I think the new JConcepts cab-forward shell debuted at the worlds might fit the X - 6 pretty well. It fits on the longer B4 chassis they've been running recently which means it could sit well on the X - 6 with a little creative trimming.
I would emphasize that I've not seen one in person or even studied the pictures all that carefully, but I'll be taking a closer look when I can. |

Paul. Is there any chance of getting some original X6 body shells re-made?
I think its still the nicest shell for the X6. But we cant get em any more |

Reason being, the original X6 body moulded was what they used to modify to create the Squared body at JConcepts, so no going back now sadly......

This might seem like a silly question but why haven't JConcepts made their own version of the X6 shell? They seem to be knocking shells out for fun for the other cars .

I too like the original 6 shell better -- I love the wrap-around window. I remember taking two prototype shells through the pits at a race somewhere, one painted with "standard" windows and the other wrap-around. The wrap-around won 9-1, so that's what we made.
When the Squared came out, we wanted to make the shell different -- Squared. So we changed the mold, bringing the bottom of the windshield a bit further back and making a sharper corner where the pillar is to square off the look. (And add a bit of downforce in the center of the car.) Also, we removed a bit of material from the mold to "square off" the top of the rear. Since many people didn't like the original, this helped. All changes were made by removing material from the mold. You cannot add material, only subtract, so a different shell would require an entire new mold. We'd actually love to do it, but too much $$$ when there's an X - 7 to make, not to mention an SCX - 60CF. As to whether an aftermarket company will make a new X - 6 Sq shell, you'll have to ask them. We will be happy to co-operate. |

I've sent emails to both Proline and Jconcepts and both have been kind enough to reply. However, thats where the good news ends...
In a nutshell, it's all about demand - if enough people want them, they'll look into making them. Not sure how we go about doing that other than individually emailing them to register our interest? |

We could set up a poll thread then invite both brands to view it here when we get a decenrt amount of votes in favour...just an idea, what do you think?

Try Team Bluegroove on ebay, and send them a new "old" shell so they can make a mould...

I just got in the new Finnisher body and the revised Punisher body from JConcepts, meant to fit the long-chassis B4's run at the Worlds. I'm away for the ROAR Nationals this week, but once I get back I plan on having them sprayed up and test fitting them. From my initial quick look at it, I'll have to trim some of the body to fit around the back corners of the chassis, but they should fit the front end well and cover the motor area just fine. I'll let you guys know how it turns out and post pics if things look good.
