Default Possible Phat shell ...
I gather that there's divided opinion on the stock Vega shell ....

So what about something like this instead -






Let me know what you think, if there's enough interest I might put it into production ....

Like it a lot ! The Vega shell could be nice but need a well thought painting schem.

Really like the Cougar shell in the flesh but could you use thicker lexan on this one ?

I have to admit we're not top drivers and wing/body shell take a lot of abuse

Just run the stock shell when you get your, Tom. Aerodynamically it suits the car!
I will reply to your email as soon as, buddy.

Is this designed for the vega or is it a cougar shell?
Does look nice!

Cheers, but neither

It was made for a custom B4/X6 buggy I ran last year but it got ditched in favour of a 22 ....

But the layout is very similar to the Vega so will probably fit with a little work ....

I really like this shell and would definitely order one. Any news if and when a Vega version would be available?

I like it, I don't even have that car, my initial thoughts we're "it looks lazy", like it's just relaxing far too much. Maybe that could be a name for it if you haven't thought of one already

Unfortunately the first shell didn't fit very well, but why should it, it was designed for a completely different car !!

I did try one of our 22 shells on the Tamiya version Vega, and the fit was really good, but you will need to use a separate spur gear cover like on the 22.....

The 'Rocco' looks like this -



I'll try get some pics of the bodyshell fitted up to a Vega soon

If your interested or want some more pics of the body look here - http://phatbodies.co.uk/
