MR4BX/BXW Body shell

[Bastos]

Dear Yokomo lovers,

Few days ago, a friend of mine made a "master mould" of the legendary MR4BX World Edition body shell adaptable on both chassis, BX & BX World Edition.

If you are a Collector or still Race driver on the BX...let us know if you are looking for a body shell.
The body shell can be made of "polycarbonate" or "plastic PET".

Please, if you are interesting, for pricing, delay & availability, contact Xavier Renaut at the email address below :

Thank you ;)

Looks promising as I'm a bx fan but a pic of a lexan repro using the mould would be helpful to see before buying.

Is that the finished mould ? It should be primed and flatted with 800 or 1200 wet and then primed again with a much thinner primer before being flatted with 2000 wet before it's waxed, you'll get a much better finish then.

[Bastos]

Don't worry, on the photo the mould was not "finished". But yes it was prepared as you mention ;)

Before 13th of May, I will receive the first body...I will let you know and I will post photos...

[Reo]

yes, i want bxw body! this looks great!

For information :
The thickness will be available in 0,75 and 1 mm.

Why 0,75 or 1 mm ? Because during moulding the lexan or plastic PET is stretching because of the heat. At the end you will have a body with some zone at 0,75, 0,50mm or less. The aim is not to have bodies with weaknesses.
Most of manufacturers choose this "initial" thickness for their bodies.

OK, the first moulding :

Looks super cool, will be even better painted up on a chassis !

[Bastos]

OK guys...sorry for the quality of the photo...
Other subject, it is the undertray...we can do it to :) We've got one, and we can do "sisters"...

Could you be interesting by a "complete package" with "Body/Undertray/Yok Wing" ? ( Wing "Gokuraku Wing Set" with 1mm of thickness )

[Arnefles]

Yes, I like.

I will order from you :-)

I still race the car, it's a beauty to drive!

[Micha_MX4]

I'm interested too, how much is the complete set?

And I'm still looking for an airbrusher in Germany (Bavaria) to paint my shells...

Cheers,
Micha

As for the airbrusher, you could ask Sven Rudig from Ruddog shop if he knows anyone nearby; he's in Freilassing. (http://www.sven-rudig.com/shop2/index.php?page=content&coID=4&x21aa9=3c05af7ddb436727ac47d4bf0764f801)

[Micha_MX4]

okay, thanks!

The factory edition and the standard have the same shells, right?

That means these shell fits my BX Factory?

Thanks guys!

Cheers,
Micha

[Bastos]

Yes it fits :)

[Arnefles]

I sent you a pm :-)

[VikNor]

I just did a rebuild and the only body i got is signed by Masami so i need a body and undertray. Whats the price?

[Bastos]

Hello VikNor,

You got the answer by mp. ;)
Out of that...my friend, who's doing the bodies, is perhaps still in "holidays"...but you got the mp, do not hesitate.
