| New body from Pro-Line - Ambush CGR 12.3 wb
Hopefully this means we will be getting a few more makes in this old school cgr style body. Bronco, Blazer, Ramcharger maybe? The interior looks pretty good too. RPP has these ready for pre-order. Proline #3505-00 Ambush with Ridge-Line cage https://www.prolineracing.com/bodies...cage-crawlers/ |

I saw this. The lack of details on the front makes it look like some knockoff. It's horrible and not up to Proline's typical standard.

Bummer, it is somewhat "meh" in the crawler body version. It actually looks best in the PRO-MT 4x4 / Stampede 4x4 version... In fact it looks MUCH better than the factory bodies for either of those. |

Yeah it does look flat and void of detail. A plastic grill would've made a world of difference. I do like the cage and interior though. |

some 3d printed grill and mirrors, maybe some rear lights. Not far off from having a pretty nice looking scale body. Kinda International Scout esque

Yeah a Scout is what it's based off of. I'm sure Mr. Knight could knock out some printed parts in short order. I bet it would be easy to incorporate a Tamiya FJ or Bronco grill on this body. The body is plain enough to make it whatever you want too. We used to install clod grills on the Blazer CGR's back in the day. What I was saying earlier is the Pro-Line CGR line of bodied included the Ambush, Blazer, Bronco and a Ramcharger. Hopefully Pro-Line plans to release new versions of all of them. We'll see I guess.

I hope Proline follows their recent trend and sends one over to RC Nerds so he can work his magic. There is a lot of potential in this body with the right accessories.

| Re: New body from Pro-Line - Ambush CGR 12.3 wb Buying Shapeways items is adding a lot of cost to a body. Proline can mold the stuff and barely raise the price of the body. Proline is slacking and they should be called out for it.

As said above by Jato, and also it's a very expensive body already... Although I guess that they justify it by including the cage.

Exactly, the body is $70 already, $10-20 in paint. Sure seems like they could sharpen the model a little and get some small details factored in there. | |

Meh. They need to up their game and start doing bolt in detailed grilles. The 3D printed stuff gets spendy once you start adding in headlight lenses and such. I'm hoping they bring back the Ramcharger body. |

I've always wanted a Scout, but yeah this is a bit lackluster unfortunately. I'd prefer a roof, I think it would help differentiate this from all of the Broncos.

Looks like the dash is a separate overlay, I wonder if the cockpit is molded as 1 piece with the outer body. I'd like to have the cockpit/dash as individual pieces to add to my Dolt body.

The stampede version would be a great fit for a barrage since stampede bodies are know to fit them.

All they had to do was put more detail into the front grille... and it would've made it acceptable.

I'm kinda disappointed that it appears to be dovetailed, if it wasn't, I'd look into putting one on my Telluride.
