Default Team Azarashi Tateego shell

Hi Guys, I was interested in this shell for my 501, Have any of you used this before? Does it give you more room to fit Brushless ESC with fans on?

The std shell is so tight and rubs the fan at times, out of interest does the WC 501 shell have bigger bulges for the BL speedos?

If you know of any other options then let me know, Baldre etc

Mark the one I found giving the best room for brushless is the Yokomo BX4, got mine from Brock.
I'll check the link and give next.

Just checked its the MR4BX shell and under body but they do not have any at the moment, heres their link anyway

The Tateego shell is tighter around middle, it actually comes in and touches the chassis just infront of the body posts so if you have a largish speedo mounted behind the motor you will have to move it across the car. It does give you another few mm either side on the front and the general shape gives you more space overall.

I could take some profile pictures for you with the shells side by side if it would be of a help ?

I hope he won't mind me saying so but there is a user on here called "chrispattinson" who has the Tateego shell on his 501.

Chris is notoriously untidy with his electronic installs so if he is happy with it anyone would be! Might be worth you dropping him a PM.
