Pro Body
This is my new Pro Body purchased from Brandon G.
Is it just me or is it really difficult to slide the front of the Pro body in-between the front shock tower without scratching everything all up? It makes me always want to cut more out of the body.

Re: Pro Body
Dont be affraid to cut extra away,if you dont it will crack easier than if you try and keep a tight fit.

Re: Pro Body
Thanks for the positive comments.
I guess you just need to cut enough away to make the body install a somewhat smooth operation and so it does not crack as Vintage racer has suggested.

Re: Pro Body
seriously though, nice paint!
I usually set the shock collars so the screws are outboard to make more room for fitting the nose of the body.

Re: Pro Body
Lovely looking Pro you have there - these are my favourite of all the vintage Losi'
Brandon's Pro shell looks 1st class & nice paint scheme! I presume my JRXPro still has the original shell & yes they are a B*tch to remove/place the shell around the front shock mounts..... sometimes with a squeeze & a twist is comes off easy.... & other times you really struggle with it

Re: Pro Body
Thanks for all the reply's.
The most difficult part of creating this body was creating my own paint masks. I actually used the front window mask of a XXX4 and cut the height down some. For the sides I used nothing more than masking tape (time consuming).
I agree with you DerbyDan, the Pro also is my favorite of all vintage Losi's.
Brandon indeed do a great job with these body's. I am impressed with the quality for sure. I may have to make another purchase if has any more available.
