Yeah have to agree... doubt Proline will care. Nature of the beast with our trucks. Those things are brittle. Worse than stock Arrma shells in my experience. Only surviving Proline shell I have is on my MT410. Painted it, then meshed and shoe gooed it before ever running it. Whole process is time consuming but the shell does live on.
It’s a rough hobby and things get smashed at high speeds. Stuff is going to break- often. Just how it is.
This is why you drywall tape/shoe goo corners and weak points on bodies Also not fond of Proline bodies. Yeah they look nice, but the lexan they use is actually "too" thick" IMO and cracks easily instead of flexing.
Here's a stock rustler body and a jconcepts body for the same vehicle after reinforcing with the drywall/goo method. You can see the Jconcepts needed not even half as much

Do you have a brand suggestion for bodies?
I like jconcepts. The two I have from them are tough as nails.People sayong don't run proline bodies cause they crack.. who else makes a good selection of bodies that are recomended. The body i just finished cracked on the lower corners, mostly my fault though.
I'd been on the fence about getting a j concepts or proline for my K6. Seems like a lot more people have better experiences with J Concepts, including yourself.I like jconcepts. The two I have from them are tough as nails.
I have the Jconcepts 82 GMC MERV body for my LC Racing truggy it took a long long time before it started to crack, every Proline body I have ever bought cracked on the first run.I like jconcepts. The two I have from them are tough as nails.
It’s kind of strange. The proline plastic feels thicker and heavier, the Jconcepts is super thin and glossy yet so flexible and strong. It buckles instead of breaks.I have the Jconcepts 82 GMC MERV body for my LC Racing truggy it took a long long time before it started to crack, every Proline body I have ever bought cracked on the first run.
Yeah they seem to be more oriented towards the racers, crawlers and scale monster trucks.Wish jconcepts had more bodies i liked if they are so much better.
