Didn't notice that before but I've seen it done on 1:! ultra4 buggys. The fenders really ruin it for me.

List of bodies that fit the Yeti

I don't like how they covered up most of the cage. I like the Yeti cage design. Should have only covered as much as the stock body does.
It's not a molded cage just the design of the body I believe..
The body's are listed on proline's site now
Pro-Line 3454-00 Ford F-150 Raptor SVT Clear Body
I agree I was tossing around the idea of cutting the roof/back off the raptor and having it only cover as much as the stock body does just to try something different.

Woulda been a lot better if they made it cover the tires .

I was looking forward to getting both but the jeep body is kind of fugly imo. I'll definitely be getting the raptor body and probably cutting some of the back out.

Pros: The ProLine bodies add 2 more options for bodies.
Cons: They both look a little weird, squished, etc.
I went ahead and ordered the Jeep. After quite a bit of time looking at 1:1s for ideas, and both ProLines, I just couldn't get past the thought of the Ford looking too much like an old stadium truck kit.
At least, IMO, with the right profile tires, the Jeep could possibly get a bit closer to scale-ish. Yeah, I know it's not an exact scale replica, blah, blah, blah, but it's nice to have it a bit more realistic looking than the stadiums do.

if it covers the wheels, it's illegal for u4rc competition unless a hooligan class, if you may, is created.....

Well I pulled the trigger on the raptor body.. and the flat iron xl's. The 20 pictures or so of both the bodies really sold me on the tires. :ror:

UPS notification shows order from Proline went out today. Looks like Monday for delivery. I guess I'll see what can be done with the Jeep.

i bought the baja and cut most of it away.
i have a pic of it painted if anyone is interested.
Interested.
I like that class 5 look too.
I got a yeti coming in the mail and I can't wait to put one of these bodies on it. I'm not a fan of the stock body, really. I got the flat irons coming though.

Good job proline.. molded in rear cage and fuel cell sticker on a vehicle that already has a nice looking scale fuel cell built in. this could have been done so much better. just looks cheap now that im looking at them closer. swing and a miss..
I'm by no means a Ford guy but I kinda like the Raptor body. I wish they didn't make their own cage/fuel cell into it but you could cut that off. I do not like the Jeep though. There are too many Jeep bodies out there in the scale rc world anyway, but that body doesn't really fit the Yeti IMO.

I'm not much or a Ford guy myself, but I too sort of dig the Raptor body. Even if it doesn't really look scale, I think I like it better than the Yeti shell. Need someone to pick one up and cut out the rear section to see how it looks and how well it holds up.
