dog fart 0 Posted March 8, 2007 ignore the shocking paint job, this is a misfit shell so i was pissing about with it before doing the better one (still not got round to doing it!) tamiya tt-01 chassis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 0 Posted March 8, 2007 That looks friggin awesome! Ive been considering getting one, but have no idea whats good, and whats not. I also dont want to spend a $hit load, as ive seen them for £300 - £400! Any suggestions? (this is for the actual car. not the shell) Awigman, if you were really sad, you could make a replica of yours, just like herisites has done with his model...

Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 8, 2007 ignore the shocking paint job, this is a misfit shell so i was pissing about with it before doing the better one (still not got round to doing it!) tamiya tt-01 chassis are they 190mm shells, i have a tl-01 and have found most shells that say they fit, (from the hpi ones) all look shocking i really shouldn't buy another shell but i want to now :lol: where u buy em?

Banana Man 0 Posted March 8, 2007 This brings back memories :D The above shell is the one I had Keith from Kamtec models make, as you couldn't get one anywhere else, it took a few months to make and over 40 people off of this forum bought one in the GB I set up. The ones you have seen on ebay will be taken from the same mold, as I dont know of anyone else that makes a corrado shell in 1/10th scale. IIRC it was a tl-01 that Keith used. I just provided a schabak model and an hpi viper shell for him to work with. Still pisses me off that he started selling the shells on ebay and his website though as the deal was I paid him £500 for the tooling and production of 40 shells and the sole rights to the mold for future purchases, but after a few months after the mold was complete he started selling them on ebay :mad: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dog fart 0 Posted March 8, 2007 http://www.kamtec.co.uk/products.php?Prod_ID=18&prod_cat=10 saw it on ebay but bought it from their website as its cheaper. took a couple of weeks to be delivered as the guy was on holiday (so he threw in a free shell with the tinyest of imperfections. heres a pic from the site if you cant be arsed to click on it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check out here if you fancy a blaast: http://northernrc.com/index.php?&CODE=00 Just got myself a Kyosho MP777 8) Hi mate id love to have the time to get into racing again mate but i have too many hobbies, i have raced my 1/8th a bit. Went to a place down doncaster way, (jct 20 or something or another its called) a few times last year and did a few events but the car has'nt even been ran since about june last year. Its a shame as its an absolute flyer, im running a Novarossi 421B with matching pipe. When i bought the motor and car in 05 it was pretty much the best of everything but suppose it will be old hat now. Ive got a TC4 running a brushless setup etc which has never turned a wheel, intended on getting back down too teeside to race that but have never had the time !! Isnt there supposed to be a rallycross track being built @ karting north east in sunderland? i only live 1/2 a mile away from there, ill get some racing done if that materialises !
