Is that the RS200 rallyX shell, if you contact Kamtec, Keith Dowsett might even have that off you to make a new mould, I would LOVE wide RallX to come back....

The last Rallycross meeting I raced at was the 1990 British Rallycross GP at Southend!! 3rd in the D final with a CAT XLS fitted with an Astra shell, a 19 Double demon motor and 1400SCR cells........

Ahh nostalgia.

The wide Rallycross was good fun though - imagine what it would be like today with the speeds we have! Still needs the Group B shells for those of us stuck in the 80's.

I remember everyone running the Wide shells on Buggies, then when the 1/10 Scale Touring shells came out i couldn't get my head around them - they looked SOOOO wrong being so narrow and long it just didn't seem right. I know they are a better representation of the scale size etc, but after seeing the wide ones for so long i remember thinking they looked really odd being so narrow

Some guys on Tamiyaclub are talking to Frewer in Australia who are still trading about getting some 6R4s and 205 T16 shells made.

Sadly no RS200 shells. I'd like one.

Elliott.
