RE: Official Losi 26cc 5IVE-T Thread
I disagree that it will save money by having panel body parts.
Realistically, when I want to change the shell I don't want to fool with more pins. The panels them selves will most likely be more for the whole set than a one piece design would be in comparison.
If you buy individual parts its common since to up the price tag a bit on each.
It only insures that you will be buying new panels and then figuring out how the new piece has made the rest of the body look ghetto all of a sudden. Not to mention I will be highly surprised if the shell will last as long as a one piece would, do to loss of dexterity and rigidness found in a single piece mold.
Sounds more like a marketing ploy than an aesthetic performance necessity.
