

Sadly, a total of 51 sales = $70 each just for the mold. Tell me about 500 sales and we can begin to think about it. Unless you want to pay $125 for a shell.

Why does an X-Car cost so much? Great stuff, low volumes.

The AJ Galaxy is a 'bit' cab forward

I think there are some quite good looking cab forward bodies out there, just like ugly traditional bodies. You can't compare Azarashi's cool stuff with the crappy Bulldogs, for example. Ansmann's MadRat body isn't a paragon of beauty either.

I've come to accept that cab forward bodies add the benefits of a front wing to a certain degree without adding an additional part. With a decent paint job, some of them can look preety good! :thumbsup:

I`d ask MrSpeedy of the PhatBodies fame to see if he`d design one seeing as he already made an X6 shell

That's a fair point Chazz, I think sometimes people forget you are a business and would be losing money as a company if the items didn't sell. Have any racers in the states asked for a cab forward body ?. I wondered if there are any updates for the car due soon.

Some of the cab forward shells remind me of this....

Sigourney Weaver isnt bad looking is she ?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Chippy96 05-07-2012 06:55 PM

My next shell will be the AJ Galaxy I think...:p

Yes that put`s things into perspective a bit doesnt it,"cab forward"we already have one!!I recently tried "another" shell and couldnt believe how much it changed the car,Needless to say I went back to the original(I wanted to change it because my x6sq was second hand to me and I dont like the decor),I was going to try another different body next but I think i`ll stick with the "Chasmobile"-quite simply it works!!!!:)
