Now leave the roof line low and slant it down a little bit towards the front windsheild.

Sidepanel and roofline looks just like an F-toy to me.

Gotta agree on the body drop, but it looks like the front and rear are too wide to work with the standard offset Axial axles and Proline rims afterwards. Probably will have to chop the hell outta the front and rear.


BTW, WTF is with the fugly outlaw cowl induction set up?

Good idea, bad follow through...

I think it is way too BIG!!!If they shrunk it down to Helios size I think they would have a winner IMO...

definatly looks much better slammed but my main concern is how wide the body is. it looks like wheel clearence at max turn and articulation would be a problem

I love it! Partially because so many members hate it. I think mounted lower like in the photo chop it will look good.

Same here. I like it! Another crawler body option is always good. People have hated on just about all new bodies 'til somebody posted pics of 'em trimmed and mounted.

I made another chop to try to please the ladies. IMO it looks better just slammed. The proportions seem to get funky after the roof is lowered. I did trim up the sides, but when these release you won't be able to trim them and still have the rock slider bar of the tuber. The body is badass. Whether it's fugly or not.:-P

to Pro-line

1st pic : lowered roof and trimmed sides
2nd pic: just the body is mounted lower.

If some one wants to make a tuber body it needs to be narrower. I would also like to see a single seater type body with the offset cage to one side. It would lokk like a crawler buggy with a narrow roof. This way on a rollover hopefully it will always have 2 tire touching the ground. something similiar to these photos is what I would like to see

No, its a Formula Toy.

I'll post some pictures since no one around here seems to know what a Formula Toy is.
