Now I got to shell out (excuse the pun) £30 quid for new body, probably go for JConcepts Manta

OMG! I use same batts and never done that to my slash 4x4 - and I bash hard - this is about as bad as I've done a shell:

Proline Desert Rat (very strong but cracked along sharp edges)

From this:



To this:



And the Proline Flo-Tek (which I very strongly recommend - higher wheel arches, beautiful design, smooth corners, easy to spray, surprisingly strong for a Proline SCT shell)

From this:



Survived an attack by three dogs and a great go at the track at the weekend and still no cracks:



The manta is probably the strongest shell I've had but did develop the dreaded rear wing pod cracks after the first bash - but is still holding up strong - wheels rub a lot on the slash (and others, ive read) though due to low wings

My favourite is the Proline Flo Tek to date
