Pro-Line F-150 Raptor for Rustler & Axis SC bodies

More new bodies from Pro-Line with the introduction of the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor for the Traxxas Rustler and the Axis SC body. The F-150 truck body is a detailed and functional replica which includes all the rugged Raptor style and attitude that you want and expect while being a direct fit onto the stock cage and body mounting system. This body completely transforms your Rustler 4×4 and allows you to add a custom paint job to your truck. The body comes pre-cut from the Pro-Line factory, so you just need to add paint along with the stock internal cage/body mounting system.

Pro-Line Axis body shells for MBX8, 8ight-X & RC8B3.2

As teased earlier in the week, Pro-Line have today released full details on the new Axis bodies for Mugen MBX8, TLR 8ight-X and Associated RC8B3.2. Designed with the latest in CAD technology, the Axis features a super low-slung design with sharp lines throughout giving it an unmistakable look on the track. The Axis is a cab-forward design that provides enhanced steering response while the small side fins balance out the rear of the car with ideal side-bite. The rear of the Axis body has the right amount of clearance for the nitro engine and fits the chassis and bulkhead shape of your race buggy perfectly. To run the Axis body on the EP version of the Mugen or Associated, the battery must be no taller than 39mm due to the low-slung nature of the Axis side pods.
