Which body do I have?

Post by JimClark »

Trying to determine which body I actually have so I can look for a new one. Could someone help identify it?

I’m calling it a Protech II. It’s similar to the protech but I don’t see the indents for the front tower on yours, but I do see the teardrops where the nose tube screws are.

If you've been browsing this forum or ebay, you probably already know that Penguin on ebay makes Protech II bodies.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Associated-Protech-2-Rc10-Classic-Body-And-Worlds-Style-Wing-Lexan-Graphite/174151063011?hash=item288c3655e3:g:XhMAAOSwv9peF66H

I recently bought a couple of them and although quality isn't as good as genuine AE (they're certainly not perfect), they're not too bad.

I guess that depends. Of the two bodies I'm familiar with, Penguin's are dimpled and TBG's are short.

This is a Penguin shell...

The dimples aren't really noticeable once painted although you can see them if you look closely. I think they are pretty ok.
