The “II” shares many parts with the 3-shoe offering and it also uses the same adjustment tools, making the swap over to the 4-shoe offering a breeze.

Pro-Line Desert Eagle 1/10th bodyshell

Pro-Line Desert Eagle 1/10th bodyshell

Pro-Line have introduced the gnarly looking Desert Eagle bodyshell for the use with 1/10th scale short course trucks. Resembling a fire-breathing, road-crushing 1970’s muscle car the body offers details like a supercharged V8 rising out of the hood, zoomie side pipes and twin roof and deck spoilers. The body can be mounted in several ways, one of which is a desert grunge style, a post-apocalyptic war machine like Max Rockatansky’s Ford Falcon in the famous Mad Max movies. This setup is best used with 2.2″/3.0″ front and 2.8″ rear tyres. On the other hand the body allows to create a nice street rod style muscle car when using the appropriate 2.8″ tyres. More information about the additional parts needed to fit the body can be found here.
