I like it!

MD ENFORCER · 11-28-2018, 09:00 AM

Waiting to see more angles, but I'm a fan so far.

HumboldtEF · 11-28-2018, 11:24 AM

I just hope the side airbags dont blow with extremely light trailing like the 1:1's

Sarcasm aside its nice to see new models getting picked up, even if I'm not into them. Plus GM can really use the licensing moneys at the moment.

From the Proline page

'SKU: 3517-00
$43.31
List Price: $50.95
You save: $7.64
Chevy Colorado ZR2 Clear Body for 12.3" (313mm) Wheelbase Scale Crawlers'

EDIT: I also spotted a 1965 Toyota Land Cruiser with a coming soon page (12.8" wheelbase), I think they used to make this body for bashers. https://www.prolineracing.com/bodies...clear-body.asp

Shinchu · 11-29-2018, 02:36 PM

huh. now this i could see at 12.3" WB. that's kinda cool for a modern turk!

*i REALLY like how they made the integrated rollbar transition from cab to bed. bravo, proline!

Browneye · 11-29-2018, 02:40 PM

WTF???

My DD:

Shinchu · 11-29-2018, 02:43 PM

hahaha YES!!!!!!! do it chris! you'll need an interior of some sort. DO IT!!!!!!
*eugh needs light buckets too. i hate nascar looking headlight decals.

Browneye · 11-29-2018, 03:05 PM

Frankly, I like the old 'yota better. I'm on the waiting list for both.

HumboldtEF · 11-29-2018, 04:18 PM

Proline has some pictures of the body up now on their page https://www.prolineracing.com/bodies...clear-body.asp

Browneye · 11-29-2018, 05:44 PM

I want the vintage yota.

But 12.8 WB? It's for a GD TRX!! LOL

I'll just stretch mine out...

soze · 11-29-2018, 08:11 PM

Shinchu · 11-30-2018, 08:58 AM

yeah the idea of a 12.3 FJ is... NO. i'd rather the 10.8 WB of the RC4WD hardbody.
i still think that Colorado is great in lexan though. very "do work" type so you don't have to baby the rig. nice.
that said i suppose a lexan FJ would be okay so you don't have to baby the hardbody. but, that wheelbase...

toss the Colorado on the RC4WD/JD Models desert runner for the IFS and you're set!
or is a lexan body on that chassis considered blasphemy?

Browneye · 11-30-2018, 09:46 AM

Oh, I'll be doing an all black Colorado body alright, with bright wheels...just because.

The FJ? I guess a half-inch is quite a bit to extend a scx or ascender....dayum.

I just have not gone the hard-body route as of yet in my RC journey. The way my lexan bodies look after a few runs I just know it would completely destroy a nice detailed model.

Browneye · 12-07-2018, 08:35 AM

Look what arrived yesterday...

Browneye · 12-12-2018, 08:42 AM

The 'new' Colorado is ready...

My 2015 Colorado Extended Cab 4X4...

kincer · 12-12-2018, 08:44 AM

That body is SWEET!

Browneye · 12-12-2018, 08:52 AM

I was showing the wife progress steps in finishing it and she was meh. Then when it was done and on the chassis her eyes about popped out of her head - then it all made sense. "Oh well that's WAY nicer than YOUR truck!"

Nice! My wife would've just gave me another "meh".

Shinchu · 12-12-2018, 10:01 AM

haha yeah i show her a pic of somebody's super scale looking rig im like WOW look how real this looks! she goes "yup." hardly looks up from her phone. lol

but yeah Chris that turned out nice! its a little on the narrow side though huh? hmm. otherwise it looks really cool! always nice to have a "mini me" version of your 1:1.

Browneye · 12-12-2018, 10:54 AM

The new body is just slightly narrow, but the PitBull's are ridiculously huge, and the wheels offset some. I think it would look a LOT better with some new alloys and a 4-1/2" tire. I'll work on that.

[shrug]

This is the same chassis as I run the Silverado body on. Here you can see it's not much different as far as width...
