Default PARMA? Interestingly Fugly

Saw this over at the RCCA website. Kinda puts the UG! in ugly. Maybe needs some trimming and better paint.

Fugly aside, it looks like it might rollover better than the flat-topped bodies out there.

It just needs to be slamed down on the chassis and a better paint job and a parascope. I'm getting one

That's why I said interesting. I think that someone will be able to trim it and paint it in a way that makes it look good; sorta like the Proline Spider.

definetly reminds me of Star Wars. Like already said a better paint job and super slam it and trimmed out differently it might actualy look ok. I thought they were coming out with a 2.2 crawler body not a 1.9?

Well, personally I don't think there's anything I could do to help it but I thought I'd throw the idea out there since this is what usually happens...

Lowered only..



Lowered and chopped up...




I like the idea of the roof being curved to the sides, can't believe it took this long for someone to get that hint. But that's about all I like about it, not at all good for the eyes.

That second one looks pretty decent like that!

It looks to me like they were wanting a scale rockracer look, but they obviouly struck out.
