dwarfy Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Its been a few years since I had my FG's out but getting back into it this year and after a couple of FG Beetle shells. Is anyone still making the fibreglass body shells? I seem to remember the guy I bought 1 off a few years ago lived in the Portsmouth / Southampton (Fareham seems to ring a bell) and the quality was pretty good. He was part of the local bashing club down that way. Anyone got his details or any other contacts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t2boats Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Great to know of more RC's making a comeback Just had a quick look on eBay and I can't believe the lack of shells now, years ago there were so many to choose from. Can only find one on there now from Germany, fibreglass too. Here's the link (if it works!) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351945359962 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwarfy Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Website says it hasnt been updated since 2011 and nothing showing in his ebay shop either so it looks like he may have shut up shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
