Pro-Line BullDog for Hot Bodies D8T

Pro-Line BullDog for Hot Bodies D8T

Straight from the design studios at Pro-Line into the hands of Ryan Cavalieri, Richard Saxton, Billy Easton and Chris Jarosz at the 2009 Nitrocross World Championships, the BullDog body was an immediate success. In fact, the body worked so well that Ryan Cavalieri went on to put the fastest lap time down in the final, the fastest average lap thus giving him the 2009 Nitrocross World Championship title in truck. Made from Genuine GE .060 lexan, its bull nose front end increases corner speed, while the elongated bed increases air flow to the wing. Overall down force has been greatly improved over traditional 1:8 truck bodies with the engine head exposed for easy temp checks and igniter accessibility. Paint then peel overspray film, sticker sheet, and window masks included.

Beginning with the newly re-designed grill and headlight treatment, the Punisher stares you down like a trained fighter. The hood and cab treatment are amongst the lowest in class giving the Punisher top notch performance. The bed area represents the latest offering for 1/8th truck racing featuring a super low profile design for increased engine cooling, air flow and escape. For the 1/16th Slash, the Truth’s cab, bed and fenders are all areas of focus and in addition, one of the highlights of the styling cues includes extra fender clearance to minimize troublesome tire rubbing issues.

Nosram VTEC LiFe RX packs & CPX tires

Nosram VTEC LiFe RX packs & CPX tires

Nosram have introduced a number of new items including their new line up of VTEC LiFe receiver packs and their VTEC pre glued Carpet tires. The batteries are a combination of today’s most used battery types, the robustness and impact resistance of NiMh batteries combined with the capacity, long lifetime and weight advantage of a LiPo battery. They also impress with a higher number of charge cycles and higher cell safety compared to LiPos and the further advantage is that it can be used without an extra RX-regulator. The new VTEC CPX tires offer a newly developed high-traction tire specially for indoor carpet racing. The pre-glued tire features a special low-profile design, which prevents traction-roll on medium to high-grip tracks. With the new CPX pre-glued carpet tire, Nosram also offers a wheel for carpet touring car racing that guarantees 100% controlled racing. The answer to all tyre cheating possibilities are the semi-transparent rims, through which you see the inside of the rims, the result is no cheating.
