Great truck for me. I loved the quality of of this thing. With the right setup it's a blast to drive and set up. I will agree that the esc placement is bad. And I replaced the wheel hubs because the wheel will rud and melt the at the wheel on the inside. Especially if you run a 1/8 set up. All and all I would recommend this truck all day long.
This kit is knowingly being sold with defects. I just purchased this kit and found the steering to be completely locked up. I called proline and before I could even explain what was going on proline said " we know what's wrong, it's the hub carriers the pivot balls, and some hardware, fill out a slip and we will send you parts. I asked if he knew what was wrong, he said yes I am sure they all need this. In order to use this roller you will have to fill out a claim with proline and wait for parts and hopefully you know how to install them.
I had the proline MT 2wd had all the upgrades for it the carbon fiber tower braces, carbon fiber steering thing, aluminum hubs on the rear think one other upgrade maybe the aluminum steering rack ya!! All that said truck was a beast!! I sold it cuz I wanted the 4x4 version!! Now I do enjoy this 4x4 but me & my boy's have breakages!! First on the first outing they broke the steering servo saver, which took forever too get replacement(2 months new kit) I assume as it was happening too alot of people!! Now there is upgrade aluminum tho but it's 20$ and wasn't released until after I got another plastic servo saver horn!!. Next we always loose the clips that hold in the bearing on the rear center drive line!! There is mod for this tho just too run a aluminum rail from the front too rear of chassis which prevents chassis flex!! Next you must add aluminum AE wideners to prevent hubs from melting although this is a upgrade too add lots of stability!! Last thing is we seem too bend the front and rear hing pin holders!! which can be straightend out which i do or you can by extra which over time will need too because I wouldn't recommended restrighting them over a couple times!! When they bend we also eject the plastic hing pin holders that set inside the holders. I fit Tekno holders back inside you have too shave them down but can mod them too fit as the proline kit doesn't not ship roller with any extra hing pin holders which is kinda messed up as people like too have different setup options!! ALL & ALL i should kept my 2WD!! that being said we still enjoy this little truck it's a blast!! Just make sure your the type person that knows how too mod stuff and dedicate time and $$ for upgrades!! One last thing is the truck needs diff's too be filled is they only come with grease!! Run 2000k weight rear and front 8000k works really well like that!! Center diff did have fluid like 5k i think!! Keep an eye on the bushing on the upper front a arms when serving front diff as they are tiny and easily lost!! Good Truck but proline 2wd was better IMO!!
Has a few flaws but all in all a good tough rig and very fun to bash with.
THIS IS A VERY GOOD SOLID TRUCK AND VERY INNOVATIVE.QUALITY WISE ONE OF THE BEST MADE 1/10 MONSTER TRUCKS ON THE MARKET.THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THIS TRUCK IS THE STEERING ON HOW TO SET UP YOUR STEERING SERVO.ITS A PAIN ON HOW PROLINE PLACED IT.i WISHED PRO-LINE WOULD HAVE COME UP WITH A BETTER WAY TO PLACE THE STEERING SERVO AND HOW THEY SET UP THE STEERING.I NEVER HADE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH SETTING UP THE STEERING AS ON THIS RC ALL THE ELECTRONICS ARE VERY TIGHT AND RE A PAINE TO INSTALL AND SET UP RIGHT.MAINLY THE STEERING.OTHER THAN THAT I REALLY LIKE THIS TRUCK A LOT.
AMain Hobby is a great place. Awesome selection of parts. Fast shipping too. I received my Pro MT 4x4 today. Thing looks awesome and doesn’t look like junk. Seems really durable and certainly has a lot of quality put into it. I have a bunch of proline products on my other R/C’s. Which is why I bought this truck. Happy with my purchase and love AMain. Have to stop writing now so I can install the motor and giet this thing rip’n. Thanks AMain for carrying a quality product at a great discounted price.

Well build truck. Tough durable high quality. Go with 1/8 scale electronics and this thing will rip. Go over everything before u drive it. Tighten and loctite screws. Check bearings and diffs shocks oil levels etc and then hit it hard.
Brand new out the box after installing all my electronics my 25kg won't turn the steering rack. The pivot ball screw was so tight it burnt out my servo and pivot ball screw stripped out when I tried loosing it. Though this really sucks.. Proline made things right with me today.. And is sending nesarry parts to fix it.. Wish I could give this truck 5 stars..
what ever receiver you install it has to be water proof or stay away from water!!! there is no protection or box for the receiver. i installed the 1/8 scale mambaX and the 2650kv on 3s and the badlands ballooned up. on 4s its a wheelie king i have the most fun on 3s this is a great platform for a custom build.
I bought this for my partner as a birthday present and he was thrilled to receive it! I have also had the pleasure of speaking to staff at your store and everyone is not only absolute experts, but also provide truly professional, respectful, empathic, personable customer support- many thx to everyone at amain- you set the bar for customer service- I could not be more satisfied!
BEST RC in the market.
this is my second PROMT and i love it.
highly recommend to use with 1/8 system, and even with 3s it's fly fast and fun is guarantee.
as far as durability, outstanding!!!
I have not completed the building of the Proline MT but, as far as it comes out of the box, it looks very nice, very solid. Unfortunately, it came with the wrong inserts on the wheels, but Proline took care of me in like 24 hours. Otherwise, as with any other RTR, or roller, it is recommended to go trough the car, inspecting diffs, shocks, the steering (mine is binding), but the quality, again, looks amazing for the price. It's not perfect, but it is a lot of car for the buck. Thumbs up for Proline and, as usual, for A Main.
You can’t blame a roller for problems with electronics. It’s a quality product. Though as nails!
This thing has burned up 3 esc,traxxas vxl-3s,castle sw4,castle mamba x all with in 10 min
I do not recommend wasting your money on this crap
