No need to apologise, JConcepts are great.

The shell is ok, I prefer it to the kit CR one but I think maybe the drivers cabin is a bit long or something..

and there was me thinking the CR shell was boring and ugly... JConcepts have worked hard to make it worse, no offense, but there is just no shape to that at all, I am just so glad companies like Atomic Carbon are making interesting and shapely shell for the S4....

well i must say that it looks cool...on first look, yeh it looked abit odd, but after i think now it looks cool...any losi is gonig to look bad ( he he ) but its different, if they made it the same as the kit, what would be the point....

Thing is, the original BK2 shell had the ridges on the nose peice and an interesting cockpit line, on the CR, they lost the nose peice ridges and the interesting roof line, JConcepts have basicaly made the boring cockpit longer, ok, they have added their usual swoopy roof and funny rear part to the sidepod, but it just got no shape to it.

It looks really cool, reminds me of the Jammin shell for the XX.

The paint and lighting isn't ideal there, there's a lot more definition to the front of the sidepods than there looks to be in the picture.

You can definately see the B4 details coming through in this JConcepts shell.

I'd like to see some of the newer shells catering for the height of brushless speedos. It's not easy getting a speedo thats nearly 40mm in height under any shell (except the S4) even if you can get it under, you still need air flow for the fan.

Perhaps a XX-4 shell with additional power "humps"
