Pro-Line P56-N On-Road Body
For all you on-road guys, Pro-Line introduces the P56-N (Nitro) body. It’s legal for just about every sanctioning body on earth, and comes in two weights, ‘Lite’ and ‘Pro-Lite’. Not sure exactly how they do that.. but we’ll take their word for it. Looks pretty sweet though. Check the Pro-Line website for more on-road rc body info.

ASK Cubby, A Weekly Q & A Session, Version 04.29.2010
“Cub Reporter, What is better a Traxxas Summit or a Traxxas E-Revo? Thanks. Roger Blakely” Oh yes, the age old question of what is better. Well both are Traxxas, meaning they’ll have good customer support, will be tough as nails, and most importantly, most hobby shops will stock plenty of replacement parts. The Summit is better suited to low speed action, [...]
