Not positive, but I think the answer is, not very well, if at all. Otherwise, Paul would have said something. We get the "cab forward" effect with a J Concepts front air dam. Should be on our store, and I bet X Factory U.K. has 'em too. They are closed this week for vacation, back Monday.

Try a company called kamtec they produce loads of shells for every type of racing. If you can prove there is a profit tobe made from it then i cant see any one turning it down

I honestly haven't looked at it more than my previous post, been busy with a few other things here at the shop (Everything but the X - 7 is still packed up in my boxes from nationals!). I disagree with Chazz, I think they will work, just not sure how the "finnished" product will look. I'll be sending the bodies out for painting soon.

You might struggle to get the Finnisher to sit properly with a stick lipo across the chassis as the sidepods are pretty low on the body. It might work with saddles but I suspect not as the tops of the sidepods don't slope up much toward the centre of the car, looking from the front/rear the tops of the sidepods are pretty much horizontal.
All a guess as I don't have my Finnisher shell or an X6 to hand |

I also have one of the extra-long Punisher bodies JC made for the Worlds, I'll be trying both of them.

X Factory U.K./D.M.S. is open this week. They were on vacation last week, but are open now.
Guess it's OK to send that box of stuff now... |

So, dredging this thread up from page 4, but I promised an update!
I finally got some new bodies painted up before Cactus, including the JConcepts Finnisher body I had ordered and received last September (difficulties with painters). I got around to mounting it last night and I think it will work pretty well, with some creative trimming and a quick touch with a heat gun. Here are some quick pics I took after cutting the body out. I cut the front out on the cut lines, then just took my time test fitting and cutting the rear out. I finally decided that it will take a heat cut to bend the body around the motor endbell and wires, rather than cutting that off and leaving it exposed. However I don't think it'll be very much work to do that and I really like the look of the body |

A local did something similar with the +8mm body and it looks good, just a little short
