Wheeew... really hard to look at. I'm a big fan of Jconcepts, but this is awful. Sorry, Jason, it's really bad.

its very performance related.

I'm a big "form follows functions" person, I like it!

I like the big wings on the back of FIA GT cars, I like those massive wings on the Pikes Peak rally cars, I like the way F1 cars look all for the same reason, they look like that because that is how they need to look to go fast!

Why???? why make a such an ugly shell for a car that already got an ugly shell to begin with?
Americans just dont know how to design a good looking shell for rc cars that is.

I think a lot of you are missing the point here,

do you remember the days when we all ran those moulded 'yokomo' style wings on the 10th scales.

we soon realised that yes, they didn't break and lasted ages, but take it off and put a lexan one on and all your grip-roll problems disapeared.

now-a-days we run bit 7.5 inch rear wings, when Losi first brought out their HD wing kit it looked funny but its almost the accepted norm.

these 'cab forward' bodies shocked the 8th scale world a couple of months back, but seeing more and more of them around they are starting to look like the norm.

like it or not, I'm sure you will see more of these cab-forward designs around.

of course, you can still run whatever shell you think looks the best, just the same as I'm sure there are people running moulded wings and 2.0 inch wheels and tires now

Hmm, the name says it all... the question is who gets punished?
The shape does not make sense for electric (...but I'll probably get one anyway...).

Butt ugly!!!

I'd have to look the other way if I was to drive that freakshow!

What happened to the saying "Good looking cars go fast"?

Kind of like it...but not the paint, does not fit the lid at all...maybe i have to talk to PhatBODIES and see if they can do a AtomicCarbon S4 cab forward one

Lid thumbs up
Paint, down,

Yep it does look quite radical and I suppose it's evolution at the end of the day... I do prefer the 'traditional' shape when it comes to 10th off road shells tho
