Any idea if this might be an aftermarket Losi body???

Post by pUs »

Hi, I thought this might be the best place to ask this question. I can't figure out if the bodyshell on this old TRF Tamiya is something made for that particular car by Tamiya back in 1993, or if they simply used some kind of aftermarket body for the JRX Pro-SE.

Anybody recognize this one?

I'm trying to find something similair to my own 'TRF' dyna storm to fit the slimmer plastic chassis.

What about the Jammin' Pro SE-body then? Looks almost identical..

Cool looking Tamiya! Personally I don't think it looks like a Losi body (factory or aftermarket) I can see why similarities could be made - especially with the jammin shell - but the narrow cockpit area/front window just doesn't look like quite the same?
