Mad monkey bodyshell and wing

[adam_111]

hi guys,

i know this has probably been asked countless times before, but does anyone know where i can buy a clear or none-ansmann brand bodyshell and wing that would fit the mad monkey in the uk? like a proline shell etc?

cheers!

i also want a clear shell for the monkey the b4 shell dont fit either as its not wide enough

You could try the Phat Bodies Zen -



Its designed to fit the X-Factory X6 so there's a good chance it will fit the Mad Monkey.

Available here - http://phatbodies.co.uk/

Simon.......if that shell is narrow at the front then it won't fit the Mad Monkey as it's quiet a bit wider than the b4/x6 front end

well i got annoyed at looking all over with no avail so iv bit the bullet and ordered 3 sheets of 0.75mm lexan (enough for 3 shells all going well) and i shall set about making my vacuum forming machine out of scrap bits.

i will let you all know how it goes success or not but if they go well i may be able to do the odd one or two.

i will be changing the design tho adding a air vent that can be cut out allowing air flow directly onto the motor for added cooling so no heat sink needed

Hi all, I am waiting to order a body to make a mould from for the Mad Monkey as it seems a lot of people are after one as soon as it happens I will be posting it up, cheers Eric

OK fair enough Lee I've not tried a Zen on a Mad monkey yet so can't say for sure. Would it be possible to trim the body up "over" the bulkhead ? I've done this before on wide chassis'ed cars with good results ...

Simon, when I get 5 minutes ill try and measure the width front and mid, see how it measures up to ya shell ...... I personally would like a close fitting shell to keep as much cr@p out as poss

Cool cheers for that I will be placing an order shortly once I have found a part number for a TR02C chassis, I am thinking of converting my saddle chassis to a stick chassis, seems to make more sense and it saves me having to borrow batterys of a friend everytime I go racing.
