We need a chassis shot to see how it hugs the chassis!

I like the body though. Too bad I just sent my painter some more stock bodies. I will eventually have one of these on my car. Now we just need a ZX5 JC body!

Well it's getting tuff for us in the sense that many of the manufactures are starting to borrowing many of our styling cues

Also Most of our customers liked the stock body, but they all said it was missing something..."Illusionized"

I just hope it huges the chassis better. I'm tired of the dirt inside the buggy.

We tightened up the fit around the chassis quite a bit without loosing the illusionized look

Most of the guys around here actually remove the stock body mounts and are using velcro

Drill size for a 4-40 thread (should be what the B4 thumbscrews are) is a #43 drill (.089)

I run my stock body velcroed as well.

I ran the green groovy fronts this weekend and they were pretty consistant. I had tried pink prescrubs and they made the care super twitchy.

Body Looks good. When will it go on sale at Tower?
Is the rear wing identical to the stock one?

i just ordered directly. if the difference in material strength is about the same as with the wings (i'm using jconepts wings) it is a must buy.

Not sure when they will have them in stock, but I'm sure in the next few weeks.

Our RB5 body comes with 2 wings and they are both the new Illuzion one

It does look about the same but I think it read it will fit tighter. Either way I needed a body, so might as well go with the new hotness.

Interesting...looks like the new wing was designed with no wick in the rear (although I'm sure anyone could cut it with one if they wanted).

/currently using the JC 7" V-Wing on my RB5.

The wing is quite a bit different from what you are used to seeing, honest. The pictures do NOT do it justice at all, its pretty sweet.

Anybody else seen this?

Some of the text along with the description says RB5....... looks a bit different than the stock plate though

Could this the solution for flimsy motor plates?

If only I could read the text!
