Proline Bulldog Love or Hate?

Post by CAT3K »

I bought one of these shells for my B4 as i needed a new one for the new season (My old standard B4 shell was metalic blue and hard to see in the grass at distance..)

The reaction of people to the cab forward design has been extreme. Some love the looks, other hate them and go as far as saying they are the ugliest things they've ever seen :lol:

What do you think? Love or Hate?

Yeah, I'm not a fan. I wish someone would make a modern Viper or ProTech for the B4.

Not keen on them for the 2wd's looks wierd, but they seem much better on 4wd cars, I recently picked up a B44.1 set for my B44 which I reminds me I need to get painted up

2wd - Violent Vomiting fit
4wd - Throw up a little bit in my mouth
1/8th - just mild nausea!

I just cant get the "love" for them......maybe I am getting uncool now that I have reached 40!

Cheers

Ugly-as-sin. It looks like a pollywog.

It looks like the F117 Stealth fighter. I don't mind it. Flat black would be great but hard to keep paint on and your visibility thing goes out the window.

:lol: Not too many lover then eh?

I probably wouldn't have like it if it was on one of my vintage cars, but this is a race car. Main reason for buying it though was because there's loads of height in those side pods, the speed passion esc i use is bloody huge and doesn't fit under standard shells :oops:

I don't mind it all that much. But then again I really don't like the older B4 bodies either. I'm not a losi fan but I like the XXXcr body much more than the B4. Even though I like almost all JConcepts products, I really don't like their latest B4.1 and B44.1 (BTW I hate the .1 concept) Just make a B5 already. You still have to add a ton of weight to the B4.1 to make it handle right, just like the B4. I do hope that the newer buggy body design changes for the better soon.

I don't hate it but I don't like it either.
