Go ahead haters, flame away! It will be some time before I have time to paint it but I think it looks good slammed down on the chassis.

Based on that pic I think it's gonna look bad ass.

I think that bodys really cool. I was planning on building an F-toy tuber but I might just go for one of these now. I'm not sure how well it would hold up with the windows cut out though?

I really like it. The factory shots don't do it justice IMO. Trainers pics show that it will look good, once again IMO...and we all know opinions are like issholes, everyone has one.

Not much lower than that, the hood catches on the chassis. And unless I change to really high body posts on the back I have to mount it by the sides. Im thinking putting the posts by the shock mounts so they will be around the tube/window. I hope they dont catch on the rocks too much.

Actually, it might rub on full articulation, at least on the front. We'll see.

Just got it painted and mounted. I based my paint scheme on this one:




Tried to copy these colors:




This is what I came up with:




Turned out pretty good IMO. I used Tamiya rattle cans, dark blue and silver semi gloss anod. aluminum. I got some Parma off road stickers to give it a more scale look. The body comes with window masks and a sticker sheet from the Bushwacker. I think the only ones you are supposed to use are the ProLine logos, front lights and and maybe the license plate...

It does rub the Claws in front on full articulation (lot more with the Bighorns), I might have to cut off the "panels" above the front wheel. We'll see.

Sorry for the crappy photos. Hopefully, weather permitting I can get out on sunday and test the Gmade tires and get some action shots with the body.

Still not going to own one, but it looks better mounted low than it did in the Pro Line add.
