Alternative Pumpkin bodyshell?

[RichardJ]

Chaps, is there a sort of buggy/crawler type bodyshell that will fit my Pumpkin chassis? I'd like to have something that I can use with it whilst I've got my 'L' plates on rather than scratch and scrape the truck shell.

I had a beat up old M03 mini body that I use on my lunchbox now and then. I've used the lunchbox mounts though.

I'm looking at this on eBay...it's the sort of thing I'm after, just hope it'll fit?

I can't see that fitting on a pumpkin chassis. Would look a bit weird on there as well.

 

Might be better off with something like this:

It's a clear shell so the paint wont scratch off and keeps the looks of the pumpkin while you keep you original shell for Sunday best.

Maybe you're right...it would look a bit weird.

Very weird, lol!

I picked up a radio shack Audi Quattro shell from the bay for a fiver, originally as I figured I could slap it on an M chassis...however, offering it up to the LB chassis has given me a new idea...just need to work out the best way of attachment....

It's amazing how these ideas pop into your head. I had the idea of putting a Kamtec VW campervan shell on my Blizzard chassis...it fits, and I think it looks pretty good.
