I like the direction Proline is going with this. Excited to see the final product.

Proline is also starting to lag behind in the Lexan bodies which is shocking. I don't want Knight Customs overpriced, 3D printed shit. I want molded hard plastic grilles like Vaterra. Hell, even Axial has jumped on board that ship and they are always on a slow moving tugboat. | |

Hell, even their tires come and go too fast to keep track. Even their super popular stuff like their Badlands stuff is gone. If you're looking for 2.2 stadium truck tires, forget about it. So many of their bodies get discontinued, which doesn't make much sense to me. At least have a custom-order option for your older stuff. It's not like the molds are wearing out from pulling lexan over them. | |

They may still have 1 or 2 styles of the original badlands in their catalog, but most of them are gone. The tall 2.2s are gone, and I think the 2.8s are gone. Maybe they still have the SCT size? If they offered those tall 2.2s in one of their super soft crawler tire compounds, those things would be great on a Yeti or Bomber. |

My buddy put a set of the tall 2.2s on his T3 because he runs it mostly in grass. That thing is a wheelie popping trip with those things. :-D

| Re: Wanna build it ??? Maybe an actual crawler??? I am guessing not. looks like it will be just lexan 2 piece body, cab/bed like power wagon. No knights customs, no dents etc..... Could be wrong though, its happened.

Yeah i am just speculating. Looking at the price of the 2 piece power wagon body and this, I wouldn't think they are willing to dig into their profits too much by adding any outside manufacturer accessories. The know it will be a hit though so they are advertising it with knights parts and I am sure designed it with that in mind. I agree on the 2 piece bodies, wish there were more. This will be cool though, I want to see size specs.

Yeah I waited and waited for that same 79 ford bed. It never happened so paid a Korean dude to 3d print me a whole body for about $300. You hear that proline? I spent way more than what you would have charged me, all because YOU DIDNT MAKE IT. I'm kinda ok with that though. I think what I got has better detail than proline could ever acheive with lexan. Anyway... When is this metric body supposed to get a full reveal? |

Issa out! https://www.prolineracing.com/bodies...clear-body.asp Price of the body isn’t bad but I’m sure it’d be easy to double or triple it with all these knights customs add ins Last edited by Topher Builds; 02-22-2019 at 06:48 PM. |

So for $60 you get a Honcho cab with an opening hood and a bed? Seriously? Is Proline giving up? Knight Customs parts should be unofficial accessories not official pieces to complete an unfinished body. Proline still refuses to mold hard plastic grilles, but they want you to overpay for a 3D printed grille. Why? |

| Re: Wanna build it ??? Maybe an actual crawler???
Couple things here... Yes I think I went the better route for my ford. But I'm going to wheel that thing like its a rolls royce phantom. In a cold sweat. But thanks. The Chevy body. Heh. Ironic that comes out after my son got an rc4wd blazer I hacked in half to essentially have this come out at half the price. The fact it's even the same color is like salt in the wound. But again, I think mine came out way cooler. As for this taco... Ehhhhhhh... I dont want to like it but I admit the pic above with the smaller tires is pretty... Pretty pretty good... Pretty good. I dont think I would build one. But i will enjoy vicariously. Makes me feel about the same as vanquish vs-410. I will probably never own one but that doesnt make it any less cool? ***OH MY GOD LOOK HOW NARROW THE DOORS ARE BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! No wonder all the official photos are at angles hahaha oh wow... The door Windows are practically triangles. Yeeeesh... Last edited by Shinchu; 02-22-2019 at 10:32 PM. |
