wanted HPI Datsun 240Z mini shell

[Kevin_Mc 355]

As title - looking for a new and unpainted 240z shell to suit an m-chassis. 

It doean’t have to be HPI if anyone knows of any others that are 225mm wheelbase. 

I was watching a new one on eBay but they sold out by the time i was ready to pull the trigger.

always liked the 240's

i'm searching for you now. 

i found some Z's on ebay.

these are considered Mini's? 225mm wheelbase? still considered what scale?

a lil' pricey but dig it! https://www.ebay.com/itm/ABC-Hobby-1-10-Nissan-Fairlady-Z-S30-240ZG-Kit-Clear-Body-Parts-RC-Cars-66151/132482068719?_trkparms=aid%3D333200%26algo%3DCOMP.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20171012094517%26meid%3Db9b2565375ed4f05a0bd84aa5b6f5396%26pid%3D100008%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D254134032536%26itm%3D132482068719&_trksid=p2047675.c100008.m2219

not seeing a size though.

a lil' less expensive.

 i tried to look for HPI's (discontinued)

still lookn' though since i'm always searching for something different.

Thank you for looking. That ABC body is lovely, pity it’s the wrong size. 

I have an m-chassis here specially built for an HPI 240z shell. I wish i had clicked the one on eBay sooner. There’s loads on pre-order / back order with various sellers now but now actually in stock anywhere. 

A 1:1 240z has a wheelbase of 2.31m so the closest that is made to scale is the 225mm one i think. The 257mm ones, including Tamiya’s, are too big in my opinion.

i always saw these various size so called 1/10's just never knew that. thanx for that information dear fella.

anyways all i know is in the Z scale train world a 1/2" = 9 feet HA! it's a crazy lil' world.

like Tamiya calls the Buggyra and their MAN 1/14 yet that Bittydesign calls the Iron 1/10th and they are the same size go figure. maybe in refrence that it fits 1:10 chassis.

well i'll keep a watch out, now you have me wanting a Z that Fair Lady is about the same color as Bad Agness
