Hey guys I'v run both and like the bulldog the most seems pretty strong to me ! And fits a lot better to the chassis on the 6t , the JC body needs to be held on with velcro and that don't work for long and it looks way better to me ( the bull dog )
I think It has a lot to do with the guy who paints it as when they do all that fancy marsking and paint job if its cut a bit to deep It will crack open a lot easier !! I paint my own bodys and keep it simple ( kinder like me lol)

Proline for sure.
The JC's are a little thin and tend to stress crack.
The PL's are a little thicker and heavier, but thats ok for 8th scale.

fist make sure cuts to paint mask are not too deep, #1 cause for cracked bodies. once the body is painted, let it dry 1 day. i use drywall mesh tape around bed, body post holes and sharp corners around windows or head. just cut it to shape, its tacky so you can stick it on like a decal, but then i dab drops of ca in it to keep it stuck to the body for sure while i shoo goo it down. then i take the shoo goo and with a plastic spoon just peanut butter it over the mesh tape. i have the 2 bodies for my rc8t from last year still hanging in the garage, the stock body i never ran cause the pl was in such good shape. let all that dry 1 more day and you should have a very well protected body for a long time. i'm not a fan of the thin shoo goo film through out the whole body, tends to make it a bit heavier. if you just reinforce the weak spots thats all you need. also foam pads around the body posts helps a lot too.

Right when you see a crack start to form, use a reamer to make a small hole at the crack tip. This will stablize the crack and keep it from propagating.
This will help get you a little more life out of your body.
