Pro-Line RC8T3 Enforcer bodyshell

Coming from Pro-Line is the Enforcer bodyshell for the Team Associated RC8T3 1/8th truggy. The body is a standard standard item in the AE kit and originally comes from the mind of Ty Tessmann to offer 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 truck is steeper to create more down force over the front wheels for more steering and faster lap times. As usual the body comes clear, including window masks and decal sheet.
