| Proline FJ40 body anyone?
I've just talked to proline and they said that they discontinued that body because no one was buying it. I informed them how the hobby was blowing up and that body seems to be really popular. They said if i could show them that there is desire for that body still that I could show them the website and they would possibly start making it again. So as a 1:1 fj owner I need that body! Please post if you would like to buy that body again if it was available. Thanks http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGCZ0&P=0 Last edited by Bluemeanie; 10-06-2005 at 08:29 AM.

Proline is well aware of this site and how scale rc crawling is taking off. Sounds to me like they just gave you a line. |

In bed yes.....secretary....no. Proline didn't discontinue the FJ body because the demand and sales were down.....and I know that no one at Proline would say that. Also, I know that no Proline rep. would say, "hey said if i could show them that there is desire for that body still that I could show them the website and they would possibly start making it again." That is the biggest bunch of BS I have ever heard. LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Liar? hmmmm.
I'm sure Dirk can tell you all about why the body was discontinued. I'm just telling you about the response that I got from proline regarding the body. If you would like me to post that then I will be happy to. Now to the fact of calling me a liar, why waste your time to type crap about people you dont know? I'm just interested in the jf body as are tons of people on here.

Harris, i was being sarcastic. if they ever repopped the Bruiser it'd be more like $7-800 with bushings and no ESC. might as well hold my breath for the Sand Scorcher.
