Have you owned any Proline .060mm bodies? They're pretty darn durable, I beat my Pede's CJ8 for years and it only tore the rear fender in a bad high speed parking lot cartwheel. The Land Cruiser on my rock crawler Clod has seen some hard hits too, still fine. The body that's in my avatar however, was junk, shattered at the nose for some reason. I think it was old, or sat in the sun for a while, because my other Proline MP 7.5 Crowd Pleazer has taken a beating just fine.....the newer and pretty one is duct taped together.
