Where's the best place to get a 200mm high quality bodyshell

[leedsrhinos126]

As title, I bought a really nice Mk2 Escort bodyshell second hand which is the wrong size for my Maverick Strada DC evo s. It would fit with high off set wheels but now want a 200mm high quality Jap shell, S14 or similar. Also want to run 0 off set wheels to give a real wide stance.

Any UK website suggestions.

Anybody know if Ford Sierra Cosworth bodyshells are available anywhere as I would like to replicate my real car I will be getting this month?

Unsure on the Sierra shells but Matrixline do loads of 200mm shells, decent quality and cheap too. Tamiya are another good shout, a bit pricier but really good.

Radshape RC offer great body shells. I am quite a fan of the pandora shells 2 of which arrived yesterday and look stunning.

theres a few places which i know off pal. which have already been mentioned.

 

as for sierra cossie shells there has been a batch recently made but they are expensive and i they just dont look right to me. there is something wrong dimension wise.

 

there is some uber money to be made if someone would do a decent mould

Pity HPI and Kyosho discontinued their Sierra Cosworth shells. They do show up on eBay occasionally though. Not sure if the Kyosho shells were the right size though.

There was a chap on the RC Drift Lichfield Facebook page selling and I think making RS500 shells and I only had a quick look but they seemed pretty good tbf just a thought for u dude it was a while back though so it'll be pretty far down the page

Yokomo shells are generally what I have found to be the most detailed BUT not really a big selection and have to usually buy light buckets as a sperate. Pandora shells also are detailed but depending on what you go for, can be thinner than Yokomo. Both are durable but not really amazing.

 

Tamiya have a good balance but at 190mm, its not the widest so you might have to sit and think. 

 

Personally even though Yokomo are the most expensive option, the detailing is always good and my recommendation.
