Proline Recon

[CharliesTheMan]

Proline has released a new body that's going to be a sweet body for scaler projects, similar to the unimog project rigs.

That thing looks badass.

I've been working on building a body for the Savage that's based on this Oshkosh truck, that would go the full width of the tires.

That's sweet. I just bought a chassis that's designed to build a 6x6 crawler with, and I'm planning to do a similar body for a scale build.

Actually, there are 6 of those with tanks full of jetfuel at my office right now for all of the helicoptors to refuel in baton rouge for the hurricane efforts. They are sweet as hell. both sets of front wheels turn. If you need some pix of it, i can take em tommorrow.

I think it's beautiful. It doesn't get any 'Badder' than that.
Having a full width military body takes away the Monster truck look and just looks plain BBBbbbbaaaaaad.

ABSOLUTELY! I could use the pics for the details. Even the cab interior if you could.
I sure would appreciate it.

I got the guys some subway, so they wouldnt have to eat more MRE's, so they owe me a favor. lol Ill c what i can get.

 

[alpinehyperlite]

Damn. I drove by the field at 5:30 this morning. All 6 were there. Drove by 10 min ago, in aylight. all gone. sorry rolex.

That's a pretty cool body. I with it came in an LST size too. 19x7 or so. I think I'll email Proline.

 

[CharliesTheMan]

They took away my tools, so I can't delete this. Lessen, you were the first one I thought about when I saw this body because of the conversation we had in discussing your body in detail (ha, pun intended) and what I thought you should do with your body.

 

[Lessen]

Yeah, I really wish it was longer and a bit wider or I would possibly consider that instead of the dump. but I don't know, I have big plans for that dump body on my Maxx. I'll PM you.

 

[NCNitro]

Am I the only one that thinks that is one butt ugly body?

 

[CharliesTheMan]

I think it's something that you've definitely got to like the look of or hate it. I wouldn't run it on a crawler or a monster truck, but I think it would build a slick off road/military scaler with 6 or 8 axles under it.

 

[Lessen]

I would put it on an MT actually. It's different. for some reason it reminds me of that flying John Deer walk behind... that's hilarious..

 

[NCNitro]

Personally, I wouldn't waste the paint on it.

 

[CharliesTheMan]

Do you like the Unimog body scale rigs?

 

[Rolex]

The colors on the ProLine are wrong and it's also gloss. That just MAKES it ugly. Done up in proper flat OD or desert tan military dress with all the markings, would do it good.
The biggest problem I see is rolling over and doing a 'shiny side slide'. Whatever you hit will punch in the upright windshield and rip out the body mounts.

 

[Lessen]

I totally agree with Rolex. The paintjob will make or break that body's appeal

I don't care what you do to it.

When you spray perfume on a turd...it's still a turd.
