Default New bodies
Hi guys

Just found that on the homepage of my favourite japanese airbrusher. Seems like Kyosho and Yokomo are working on some better looking shells.

Cheers

Sebastian

The Yokomo is DEFINATELY a JConcepts shell, and I reckon the Kyosho one is too, hard to tell if it got the tell tail yukky side pods.

Could be right. Both show the typical "cab forward" design of the BJ4WE body.

Ouch, I don't like that Yokomo one much.

the Kyosho one is better, I like the sidepods I think the S4 might have to use something similar!

Chris you have to admit that the Yokomo one looks way better than the original BX body...

the only thing I didn't like about the origional yokomo body was the shallow angle on the wind screen, it just didn't have a drivers cockpit as such.

I guess when anything is new, it takes people a while to get used to it, once its been in action a few times then it will become familar and more attractive

The new Yoke in that photo looks quite nice - but I have seen other photos with less attractive paint and different angles and it looked a bit naff, soooo.

I guess it means, uhmmmm, "Slightly offensive to the eyes" - I guess it depends on the paint and the angle though like I said. I quite liked parts of the original, but the motor pod spoilt it for me.
