Default HyperGo replacement shells

Hi, I'm on the interwebs looking for the replacement shells.
I've searched via google. and found replacements shells:

H16BM, H16GT, H16DR, H16H, H16E, 16207, 16208, 16209, 16210.

I have my original shell H16DR.
I purchased the H16BM,

I really like the look of angrymelon's HyperGo shell. I want one bad.
Anyone know of a place that sells them?

I'm also curious if anyone has tried put a 14209 or 14301 shell.
How much customization is required?

TIA.

Not a very popular brand in here. I believe those are 1/16 scale, so it might be hard finding shells that will fit perfectly.

I'm not sure where you can get that original HyperGO body shell. It was for the model H16P. Not sure that will turn up any luck on finding it though. I can say that other than the Traxxas style quick release bodies, all of the HyperGo bodies I've purchased fit perfectly. Some that have an integrated wing don't work without modification when you have the plastic wing, as seen on mine. I have used other bodies of the same scale, such as those for the Redcat Volcano-16. The rear body posts lined up great, but I had to redrill the fronts. I used some of the included decals to cover up the existing holes, you cant even tell they're there.

OffRoadJunkie,
Thank, I noticed that out once I started posting questions on this forum.
I'll PM the members directly who started their own threads on these models.
I guess the cheap Asian versions are really frowned upon in this forum.
Right now the HYPERGO is all I can afford at the moment.

Respectfully,

AngryMelon,
Thank you for you suggestion. I started slowly doing my own mods on my HYPERGO. ATM looking of upgrading my steering servo.
If you have any suggestions. Please DM.

Respectfully,

Some will frown on them, but most will not. Most of us understand we all have different budgets. You get what you can and modify it to make it better. Heck, I would love to go out and get a new kit, but that's a little out of my reach.

I'm still running the stock unit. I bought 2 spares thinking I'd need them, but so far I haven't. Sorry I haven't even looked at aftermarket replacements as the stock unit for me seemed plenty good.
