PhatBodies - Hand made full Phat engineering

 

In a world full of mass produced products manufactured in the far east by inanimate robots, its always refreshing to find design and production innovations on our home shores. If its striking designs and hand made British products that your after then look no further than Bristol based father and son design duo Si and Dan Osbourne, better known to the off-road racing scene as Phat Bodies. Their range of uniquely styled and superbly functional body shells and wings are a real breath of fresh air in an otherwise saturated market place where instead of 'following the leaders' Phat Bodies have set their own standards as far as transforming your beloved buggy into a full Phat race machine.

Their current range includes body shells for 1/18th, 1/16th and the ever expanding 1/10th scale off-road buggy formats. Phat Bodies also produce a range of wings to assist racers in not only creating a super sleek looking buggy, but also giving each driver a range of tuning options when it comes to that invisible handling element we all want more of...down force.

Each product is lovingly created by Si in his small-scale workshop and you can gurantee that no lifeless machine has forged your Phat Bodies product. Racers all over the world have been helping to elivate this family run RC enterprise to cult status with Phat Bodies products appearing on internet forums in the hands of off-road fans from Sweden to Texas.

Following the quickly cemented success of the Phat Bodies body shell range, the team set out in creating a really unique product that has become synonomus with 'home-brew' cheakyness at race meetings all over Europe. The Chunk 2wd 1/16th buggy conversion kit was tested by Dan Osbourne prior to production and can be attributed to almost creating its own class at both national and club level race events. The Chunk is soon to be realeased in it's 4th incarnation and will benefit from several major design improvements after extensive feedback from the race community on this amazing micro 2wd format. Each conversion kit requires the owner to craft their own mid-motor 2wd beast from several other 'donor' cars and there is a strangly satisfying feeling when the finished conversion takes off from its first ramp like it was created by an alchemist!

The Phat Bodies team are a really friendly, customer focused, and forward thinking bunch. They strive for innovation whilst always staying strongly driven to create products that work whilst also looking aesthetically pleasing. If, like us, you are keen to see British made, quirky RC production thrive then invest in a Phat Bodies product. You wont just look good at your next race meeting, but you will benefit from hours of intense design development, years of racing knowledge, and a truly unique hands-on production process that harks back to the golden years of British manaufacturing. Next time you get asked if you want diet or low salt...screw up your face with displeasure and shout.....I WANT FULL PHAT!
