opinions on 'next gen' truggys - looks only
 
what do people think to the looks of what seems to be the 'next gen' shape truggys? - the really low ones like the Losi 8T 2.0 and the proto HB D8T

I can understand the reason why, but you get into the realms of TC shells then, rather than the shell being an asthetic piece that makes yours look different to another brand, they all end up looking like blobs, you might as well chuck a buggy shell on them.

jimmy 28-01-2009 01:41 PM

the D8T looks fine

But.......

The losi? WOW - that's the ugliest and worst conceived thing I've ever seen! :lol:

Chris Doughty 28-01-2009 01:51 PM

I wont say this too loud, but I really like the Losi shell.

I actually like the form follows function mentality and I predict that you will start to see some rad looking Truggy shells spring up.

DCM 28-01-2009 01:55 PM

yes, not too loud chris, or the fashion police will come and make you drive an Allegro....

mark christopher 28-01-2009 01:59 PM

the losi diff looks interesting tho

jimmy 28-01-2009 02:13 PM

Clearly isn't anything like a truck so should be banned - what next - F1 or 'insect' shaped bodies running in a so-called 'truck' class? bollocks. :lol:

Chris Doughty 28-01-2009 02:31 PM

they are all ready a million miles away from anything truck like with their wheels being a billion miles out from the bodywork.

Danosborne6661 28-01-2009 03:02 PM

The Losi looks more like a tadpole than a truggy!

Chris Doughty 28-01-2009 03:08 PM

I bet its got a tonne of steering though :thumbsup:

jimmy 28-01-2009 03:31 PM

so you can quickly steer it into a lake and drown the poor sad thing.

Chris Doughty 28-01-2009 04:02 PM

haha... poor thing

lochness42 28-01-2009 04:31 PM

I actually like Losi Truggy shell as well. Looks soo low :D

peetbee 28-01-2009 04:40 PM

It looks almost as though it's got too hot and started melting, so that it's sagging in the middle!

IceMike 28-01-2009 04:47 PM

i agree with Jimmy, that losi looks aweful!!! worst looking car i have seen in a while

rcracer 28-01-2009 05:17 PM

What was it modeled on a ford transit flat back truck :bored:

ashleyb4 28-01-2009 05:28 PM

I dont like the new losi shell either i also dont like the AE one either iky. But to be fair look at the x6 the shell isnt pretty but its a bloody quick car. But remember its what is underneith that counts.

In "your" opinion........... LOL

The X6 grows on you a LOT, I wasnt sure at first but now I really like it, as for the 8T 2.0, I have raced Losi cars without a break since the XX back in 1993 and this IS the ugliest spud ever!!!! It looks like the 8 buggy has hit it so hard up the a*%" that they have merged together.....

Mike Hudson 28-01-2009 06:22 PM

I used to hate the looks of the X6 and X5 but really grew on me when i got to know one :wub X5 is still very ugly though! :cry:

Darren Boyle 28-01-2009 06:25 PM

I dont think we will ever enter our X5 into any R/C beauty contest... :cry:
