Normally I like Proline, but this body just looks off to me. Something about the front...looks like it's having an allergy attack and it's all puffed up. I think Jconcepts did this body much better.

I'm sure it would look better on a short Yeti though.

This body does look odd. Honestly, it looks like something JConcepts would make not Proline. I say that because usually JConcepts is the company that tends to be "off" in terms of having features to scale and their bodies tend to look odd. But in this case this Proline body looks odd.

I went and checked out the JConcepts body and surprisingly it does look better. It's rare for me to think JConcepts does anything better than Proline. But recently things have been changing. I think, in some ways, Proline has lost their way. They have been putting out a lot of sub par stuff the past couple of years.

yeah i was going to get the Jconcepts version but sadly they don't make them anymore.
i will try a few things to make this look better.
first thing to go will be the very out of place "bumper".

ordered some Boom Racing TH links from asiatees last night. i was going to get the Hot Racing links but it was like half the cost for Boom stuff. *shrug* should get the job done.
not sure if i need the yeti score cage or not. might get a T-Bone Racing front bumper, need to figure out interior too. (might just hack up the Y-380 interior)
to be clear, my yeti was an RTR rock racer (bought used with tons of upgrades already done). been wanting an excuse to convert it to a (RWD?) Trophy truck.

build thread when it all gets here.
