Now, Pro-Line is proud to introduce the all new and improved Square Fuzzie as a worthy successor to the Original. The new Square Fuzzie features countless square micro-pins laid out in a traction inducing grid pattern that will stick to the track like Velcro.

These tires are ideal for any indoor/outdoor hard-packed dirt track where bar-type tires are not getting the job done. The new Square Fuzzies will give you the confidence inspiring forward and side bite to propel you to the front!

The new Square Fuzzies are already proven winners taking the Victory in the hotly contested Stock Buggy class at the 2012 Novak Race(@ the HobbyPlex in Omaha, NE 1/8/2012) in the hands of Pro-Line’s Alex Eklund ! Here is what Alex had to say about the new Square Fuzzies: “The Square Fuzzies allowed me to drive deeper into a corner before braking and carry more corner speed and able to get back out of the corner hard and fast!! They were stuck to the track!”

Mac Mitchell , Pro-Line Team Driver and local legend in Arizona, had this to say about the new Square Fuzzies: “One word…. DIALED! These are a beast at SRS (Cactus Classic track). Incredible forward grip, solid side grip, great wear. What else can I ask for?”

This is a BullDog Clear Body for the Team Associated RC8.2 Buggy. Ryan Cavalieri is preparing for the IFMAR World Championships in 2012 and has developed the most advanced body yet: the 2012 BullDog body painted by Darkside Designs. Ryan took great care in refining the 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 rear of the roof has been lowered and fins have been added to achieve maximum engine head cooling and stable air flow over the body. The fins also add rigidity to the body to increase aerodynamic efficiency. This is a must have body for the RC8.2 for the new racing season!

Don’t forget to submit your finished Pro-Line BullDog body to Reader’s Rides when you are done. Who knows, you could get your ride posted on the blog and you could even win a prize!
