Replacement shell for brittle mad monkey
Having raced indoors once with the mad monkey on Friday, the shell has somewhat been decimated!! What replacement shells are available for the Mad monkey?
Suggestions please Si

concept racing do a replacement with wing. Dont come with window masks though, but if you ask they will throw in some mask that you can cut as desired. £14ish plus a couple of P&P iirc

Concept racing as above, that's what I using and it's been fine, got a few cracks forming (sorry Eric) but nothing that you wouldn't expect from a normal shell like a protoform shell. Well worth the money and the wings are cool ;-)

I got a couple of bodies in stock at the moment, be quick if you want one, may only have one left, it takes a couple of weeks to get more made so if you want one soon best let me know.
Thanks for letting me know your getting a few cracks, more likely to do with the quality of the lexan, since I have started getting some made, the quality has got worse but then that seems the same for the other plastics they use for mouldings, seems to take longer to dry, more heat to make it mould properly and still ends up with air bubbles in the lexan, been trying to get 0.75mm lexan as that moulds a lot better but is a lot more money in larger quantities, at the moment we are using 0.9mm which is relativly cheap in comparison and easier to get in small amounts, so until the price comes back down or they can get a large quantity in stock it will have to stay as it is for now.

It will fit the X2C - i have both a MM and X2C. Its alittle wide on the side pods but the monkey chassis is slightly wider.
100% fits though. Eric, I've had no problems with splitting on my shells, assuming they came from different batches too with the time difference in orders Quote:

Mine only cracked at the very back in the corners around the shock tower area, but tbh that could of been just from not habit the corners sanded like I would do with my touring shells. Got loads of life yet n a rather nice paint job on it by someone else so will be keeping it for a long time yet
