not a big fan of the body shell.... i recon a nice Ferrari F40 body shell would looking awsome!

i'm not keen on it either it looks like the same shell from the menace gtr (nitro)
they did in rtr the shell was white and looked naff in my opinion


the F40 is a dream car :cruising:

does anyone make an F40 shell?

Tamiya has a F40 RC car

but ive never seen the shells sold seperatly and i bet if tamiya did sell them seperatly they would have pre drilled post holes that wouldnt line up with a Mi2 or Mi2EC so it would look stupid!!!

and btw that is the exact same shell (only bigger) that was on the menace gtr car
its made by Frewer

F40 Body needs wide offset wheels to fit a 1/10th scale as its made for Tamiya's C class chassis so is wider than normal i can get em if u want one Matt!!

here's mine:

F40

might take u up on that sometime, looks a stunner

ill take a truckload thx monty :P
