Default New Durga shell

Right chaps - need some help on this one.

I've been in touch with Keith Dowsett who runs Kamtec and keeps me supplied with Mardave banger shells. Now Kamtec also do some replica lexan buggy shells (check them on eBay) for a decent (read realistic) price.

Now with Durga shells seeming to be either rarer than hens teeth, stupidly expensive, or both, I explained to Keith that there is a ready market for a Kamtec produced Durga shell as the DB-01 is such a popular chassis right now.

Keith has said to me that he will happily produce a replica shell - but he needs a new uncut one to make a master from. If anyone has one that they would be willing to loan to Kamtec - and you'll get it back undamaged with a suitable reward - please can you PM me and I'll put you in touch with Keith (all round good egg).

And the best part.........Keith reckons on about £13 for the Kamtec shell.

Over to you guys. Someone must have one waiting to be painted that they can lend out for a week or 2?

Cheers,

Dave.

I haven't got a shell for you to use as mine is already cut and painted, but I have found this. It does mean you have to buy the shellin the first instance, but might help out a little. Follow the link below.

Not to slag of Keith in anyway as he does good work, My concern as may would agree is he takes far to long!! He has now had my Yokomo MX-4 bodyshell and undertray for 3 years!!! it took him approx 2 years to repro a cat xls shell from my friend Jeroen! Just warning you all not trying to put anyone off its just I would'nt want anyone to loose out

CATS - trying to be constructive here and you're not helping.

Keith is running a thriving business and is to be congratulated on the work he achieves from such a small outfit.

What do you think his prospective sales are going to be for an MX4 or XLS compared to what is a very popular CURRENT racing chassis?

Thanks for the link Simon - was trying to avoid "shelling" out in the first place though.......
