SirusDviruS Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) I'm considering buying a clear KM shell from RCModelz as it's a tenner cheaper then HPI/proline. If they are brittle rubbish though obviously I will stump up for a better one. Please advise with your experiences. Also what's more hardy? HPI or proline?

SirusDviruS Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 I'm glad you said that too! Was going to buy (brand TBC) body shell and a Proline under tray :/ they ain't cheap either! Would love to hear others opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Pay the extra for the HPI one .... the KM ones are brittle. Not so much of an issue on a 5B.... as the shell is quite protected ... but they are crack prone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 That poor hamster makes me wonder every time I see it. Is it real or photo shopped. Whichever shell you buy mate a good layer of skrimp tape and shoo goo will do wonders. It's a shame ther isn't more choice by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(-:AD:-) Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Km ones are cr4p. A fellow basher had one... 1 roll and it was in pieces. I have had a proline desert rat for 2 years... in a sorry state but its still a body shell. Ive got a new proline shell cut and I just need to paint it.

Bigjimknickers Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Km ones are poor, mines cracked after 5 outings & there very thin, I'll buy a genuine hpi one next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
