I have been looking for a shell for my B4 because my other one has cracked and while looking online I found these two

PRO-LINE B4 INTERCEPTOR BODY £14.99
RC10 B4 INTERCEPTOR BODY £17.99

the only differences I can see is one make is proline and the other is associated and the price is there any differences apart from that like strenth or stickers etc

I think the Proline one comes with 2 rear wings and the RC10 one only has 1, other than that i don't think there is any other differance

just my 2 pence.... from a painting perspectivethe pro line shell (not sure if it's the interceptor, or another one) doesn't havethe cooling vents in the side, and makes the shell MUCH easier to mask, and paint... it also comes with funky looking wings, although i've heard these are less than tough.

The B4 shell is made by Proline for Associated. The std shell that Proline make is the interceptor, and this is the one that comes in the B4 kit, and AE sell as their shell. Proline also make a couple of different ones.

However as you have noticed both of the shells that you have seen are the "Intercepter", as i've said above they are both made by Proline.........and as someone else has pointed out the proline packed one comes with 2 wings. I'll let you decide which one to buy. I know which one i bought when i wanted a new one ;) :rolleyes:

The interceptor is the standard shell and it has the vents in, but Proline do a crowd pleazer shell too (as used by Billy Easton at the worlds)
The crowd pleazer has much smoother lines on and no vents it also has a rear wing with spill plates molded in them but as Gingapaint says they are very very thin and as you go down the streights you can see the endplates flapping abit

I think I will go for the PRO-LINE B4 INTERCEPTOR BODY because the wing of my original B4 shell is fine only a big crack in the shell and I have found the proline one even cheaper now :D
