Looking for a retro body to fit my new TT-01 build. Doesn't have to be a proper Tamiya one, but I want a decent retro one - probably a Lancia Delta Integrale or maybe an old Skyline. There is a "pre-painted" 'grale on Ebay at the moment. Will that fit a TT-01, or is that for the older original one?
I have sent the seller a question, but he hasn't responded. Any help or further suggestions of bodies would be greatly appreciated.

any 190mm shel should fit, providing you put the correct holes in it

Try ABC hobby's Skyline KPGC110 or Skyline KPGC10. RCMart has them for sale. I have the KPGC110 (not painted yet though), the decals are not superior because they have a fixed lightsource (so the highlights fall on the top of everything displayed in the decal which often doesn't match the lightsource on the body itself), but they look pretty reasonable.
The wing on the car is included and optional, so don't have to add it if you don't like it. They also included something that to me seem like lightbuckets, but I'm not sure since the instructions are in Japanese ONLY.

From what I can remember, the pre-painted Lancia shell was for the TT01 chassis, I bought mine for my TNS (in showroom) that way. I've looked at the holes in the picture, I assume that its the one from Jason?.... anyway, they are the same as the ones on in my shell.

Don't forget that you'll need the matching wheels listed for the complete look.

Presuming it's the same as the KPGC10, they have detailed light buckets with separate lenses and grille. You have a choice of using a sticker for the grille area, or cutting the whole front section out and detailing up the separate two part grille and light unit.


And as has been said, any 190mm bodyshell will fit on a TT01 chassis.

I bought this one the end:



Now to get the wheels - I have seen them on the 'bay - but not sure about the tyres. It will be a shelfer at first, then maybe get some indoor carpet action later on, or possibly outdoor tarmac/gravel. Not sure what the club will be running this year.
I guess a decent looking tyre that will run on tarmac and carpet would be a good comprimise. Suggestions?

Then now I finally know what it's for, and why the bodyset didn't come cheap compared to bodies of other brands I might still need some translation on the instructions when I start working on the body because I certainly want to use the light buckets then!
