The shell looks really good from the side, it would be great to see some more shots of it from different angles...............and of course, to know what it is :thumbsup:

Alec, As others have said its an academy shell.

The donor gearbox cases and steering were of a tamiya evo4 touring car. Race the car a couple of times as that set up and it was pretty good, but the changed it quite a bit, but it never got much running with the 501 & 511 coming out.

Might have to give it a run out
