Another Durango body
 
Had a go at designing my own Durango shell. Designed it to give lots of room for electronics, motor heatsinks/fans while keeping a really low roof line. Went for as much downforce as possible at the back :D

At least, a bulldogless body :)
Very nice...

Yeah I was trying to avoid the 'forward cab' look by extending it all the way to the back :)
Was going to sell them for $25 AUD for the body and wing, which seems to be about £16 or 18 euro.

Stegger it's vacformed polycarbonate, the mould took a hell of alot of dremelling and sanding though :)

Thanks for the comments :)

I've uploaded a top down pic and a few others i'd taken here https://picasaweb.google.com/piazzan...angoDEX410Body

Steve73, the current electronics setup was done to suit the standard body although it's a tight fit, it's a speed passion ESC with one of those tiny hobbyking spektrum receivers.
Have a look in the link I posted above with some closeup pics of the cockpit you can sort of see how much room there is around the current stuff. I'll take some photos with a clear body when I make some more to give a better idea on clearances. Main thing which gives the room for the ESC & receiver is that the body doesn't have the step in the side of it which the original has. I'll see if I can line it up next to another durango with a standard body too at this weekends race meet.

My favorite is still the Tresrey Gainabull .:)

Bugle 04-02-2011 01:45 PM

I should be making a batch of them early next week. :D
I'll donate the equivalent of ebay fees for any shells I sell on oOple, hopefully that's ok

Stu 04-02-2011 03:29 PM

I think Jimmy would like that, help him pay for the world's report.
