"Wonder" bodyshell

[burgie]

Does anybody know where I can get one? I already have one, but it's getting a bit worn. I bought it off eBay, where somebody had bought it, sprayed it and sold it. Not sure if they had used it or not.

It's a sweet looking she'll in my opinion and I'd like another!

Hi Chris

It does have a look of the Rudebits DB2 shell mate, would one of them fit??

Thanks for that, Mike!

Looking at the db2 shell, against the shell I have here, they look to have come out of the same mould - which is good news for me.

Thanks again.

I think they are from the same mould but maybe the back of the mould is interchangable as the back end is definitely different. On the Much more version for the RB6 the rear sculps back in whereas the DB2 version stays square. Probably worth an email to Tony at Rudebits, alternatively source one from Europe. It does look good on the RB6 though, quite fancy one myself.

A little more investigation and we have a winner. It's a Tamiya TRF201 XM body. There are two versions part no84368 is a standard weight version and part no84374 is a light weight version :thumbsup:

Thanks very much for your help - amazing that the rb6 chassis is mm perfect to the trf chassis products vice-versa.

So the hunt is on for the tamiya bodyshell, that looks just like the muchmore bodyshell, to fit my exotec losi 22, whose chassis is the same dimensions as an Rb6 - but if that fails I'll just get the db2 bodyshell that fits the rb6...!

Should be simple enough!

Hi mate,
I wouldn't say the db2 body would fit the rb6 (I have both cars) as the rear of the db2 is wider, if you look at the pictures above you can see the rear of the one you want tapers in but the db2 does not. Fronts on both body's are the same by the looks of it.
