East Coast ProDrive Tamiya 801 option parts

These new Tamiya 801 hop-ups from East Coast Bodies sub brand ProDrive were designed in conjunction with factory driver Victor Wilck for light weight, maximum durability and great looks. The hard blue anodized alloy steering posts save weight but still provide strong precise steering response, while the alloy center drive cups, axles and Titanium inner diff gear shafts all reduce critical rotating mass for quick acceleration and maximum punch. Also new from East Coast Bodies is the pre-painted Viktor Wilck replica of their new 801 body shell that we featured previously in half painted form.

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.
