Ugliest production RC body of all time? Discuss.
Several come to mind for me but I don't think anyone can beat this. This is just what people want. A combination of a Mini and a 1980s Dodge minivan. People use RC to escape from reality, not be reminded of it. It might be the little rc car that 'could', but one look at that body has me saying 'can't'.
Perhaps this is low brow, but if I imagined what a fart would look like as an RC car body, this would probably be it.
CEN ME/MG-16RY? That is my least favorite. God bless Cen Racing, they haven't had the best bodies over the years.

Also, the Duratrax Firehammer buggy body... This body puts the 'special' in special edition if you know what I mean. No proportions, nothing scale about it. It looks like a sick dolphin. One look at this pseudo-sick dolphin swimming around the track will have you reaching for the chum bucket to spew in.

Gee Dale....I saw your first post and thought I ought to find a picture of the Firehammer for my choice of worst body design.....then I scrolled down.
Actually, the little MG-16RY is kind of cute...like those 1960s Subaru's, but it's not my style at all.

I think that every time I see the first one. The flames on the side look like corn.

Was blind, but now I see
The top flame on the side looks like a cob of corn:
At first I thought you meant the whole thing looked like a Candy Corn:
and the owner looks like this:

It would probably look decent with a different paint job, and on a different chassis.
Kinda like with the CEN in the 1st post. If they had shorter arms, on-road tires (so the tires were under the shell), and a paint job that didn't look utterly stupid it would probably look good.
Now the Firehammer is screwed... body would look horrendous no matter how it was painted.
I never unsderstood why so many manufacturers love to use flames on their bodies. Don't think I've seen a RTR yet with flames on the shell that I found looked good.

The one Lars posted gets my vote.
That or the FG Hummer body... not that it's FG's fault, the Hummer itself is just so ugly.
