Default Vektor Racing Intercept shell for DEX410

Well, I've been tinkering with some CAD software and thought I'd design a shell for the 'rango.

What do you guys reckon?

I've got prices for making the actual vacuum formed shells but still trying to sort out the mould. Looking into getting it made at the Uni on the cheap

I would have me on of those, I was looking at the FS2 shell Friday night to put on my Durango.

This looks like a mix of the FS2 and Rango!

Yeah deffo fs2 influence. Quite like that shell so thought take that as a cue.
Just gone for something with more space under and bigger cooling space.

Its not a bad shell the Gainabull, but I find it a little awkward looking and little to soft and fat. Very dependent on paint job!!

I prefer shells a bit more angular and aggressive.

Don't change it. Mean and aggressive, it looks killer.

I think it looks cool ! Hope you can get them made, where's the problem coming from with the mould ? It looks like you have a decent computer file to supply them ?

Yeah getting the mould made is proving difficult, cant really afford to get it machined from ali or something. Most people I've spoken to seem to mould it all by hand but im no good at that sort of thing

Still trying to get a contact at the uni to see if can use their rapid prototype machines to get a good original from.

Not giving up just yet

You dont need ali to make the mould. u could use mdf, or plastic.

wouldnt use wood in its oridinal form as it may disform during the moulding process.

count me in if you can form these!
