Pro-Line have released more 2012 versions of their popular BullDog line of cab forward off-road bodies. Available soon are variants for Team Associated’s RC8.2e, Kyosho MP9 and Team Associated RC8T. The new design incorporated a steeper windshield 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 stable air flow over the body. The fins also add rigidity to the body to increase aerodynamic efficiency.
