Default 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.

the D8T looks fine

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

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.

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.
