My experience with TBG bodies is that there always a little small have you tried Steve as penguin if he’s not got it for sale on eBay then just message him to see if he’s got them

I had a Matt Francis XXXT shell from TBG and it is a good repro, but I'll see if Penguin have anything. Thanks for the heads up.

Steve's (Penguin) Xcellerator body for the XX is spot-on - I donated an original un-cut Losi body for use to get the mould produced, I'd say the quality & sharpness of Penguin's moulds are on a par with TBG - with the advantage of actually being the same size as the original so will fit your car just as well as the original would have

Sorry, my post wasn't clear. I see that TBG has all their stuff back on eBay, but I wanted to see if Penguin do anything similar and I can't find any bodies on their website, do they only sell through eBay?
