Default Phat Bodies prototype body

Nothing to see yet

We've got some ideas for the general design of the body, like improved frontal aero without the need to go "FC" ....

The body will also be more aimed at the mid engined layout as this is more popular in Europe and has different needs to a rear motored chassis, but it will also fit the rear engined car. ...

But I just wanted to get some feed back on problems that peeps are having with the stock bodyshell .... like lack of clearance around saddle pack lipos .... etc

So let us know and we'll try and build it in to the finished design

If you can fit a vent at the front that would be good, for people using a speedo behind the servo and maybe some room for the fan

Yep that can be done. How much more room do you need for a fanned speedo ?

1. Would like the roof line just a tad higher as my LRP SXX which is mounted on the ESC plate is just touching the shell
2. Lack of clearance around saddle lipos
3. Skirt round the edges a bit lower so those that want to cut the shell a bit lower can do
4. Close the big hole round the back in mid motor config
5. Maybe add an air scoop for a bit of airflow over the motor/ESC

Get it done Si and send me 3!

Either make the sidepods higher or lower the cutline all around on the shell maybe ?. Only issue i can see you having is there are two body posts just in front of the motor, which you can pop body clips into, i use velcro so not a issue but could be for others.

if you could give it a bit more clearance over the speedo plate then fitting larger speedo's would be easier. bit it needs to maintain the sleek sexy look of the cougar shell
