Pro-Line B44 & B4 Vortex shells Categories - Team Associated, Pro Line, Bodies, Off Road, Products - comments closed
New from Pro-Line for both the Associated B44 and B4, is the Vortex. Designed to give your car the latest in off-road styling and function, the Vortex was born from today’s top electric racer and IFMAR Off-Road World Champion, Ryan Cavalieri. “We need a body that will better cool the brushless systems we are using and looks like it is ready to compete,” says Ryan Cavalieri. So Ryan, along with Pro-Line’s body moulding expert, set out to create something that would improve the overall performance of the car’s electronics as well as the car’s performance on the track. With some unique cooling features, the Vortex received it’s name, which means ‘a whirling mass of air, especially one in the form of a visible column or spiral, as a tornado’. This is exactly what is created with such ventilation as the Vortex. Both bodies are made with Genuine GE .030 lexan and supplied with 2 medium down force wings, window mask, and Paint-then-peel overspray film.
