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.
