Also for 1/8th buggy is the Tazer and Blockade are now available pre mounted on V2 white wheels with the Tazer available in M3 and M4, while the Blockade only comes in M4. For 1/10th scale buggy there is the return of the Square Fuzzie. The new Square Fuzzie features countless square micro-pins laid out in a traction inducing grid pattern that will stick to the track like Velcro while the long center bars provide tons of forward bite and improved wear over the Original.

The new Square Fuzzies will give you the confidence inspiring forward and side bite to propel you to the front.

Pro-Line 2012 Bulldog for RC8.2

New from Pro-Line for the Associated RC8.2 is the 2012 Bulldog. Ryan Cavalieri is preparing for the IFMAR World Championships in 2012 and has developed the most advanced body yet. He took great care in refining the design for 2012 to create even more stability with enhanced steering to gain an advantage on the track. The windshield is steeper to create more down force over the front wheels and the roof ridges have been raised to channel the air flow over the middle of the body for increased high-speed stability. The rear of the roof has been lowered and fins have been added to achieve maximum engine head cooling and stable air flow over the body. The fins also add rigidity to the body to increase aerodynamic efficiency.
