Yeah now that I see that angle it is messed up. Couldn't tell from the angle of the first picture.

I guess I'll have to settle for a Tamiya version on a CMX, CFX, or CC01 chassis if I wanted one.

Man, when you compare their old discontinued body with the new one-all I can think is "What happened?"

Good catch! The paintjob, alone, makes the body look like ass. But when you point that out it's now something I can't overlook.

Proline is going downhill. Just look at the body durok posted and how well Proline used to do things.

Well I dont want to beat a dead Horse but It just dawned on me yesterday the scale of this thing will not match many other rigs being that its a massive 19" long to match up with a 12.8" wheelbase. Thats nearly as long as the Traxxas Defender body (its 20" long) which is crazy. This thing is going to look GIANT!
I think it might be closest to 1:8 scale. I'd be curious to see it next to a few other bodies.

My Tamiya FJ40 body is just under 15" long for a 10" wheelbase and as far as scale is a touch too small (for 1:10 scale). RC4WD's FJ40 body is 16 1/2" long for an 11" wheelbase and its definitely too big to be 1:10 scale, its more like 1:9 scale.

I also noticed they've missed that the front axle is actually pushed forward a bit, it is not meant to be centered in the front fender well. They've placed it too far back. So really if you are to correct this you'd need to stretch the wheelbase to something like 13 1/4" and adjust the body mounts/holes.

I hope you're taking notes Proline!
