I was in my local hobby shop on Saturday looking for wheels for my RC10T when I saw this sitting on the shelf. Picked it up and canceled my tower order.

Yea I'm not to crazy about the stock body either. The new JCONCEPTS body is better looking and is not so cab forward.

I honestly think the stock body is the best looking body currently available to it (not that that's saying much). I just hate how angular and cartoony the jconcepts and the new proline body are. Atleast the stock body tries to have some curves, even if it looks like it's designed for a driver with no legs.
I also think the cab is way too small. The last sort of realistic body was for the b3, and the cab and windows on that are huge compared to that of the b4, or the b5. Now, I think it looks totally out of scale. A 1:10 scale person could not fit inside there.

I'm not a fan of the forward cab chassis and I'd find a way to mount a viper on it.

I finally pulled the trigger and bought a B5M last night online. Can't wait for it to get here! I'm now buried in projects - got to build the World's car still plus paint some shells for other cars.
