TMaxxDave Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Not sure if this has been covered before. I'm just wondering what rare shells people may have? (Any scale) like bodies that are no longer made, or were really limited edition, or maybe we're not for sale in the UK. Myself, I've got 2 Pikes Peak Escudo shells in 1/10th that aren't made any more (that I've been told) pics to follow. So what has everyone got? I did spy a Cossie shell on here the other day.

Toxic Basher Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I've got two hpi quad bike style shells with immaculate riders. 1 red and 1 green. The riders are pristine but the actuall body shells are not. I'll get a couple of pics up asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan_bench10 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 i had a green and a blue quad shell for the savage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Kyosho texco Sierra cosworth passed through me awhile ago probably the rarest shell I've had. I had a tamiya audi a4 redbull too perfect condition I think that's what made my tt01 get such a good price. I bet any perfect condition shell from the 90s would be rare now.

TMaxxDave Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Not really interested in eBay shells. Just more of what people actually own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMaxxDave Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 I painted these about 9 years ago. The spoiler for the white and red one is in the cupboard somewhere along with the front wings. Both need little tweaks to make them perfect. At the time of painting and stickering them, it was cool, lol. Now I'm not too sure.

TMaxxDave Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Think mine were made by HPI but can't remember. I'm a Ford rally car fan, just not a road car fan. Sent from my iPad Air using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjw Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 This shell (along with the car itself) is 18 years old.......It's on a 1/8th scale, 330mm wheelbase Sinyih.........Not made anymore, but, after an 8 year search, I have managed to source an identical one, brand new & unused......I'm awaiting delivery, hopefully in a month or so............

scrumpy jack Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 In the mid 90's I had a Ford XR2i 1/10 shell I brought from a local model shop, I can't remember what brand it was, possibly Kyosho. I have never seen another one of those shells so I'm guessing it was pretty rare, I do have an old undeveloped film roll with some photos of it somewhere (remember those!) I will get it developed one day! My second RC car I brought after my Tamiya hornet was a Kyosho ultima flatnose 911 turbo model, I have been trying to track down another, but seem pretty rare with this shell- Infact this is one of the few pictures I have seen on the internet of one.
