Seeing as my Dad posted up some information on the new shell he has created on another thread I thought I should make a official one!

What do you think?! Should be out and ready to order by the end of this week!
Just the prototype stages at the moment, nothings quite final yet :thumbsup:

[Jamie.T]

Awesome looking shell. will be picking mine up friday.

Jamie.....

[Tom3012]

That looks really good! Ill take one :thumbsup:

[SpeedyDad]

I'm confused. Isn't this a copy of the Azarashi shell?

[Wraggy]

I'm confused. Isn't this a copy of the Azarashi shell?
the one nobody seems to be stocking you mean ? or cant buy from anywhere..!

[blitzboy]

I'm confused. Isn't this a copy of the Azarashi shell?

does nt say it on the packet and its cheaper , phat bodies shells are good quality too guys , im running one on my micro and have a new mojo shell and they are good , if anyone wants to sprak to me at worksop about it tommorrow just come and see me

[Danosborne6661]

Nope, may look a little like it in these draft pictures but when I get some proper pics I can assure it isn't :)

[SpeedyDad]

OK, must just be the way its painted.

[mrspeedy]

Azer who ?? ;) Nah, definitely not a copy mate, we do try to be as original as possible with all our shells :thumbsup: its just my photography skills don't show it here ....

It needs some quality pics for sure .....

[CCristo]

Do tall lipos fit without pushing the body up? Can we see a top down pic?

[mrspeedy]

Not sure yet to be honest, but I would think so. I run a 4700 soft case lipo and it clears that with 10mm to spare at standard height.

What sort of height is a tall Lipo inc connectors ?

[c0sie]

That looks lush Si :) ;)

[ScottyP]

Looks like it might suffer the same problem as the Aza shell with Lipo... not enough clearance on the end of the pack, especially with Corally connectors, which means you need an extra 5mm or so.

Does look good tho.

Cheers,
Scotty P.

[mrspeedy]

Had a closer look now to check out the clearance for fat lipo's and it's all good as long as the Corally connectors are wired up at 90 degrees.

Also I've just taken delivery of our first batch of shells so they'll be in the shop this week :thumbsup:

Si

[ben44]

I like your bodies, like that the X6² you like less fat.
could you send in france?

[mrspeedy]

We ship anywhere :thumbsup:

[CCristo]

Could yo post some updated pictures with the tall lipos?

How can we order them?

[Wacker 2]

yeah, how much and how do we order???

Thanks

[Body Paint]

Price will be £18 I believe with a killer wing :thumbsup:

good to see it on redrc.net Si, nice!!:p

[super__dan]

Shell looks great IMHO, but get some better tyres on the car for 'press shots' ;)

For sure,! You wait in till Blitz has done mine :D

[Wacker 2]

Have recently recevied my bodyshell and I am over the moon with it. It looks far better in real life than it does on previous pictures and the quality of the lexan is superb.

I thought I'd put some pics on for you all - sorry its not a very exciting spray job but I do not have access to an air brush and wanted to get it on as soon as possible for the start of the outdoor season. I will soon be buying another one and get it sent off to a professional to get it looking perfect!

Hope you like, and thanks again to Si at Phat Bodies.

[Wacker 2]

vast improvement on the original X6 or X6 squared bodyshell - not sure if the handling characteristics will be any different?!

I'm happy with it - cant wait to get it on the track!

what chassis is that? i ask because of the way the saddles are mounted

[Wacker 2]

I wondered how long it would take for somebody to pick up on that...

I have slightly modified my chassis to allow saddle lipos. Few reasons why i've done this but the main was that I was thinking of developing a carbon fibre chassis which would have featured a saddle pack set up and so this was a tester to see how it went - so far, very promising. I have only taken out a small amount of the interior moulded strengthening and so the chassis is still very rigid, and when I get my new carbon fibre battery strap made this will help with the rigidity as it will be fixed to the chassis in 4 spots at each corner of the batteries.

I can get some photo's uploaded of the chassis if people would like to see it???

Thanks, Jon

[Wacker 2]

I'll start up a new thread as I dont want to take over this one.. this is to promote the new Phat Bodies bodyshell which I'm all for....

I'll start a new thread and call it "Jon Seals Modded Chassis".

Will be on in about an hour or so!!

thanks, Jon!

Looking good friend :thumbsup:
I like the way the paint follows the lines of the shell ... very nice

But I don't remember sending a shell to the Slovak Republic :confused:

That's truth - you haven't sent any here. I bought c0sie's X6 and got unpainted shell with it (unfortunately without wing - only broken std jconcepts wing).

Fitted shell on my X6^2:

Didn't see this one before, looking smart :)

[Danosborne6661]

And this one looks the bomb :)

[CCristo]

What body is that on the right and what does it fit?

[blue_pinky]

The one on the right, and the undertray next to it, fits the Schumacher Cat by the looks of it!

[MattW]

Yup, they are my shells. The right one is Cat SX, and of course left is Phat bodies X6. There are some decent mounted/action pics in some of the Belgian GP coverage pics from last month.

[Molgorain]

Does the Zen shell come with a rearwing too, or is it bodyshell alone?

[joelwhite]

Comes with the shell and front wing.And some decals too!

[Molgorain]

Thanks for letting me know.
Shall order some shells later then.
