Default 511x body

Where can I get one?

I have a 501x and I need to finish it off, tidy the wiring up and paint up a body.
Thing is, I really hate the 501 body.
I bought the car cause I love the chassis, I was prepared to tolerate the body but.....nope, want rid of it if possible.

Bought mine on ebay, the only place someone had one in stock at the time. Try the Hong Kong based shops like rcmart.com and rc-mushroom.com, they sometimes have something EU and US shops dont.

What about one of the Team Azarishi bodies.. The Tateego body is pretty cool. http://www.team-azarashi.com/prodenglish.html

In multiple places it is said, that 511 body needs modification to fit 501 chassis, but I can't find the information on what needs to be modified anywhere. So before I go and buy one (and possibly be disappointed due to modifications ruining the looks of it), has someone fitted a 511 body on 501 and if so, could you post pics on the modifications needed?

I`m after purchasing a new shell for my 501 also and have been looking at the 511 shell as its a very simliar design to the Baldre shell for the Db-01.

Could anyone just confirm that the 511 is a correct fit please? Jimmy?
