hummm
on secound looking (fished out the un painted viper body i have here)
your right, the windows are different.
so i checked it against my b2 body, nope, not that
b3 ? nope
b4 ? nope
b4 crowd pleaser ? nope
b4 vortex ? nope
b4 jconcepts ? nope
so i came to two conclusions
1. i have too many unpainted bodys
2. i have no idea what the body is sorry

Cats,
That is a RCPS Turbo Mirage Body. Part # C120.
The original versions of this shell did not come with and ESC scoop on the left hand side. They were introduced on latter versions. I have one unpainted if you need photos.

I may be wrong Dual, but according to me the Turbo Mirage had a scoop while the Mirage hasn't, 2 bodies, 2 names...

You are wrong on this one.
The original Turbo Mirage (not Mirage) bodies did not come with scoop. They were introduced on th bodies later on ala Worlds Car.
The Mirage was a different looking shell. More boxed shape.
Let me know if you would like some photos of the Turbo Mirage bodies with and without the ESC scoop.
