East Coast Bodies DEX410 shell

East Coast Bodies have released their latest shell, this time for the Durango DEX410, which they claim is an improvement in design over the original. The addition of the supplied front wing helps keep the front end on the ground when under power, while at the rear of the re-profiled main cockpit a kick up in front of the wing improves the jumping by making it more controllable in the air. The rear wing has also had some work with the bottom side featuring 3 new channels for air flow which again helps the car in high speed jumps.

Pro-Line RC8T Bulldog & SC Tire combos

We already brought you the new Bulldog from Pro-Line for the HB D8T. The Associated RC8T version is also on the way and the body looks to already be bullying the competition with Ryan Cavalieri dominating the Nitrocross World Championships with it recently. Pro-Line also now offers closed cell foam inserts for those tracks that desire a firmer insert set-up. Available in V2, V3 and VTR versions, channel details capture the tire so carcass flex is kept to a minimum and there are now no air gaps in between tires, unlike other brands. For racing your short course truck PL offer their Caliber and Bow-Tie patterns pre mounted on split six black one-piece wheels. Or if you wish to turn your SC into a sand slinging super truck you can try these new Sling Shot SC tires. With 10 monster grabbing 1/4″ tall paddles sand and snow are easily overcome. The Mohawk SC is the perfect compliment for the front of the car. A large center rib and smaller outer rib give your Short Course truck immediate steering. Both are available unmounted or pre mounted on either split six black one-piece wheels or split six red/black bead-loc wheels.

Pro-Line BullDog for Hot Bodies D8T

Straight from the design studios at Pro-Line into the hands of Ryan Cavalieri, Richard Saxton, Billy Easton and Chris Jarosz at the 2009 Nitrocross World Championships, the BullDog body was an immediate success. In fact, the body worked so well that Ryan Cavalieri went on to put the fastest lap time down in the final, the fastest average lap thus giving him the 2009 Nitrocross World Championship title in truck. Made from Genuine GE .060 lexan, its bull nose front end increases corner speed, while the elongated bed increases air flow to the wing. Overall down force has been greatly improved over traditional 1:8 truck bodies with the engine head exposed for easy temp checks and igniter accessibility. Paint then peel overspray film, sticker sheet, and window masks included.
