Penguin Custom CAT PB Raptor body

British custom bodyshell producer Penguin Custom Bodyshells has introduced the Raptor body for the CAT PB 1:10 4WD Buggy from Schumacher.  Part of the Slayer Series of bodyshells, which enable a great way of fine tuning the balance of the car.  The very low CGI designed shell has been slammed low, with a wide stable unfussy cab at 40 degrees.  The sleek unhindered design, copies the popular cab from the L1R Slayer, which gives more front end due to the larger surface area of the window.  Underneath it has plenty of room for an extra fan and has aero intakes to deliver air to motor and ESC.  Formed from high grade Lexan, the Raptor is available in both standard weight (0.75mm) and lightweight (0.5mm) and comes complete with window masks, overspray film and accurate trim lines.  Painted body images show it with the Penguin Gentoo wing which not included with the body.
