Thanks all :D

the shell is made by ABC hobby. I got it in a trade, but they're on ebay-
http://www.ebay.co.u...fb#ht_500wt_949

I'm not sure if it'll fit a mardave sorry- I'm away from home at the minute, but if you look on the ebay listing then it has the wheelbase listed as 210mm.

Wheelbase on the mardave is 207mm I think Beccah, is it chip?


Just looked on fleabay a mardave is 204mm, I think a limo is 210mm though, as they're an inch longer

I custom build a chassis for one of these shells using stainless steel plate and used a mardave ministox as a donor car for the running gear/receiver etc ill put up a pic later, looks pretty mean!
