Hot Bodies TCX electric touring car

Hot Bodies TCX electric touring car

Having previously shown you the first images of this new car, Hot Bodies have released full details on their all new TCX electric touring car kit. The new narrow bulkhead design coupled with an elongated upper camber link centralizes the weight allowing the chassis to flex and improve handling.  Chassis weight distribution is 50/50 keeping racers from having to add weights to balance the car. Less weight equals greater acceleration and reduces breaking distance. The end result is a car that carries maximum corner speed.

Pro-Line D8 & RC8 Bulldog shells

Team drivers Ryan Cavalieri, Travis Amezcua and Ty Tessmann put their heads together with the Pro-Line development team with a mission to apply the radical cab-forward BullDog body design to a buggy. All three drivers used the body to achieve impressive results, winning the 1:8 Pro Buggy Class at the Silver State Nitro Challenge the first time the body hit the track. Featuring an advanced forward cab design, it generates unmatched off-power steering, while the exposed cylinder head stabilizes engine temps and the flattened rear deck feeds the wing with clean air flow. Made from durable / genuine .040 Lexan, the shell is currently available for the Hot Bodies D8 and Associated RC8.
