Default B-Max4 III bodyshell

Anyone know when therell be an alternative bodyshell available?????

I've made a right mess of mine at the Regional today. I refuse point blank to buy another genuine one because they're so flimsy and expensive.

The car was good though, loving it.

Default B max shell

I have lined mine with tesa tape
Made for Motorsport repairs
It's not cheap but it firms up the shell well and also protects your paint job
Cheers yorkie

The shell from the B-max4 II can be made to fit.

Penguin shells on eBay do an alternative and I it's nice and thick.

Had a look and it appears he no longer does them. It might be worth dropping him a line tho.

I've painted the inside of my BMAX4-III shell with stormshore:
http://www.stormsure.com/stormsure.html

unlike shoegoo it's thin enough to paint on, and a 15g tube is more than enough to do one shell. I guess it adds less than 15g to the shell in weight, but makes it far stronger and flexible.

Their site is not up to date. #0269 (MM RT6 body) is already available at towerhobbies and they did not even mention it on their website or social media pages.
