Pro-Line introduce the Enforcer bodyshell for 1/8th nitro truggies. From the mind of Ty Tessmann and inspired from the Type-R buggy body, the Enforcer has a meaner and more angular front end look with swooping roof and bed sections for improved airflow and high-speed stability. The hood of the body is steeper to create more down force over the front wheels for more steering and faster lap times. The body is available in three different variants for the HB D8T Tessmann Edition, the Mugen MBX-7T and the TLR 8ight-T 3.0 and it comes clear, including window masks and decal sheets.
