I bet half of all B5 silencer orders yesterday went into some big ole box addressed to Larry. I know mine did.

It most certainly is but think of the stock body with a blockier look. Nothing ground breaking or refreshing in any capacity. I really like JC products but for lids I prefer Proline over JC. All the JC Bodies since the changeover to Cab Forward have been too thin, especially on the sides. My T4.1 body is thoroughly thick up top but the sides are considerably thinner to the point they're almost floppy. My buddy's 44.2 body was similarly thin on the sides as well, only not quite as thin, but certainly thinner than Bulldog bodies. Plus, I dislike the look of the Finnisher buggy bodies. They just look a bit off to me.

Having said that, I prefer the older bodies to Cab Forward anyways but what I really like about Pro-Line is how they don't just sit on their designs and actually continue to refine their designs to continually extract even the smallest bits of improvement.

Matt Mine would have but I had other stuff in the order, and I literally live 3 blocks from larry, so when I go over to bust on zack for his birthday I will just bring it with me.

If I can get my buddy to commit to a day and time to sit with me to hash out my design I might be able to start producing my own body for the B5 and depending how well it does, perhaps I can adapt it for other popular vehicles. (been out of 3D for a bit and currently lack the skeeelz to do it all myself)

It's my own personal design that copies nothing from any lid anyone makes. I have some knowledge of Aero and applied many real world principals it to come up with my final product, though it took several rounds to get just right. Thew idea is to better capture and control the turbulent air coming off and around the shock tower to feed it to the rear wing more efficiently and to sweep as much dirty air around the rear components to maximize overall efficiency.

The problem is that I designed it around the 4.2 so I'll have to modify it to fit the B5 and B5m once I get my hands on them.

Cab forwards are here to stay I believe.

Companies like Team Azarashi really take the time to keep with the trends while making the best looking bodies in the industry. No reason some others can't do the same.

FTW bodies tend to be less trendy also, I am sure they will come out ith something.

I can't take waiting for tower to get my b5 in!!!! but really, I can wait... I just ordered my silencer body as well so I should be able to have it painted before I get the kit.

The main problem with cab forward bodies is that they aren't even close to scale. How would a person sit in that cab and where would their legs go? I realize there's lots of out of scale parts on our little cars but cab forward should probably be illegal.

I'm glad I am not the only one who doesn't like cab forward bodies.

I too have bent Lunsford turnbuckles but have not bent any of my JC fin turnbuckles. I stick with what hasn't given me problems, if it does I just choose to not purchase them again. The JC Fin turnbuckles are great, IMO.

I dont mind whatever, I need a body to race.

i dont get why some people dont like the cab forward bodies. there are some put there that just appear out of proportion and odd, but the majority from the big companies look amazing. I find the old style bodies to be boring and have no defined shape. doeant matter, forward is here to stay which is awesome.
