Cubby– Funny you should ask that question the same week that Brian posted his Pede 4×4 review. I trust you are loving your truck except for its overly lifted body. If it came murdered out in flat black paint you’d [...]

Here’s something cool from Pro-Line. A Volkswagen Bug body that actually has fenders on it. How novel. It actually casts a much different attitude than all the fenderless beetle bodies that populate the alternative-style short course landscape. This new vision of an old body is officially licensed by Volkswagen, so you can expect all the decals necessary to replicate the [...]
