Azarashi Vaykal Bodyshell for X6

[Nige55]

oh yeah, and at least it's more daring and exciting than the dullness proline churns out. They manage to do a B44 shell to fit everything, and a B4 shell to fit everything, even the standard RB5 shell looks better than their option !

i'd have to have one painted up myself to give a final decision of whether i like it or don't maybe it's just that paint scheme in the pics

[rc boy]

the shell looks alrite but dont think i would have 1 to be honest i like the original 1 i dont think there is anything wrong with it its just different from any other shell thats being used on cars but i dont think just because of this shell it will improve sales

You obviously don't know the kind of hatered that people have for the look of the X-6

I just think that there are ways and there are WAYS to do it, the shell can be made just as 'aerodynamic' (I hate that word in relation to shells and wings, as it isn't that) as it can still look asthetically pleasing, but then one persons sleek and elegant is someone elses carbunckle isn't it.

But I am liking that new shell!!

[telboy]

I think it looks pretty cool. Much like the RB5, but there are a few points like the shape of the shell on the 'rear sides' where it kick outwards. not very good for waterproofing because it doesn't 'hug the chassis....as i found out with the RB5.
And the wing. I've never liked their wings. They just dont look right.

I do quite like the original style shell though. And its very easy to paint and most designs suit the original too.

but then again if there picking a car for its looks, it would explaine why theres loads of slow cars on the track,

I like the original shel. The azarashi one is okay aswell but I'm not sure about the back of it.

[YoungChazz]

I doubt anyone will do this, but it would be an interesting exercise: Paint our shell and the new one identically. Put them on a car and put the photos side-by-side. That's the only real way to see which one likes best.

I think the paint scheme has much to do with how a shell looks. Some cars make a certain scheme look good while other shells make other schemes look good. A given scheme may look great on this car but terrible on that.

One thing I think few people know: The X - 6 chassis is exactly the same width as the B4, thus the shells are equally wide.

Defo agree with you on that one Chazz. Though I'm no pro when it comes to the art of making clear lexan not very see-through but I do try to 'sense' the lines and flow of a shell - to accentuate the lines and make best of the natural curves. That is - I do when I get free rein to play with my air brush.

It's nice to have a bit of variety and I think it says more about how popular the X-6 has become than it does about the shape of the original.

Trouble is - if the X-6's no longer look like X-6's, how will I know which cars are gonna be tricky to beat when we all line up on the grid.

[Darren Boyle]

At the speed we are all selling X6 kits the advantage wont be around for much longer since at this rate everyone on the grid WILL BE AN X6!!!!!!!

[Gnarly Old Dog]

Goddammit it's just not fair.

You guys are just doing too good a job.

I LIKED having an unfair advantage. It was fun

Now I've got to work at it

Still, it'll be something to tell the grandchildren ...

"I remember them days - when all this was nothing but fields - and when there used to be more B4's at a meeting than anything else. Long time ago now kids - long before you were born..."

wernt far off this weekend at our regional. x6's by far out weighed the b4 in both the top heat and the a final, think it was 7/3 or even 8/2 in the final

[mattym0310]

x6's dont quite take up the majority of top drivers in our NE regionals, although there are many around. At Batley the A final was 6 B4's, 2 X6's and 1 D2. Lower down the ranks there seemed to be a lot more.

[mattym0310]

but anyway, whos volunteering to paint up two identicle shells??

Matty, we have 10 in a final!

3 X6's
6 B4's
1 D2

And an X-6 won, tripple euro's A finalist wheeling it round, he really tamed the track!

[Darren Boyle]

At our regional at Silverstone at the weekend there was six in the A (and 4 B4's) but they were the first six on the grid!!! Alex carter won with the X6 too.

World domination is on its way..................... LOL

[Lee]

[Darren Boyle]

It was indeed me old mucker!!!! I was third on the grid, Kev Lee was TQ
