Best Looking Buggies and/or Buggy Bodies Ever!

Post by MotoObscura »

The title says it all, what are, in your opinion, the best looking off-road buggies ever made? Ipost some images too!
I'll go first and say that one of my favorites is the proline déjà vu tu for the b2/b3

Not just because it's my car, but I've always loved the original Optima body--as long as a wing is added. I personally think it needs a wing to complete the look. The body has nice classic lines and lots of cool design elements; little scoops and simulated venting here and there, simulated louvers, the strips behind the windows, etc.

For Tamiya, I always liked the Boomerang body (not my car).

I don't mean to stir up any hate, but I would like to post a cab forward body....
The proline bulldog for the losi 22. Not the best looking buggy ever, by a long shot, but I think it may be the best looking cab forward body. I think the roof scoop really improves it by eliminating that blank area that typically is on cab forward bodies.

All those tube style chassis are cool. They remind me of a picture I saw earlier on an article about gene hustings that he got the inspiration for the rc10 from. I suppose they are the most realistic by a long shot.
Especially the scorpion

The Turbo Scorpion and G-Force are definitely on my short list but there's others I can think of, and others that I'm sure I'm forgetting, that make it hard to choose the "best". Original Shuey Cat body is also worth mentioning.

The HB Stealth Bomber tho.... :?



If I thought the Fast Lanes Exotics GT-110 would pass as a "buggy" body...it's an on-road body specifically made to fit off-road buggies....this would be a much easier choice. :P

At least that looks more like a fighter jet than a deformed sperm cell.
