Pro-Line 2012 BullDog body for TLR 8ight

This is the 2012 BullDog body for the TLR 8ight 2.0 buggy. Pro-Line’s newest Factory Team driver Adam Drake is the man when it comes to racing and developing TLR 1/8th scale racing vehicles. It is more important than ever for Pro-Line to deliver the highest performing products for the TLR line of vehicles. They have achieved that with the highest performing body yet. The design incorporates the new BullDog styling for 2012 that creates even more stability with enhanced steering to gain an advantage on the track. The windshield is steeper 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.

Pro-Line BullDog body for CML Centro C4.1

Following the early sneak peek at the body, Pro-Line have officially released the BullDog body for the CML Centro C4.1 buggy conversion. Pro-Line understands how bodies affect performance, and with the C4.1 already dominating the Euro style Astro-turf, grass and indoor carpet tracks, Pro-Line has taken performance to an even higher level with this body. This specially designed body wraps perfectly around the extremely narrow and sleek chassis featured on the C4.1 and completely clears the mid-motor transmission in the rear. Great care was taken in refining the BullDog design for 2012 to create even more stability with enhanced steering to gain an advantage on the track. The windshield is steeper 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 roof has been lowered in the rear 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.
