It's a damn shame the bodies look so good, because ProLine bodies are what I call "price inverted." You're paying premium prices for some of the worst quality bodies on the market. Full disclosure, I haven't bought a ProLine body in over 10 years, after having Slash and Pede bodies rip or body posts punch through on the first battery pack. Don't get me started on the shocks or the tires. Because the minute I saw that Strike Force body I was like... man, I need that. Absolutely not gonna buy it though. My strict embargo against all things ProLine shows no signs of lifting any time soon. |

IMHO, that's one hell of an ugly body. I think it's mainly the bed section that's so awful, maybe with a scratchbuilt styrene rear half with a big machine gun in a cage with mount for a gunner it would be better. Yuck! I think you could take a clear Traxxas Tactical body and if you stuck with solid color military matte paints it would look better. And yes, I'm aware that military vehicles aren't meant to be stylish - ex-infantry marine from the '80s here. When I say better, I mean more bad-ass, aggressive, and purposeful. All them red-blooded 'merican thangs! The worst angle:  Last edited by durok; 06-17-2021 at 05:47 PM. |

Yeah, from that angle its 'butt ugly' lol. But the front half kinda reminds me of the rigs from f&f 7 or 8?

I feel sorry for those that decide to use all the "rivet" stickers, being that they have to be individually cut out by hand!

In zero defense of ProLine, you can't really blow mold the rear end of an M-ATV and have it look... reasonable.  I'm genuinely surprised PL doesn't have an "optional" parts kit to complete the rear, for the low, low cost of <way too damn expensive> |

That’s the worst possible body option and the last thing I’d expect them to release. Can’t believe they discontinue some awesome looking bodies and make this to take place of others. This might be a handful of peoples choice but definitely not a broad market Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Pro-Line has been missing with their paint jobs as well lately. It's like whoever was painting their bodies before is no longer there. Maybe they're competing with JConcepts for the most unappealing body or something. Or maybe it's the Horizon Hobby effect? |

The Horizon curse has begun. F**king hideous. It’s like they’re trying to suck. 🙄 |

I bet the Horizon effect can also be to blame for the crap paint jobs. Probably showed whoever was doing the work previously the door, or they left. I'm waiting for the Cliffhanger body to be back in stock, but it's likely the last Pro-Line body I buy. The prices are getting obscene and the quality is shite. | |

How do you like it? I notice there is plenty of dislike for JConcepts bodies, and I understand why, but no one else out there is really doing OBS Ford bodies like I wanted for my SMT10. | |
