I think the second on (non-ec) is the body that the church-mobile is sporting.
Wow,I bought the right rims to go with the EC body,by complete accident!

I wound up with a 2000EC body,the windows are kinda small...I masked one up stock size,and one up a little larger (I'll shorten the front of it,if I go with it)-what do you guys think I should go with?
I always thought the windows were kind of small on the CAT 2000, but i don't know wheather bigger windows would look any better. Hard to tell until it's all sprayed up to be honest

That looks stellar Brendan! Call me old fashioned but I prefer the original smaller window. Glad to see one with a body. I have one of those cars I bought here on 10talk but I haven't done anything with it yet. Needs lots of love...

I think I'll just stick with the small,stock window.
4WD buggy bodies are never pretty,huh?

I'll have to concur with Scampi...the Optima family, including Javelins & Turbos & Mids are better-looking than most 2WD's...but that's all subjective, of course.
The only representatives that don't do much for me are the Pro and Salute.

I don't know,how much nicer is a Turbo Mirage,a Losi Xcellerator, or a Viper body,than most 4WD buggy bods?
Most late-ish 2WD Kyosho buggies are better looking than Optimas!
The Mid SE is an exception,though
The Turbo Ultima,for example...
