  • In this video I will show you how we broke our Proline Brute Bash Armor body and why buying one may not be a good idea. I will review the Brute Bash Armor body and tell you my thoughts on why I will not buy another one. In these times of unbreakable body craze and thicker RC bodies maybe we are causing other breaking points...cause I broke it. Should you buy a Proline Brute Bash Armor body? You decide.

    Thank you for your video and comments, what you say makes a lot of sense. I have just bought my first RC car (Xmaxx) and was looking at the Proline Brute Bash body BUT will not now be getting it as I said your points are so right. Thanks for your honesty and trouble in putting your video together.

    U should try velcro the shell to the sides. I do it on my kraton although it's just the stock shell. Not sure how well it would work with the bash armour.

    Thanks for reviewing a product you actual used first! I was wondering the same thing about those bodies being too stiff. For $100 I'll save and get a few cheapies instead. :)

    I've gotta admit I got an unbreakable one from Russia for my outcast / notorious and it's really taking a beating with no issues at all. Don't know what to think of the proline one's after watching your vid. Not confidence boosting 🤣 keep it up buddy good info! Was quite a gnarly landing! 😂😂

    • @FatherandSonHavingFun
      @FatherandSonHavingFun  Před 5 lety +1

      I've held both in my hand side by side and the Brute Bash Armor is probably about 3 times thicker. While the Russian body does flex some the Proline is very rigid.

      @@FatherandSonHavingFun Well today I ended up with the same cracks that you have on the rear of the body after a few bad landings today. I'll go to the LHS and see what he says (that's where I bought it). I should have put some foam and gorilla tape in that area before it happened. I know that I gorilla taped the inside of my xmaxx 8s new body and I still don't have cracks after two runs (I had some cracks when I didn't do that with the original body). Bummer. I should have just bought a stock $50 body. Damn.

      Yeah, it sucks because they charge so much for these bodies and I've had better luck with gorilla tape and lexan body. The VW body has been amazing for a $25 body and gorilla tape.

    Proline tires are even worse.. they literally spent money on a special formulation to make the tires wear faster..

    • @clabszero
      @clabszero Před 4 lety +2

      Stop telling stories, Proline tires last quite a long time when you run them on the proper terrain. Most people, however, don't realize that offroad tires were made for offroad terrain and run them in parking lots and on the pavement. Then they cry when they wear down the tread. If you run on pavement get street tires, you run offroad get offroad tires... geezzz is the logic really that hard to follow here.

    Are you stupid armma is owned by horizon hobby's and they work with proline because they are also a part of horizon hobby's it's all tied to horizon hobbys now and is made by the same people and the new proline body is unbreakable not meaning it doesn't crack it me it doesn't snap if it gets lifted to high on the sides as a personal owner of an arrma myself I don't get why people think stuff won't break it will and you just have to fix it but honestly no hard feeling

    • @FatherandSonHavingFun
      @FatherandSonHavingFun  Před 5 lety +4

      Are you stupid? Great way to start a comment... First of all Proline works with all RC companies if it is profitable, so the fact that Horizon Hobby owns Arrma is irrelevant. Also if you watch the video I said it wasn't a big deal that it ripped the body as much as it transferred the force to other components causing them to break. Have a great day....😎😎😎
