Phat Bodies 210 prototype

[mrspeedy]

Yes there is ...

We've now run the prototype both indoors at Caldicot and and outdoors on astro/grass at Tiverton.

Several Durango drivers have had a good look over the new body and given it their approval.

We have tried the front body wing that will come with the kit. I can't say there was a noticeable difference indoors, poss because it's a relatively small hall and the speeds are not great, but on the fast bank at Tivvy it did help stabilize the car and make it a little easier to drive.

So with the thumbs up, the prototype mould has now been finalized and is being cast for vac-forming this week.

It'll be a couple more weeks until the new body is in the shop but we're aiming to have them available early July.

still no picture ???

what good is talking about a body without pictures??

[mrspeedy]

Sorry, but until we have a 100% finished and painted body and not a just prototype, there's no real point posting pics.

We'll do our best to get a couple of pics up of the mould when we have it back for a taster

any pics of the smoothee?

[mrspeedy]

No not yet ... sorry. I did take some of the mould but they didn't come out well !!

We will have pics up and bodies for sale from the shop within a couple of weeks so please bear with us

Here you go, a restyled and smoothed bodyshell. We hope you like

[mrspeedy]

Good photo skills there Dan

We've kept a similar profile to the awesome original body but added in a smoother and more flowing style. The fin is still there too, but is now Phatter

The windscreen is sculpted out to grab some more air along with the included bonnet mounted front wing that has proved useful in testing.

More room for brick speedos !!! and also around the motor area for those with big tabs, and vents just in front the motor to aid cooling.

More detailed pics to follow

I like, well done on the design. Will match a dex410 nicely!

[Danosborne6661]

Maybe we could get it up in the shop this evening?
