i won this chopped body dirt cheap for a runner , i thought it was a protech but when it arrived i saw it definitely is not a protech. Any idea what this is? it has little fins and kinda sorta embossed lines in the side and top.

i would agree, but look closer at the first pic, it has 'fins' on the sidepods.

idk what it is, but i like it.

By the looks of the nose and the cockpit, the back could easily be stock looking. It looks like someone made a mold of the protech and added a couple strips to the sides for the fin effect. That is my 2 cents.

I received the same body with a CAT, I'm pretty sure someone else here posted it not so long ago with the same question and it was answered it was an Optima shell... can't find the post back unfortunately...
