Default TRF501x Bodyshell

Hi everyone

Had a bit of an accident with my Durga bodyshell recently....finding it difficult to source a replacement since it is so new.

Just wondering if any one knows if the TRF501x bodyshell will fit the Durga chassis? I can source this at a reasonable price, and i do like the look of it but i dont want to purchase it if it wont fit!!

Many thanks
MR_C

Thanks for that.

To be honest it was more in hope that it would. Shame...

Never mind, may end up running it without one!!!

Cheers

I think the motor placement is different, so the shell may well not fit.

Never mind, eh.

I will have to wait a while until the Durga shell is added to the catalogue.

If anyone has any idea where i might get one, i`m all ears...

I have spoken to a number of shops and one or two are looking in to it for me..fingers crossed!

I think TamiyaUSA has them, but I don't think they ship overseas.

Thumbs up

Sorry it took so long to reply...

Thanks for that. I`m in the UK but i`ve had a look at the site and will be ordering the Bodyshell along with the wing over the next few days.

And i will be a little more careful with this one!!!

Thanks again

I did the velcro mod to my 501x WE
Add a line a CA glue to the body then place the velcro tape
over top it, take a pair of pliers or something smooth so you
dont CA your fingers together. Let dry for 15-25 mins and your
all set. Did my B44 like this also.
