Dont do it. It has taken me ages to get mine all masked up. They have very poor decals for lights and no window masks. They are made from very thin Lexan too. I would think these are best left to the experts

[ballsie]

Are they a one crash job then?

[Garrypd160]

Not driven one yet to check, but they really feel flimsy compared to any other shell I've had. Protoform, Hotbodies etc

don't know Alan but they would I suppose have to pass the BRCA test to be approved by them, so would think they are reasonabley crashable with out being demolished like most shells thick or thin, maybe need a bit more care from marshells when handling though as they may be subject to tearing if just picked up by the rear of the shell.

You can't expect that a Marshall is gonna treat one car differently from another.

I'll avoid these I think.

Personally, I wont buy them again. Not when you look at the price and Quality of the moore speed shells.

I got an HPI shell at the same time as the two slipstream ones (practicing painting) and its like a tank compared to them

i think i'll stick to the Protoform and Hotbodies shells

[ballsie]

You can really fault the shells from Protoform & Ride. I haven't seen a Moore Speed first hand, but I imagine they're pretty good & reasonably priced too :)

is there a uk source for moorspeed shells??
im looking for a few for the start of the year

[Garrypd160]

I bought a moorespeed shell from Modelsport a while ago, so I take it theres a Uk source

Thats why I reinforce the rears of mine and sometimes put rear foam bumpers on them:-D :wink: :wink: :grin:

Moore Speed are distributed by Mirage - so all their retailers should be able to get them.

you have Alan I showed you mine at the club last year M8, admitedly you were in and out cos you had somewhere to go if I remember right M8.
It was the Stratus versions that I got for £13 odd, godd value for money; they are now circa £15 if I remember right.:-D ;-)

CMF Hobbies in Glasgow (Duke Street) do the HB Moorespeed shells. I've been using them for a while now and they are great value, although not quite as thick lexan as the PF shells.

Where abouts on Duke Street raymond?

[raymondkerr]

Coming from the city centre end of the town, it is on the lefthand side, accross from bathgate street at the tenament flats - next to Greggs Bakers.
