I still have on on the shelf. Was undecided if I run this or the Durango at the 4WD Nationals but I think I go for the B44 (MiD44) just for the shell. :p

:lol:

P.S.: I really wonder when the first Punisher/Bulldog inspired on-road bodies hit the light of the day ...

If it has anything to do with aerodynamics I can't really see it on the B44, the air is still going to slam into the rear shock tower on the way back

The idea is to have a big flat front window closer to the front to give more steering, it's hard to see in the pictures posted so far but the window is higher than standard as well as further forward to catch air over the top of the shock tower. The lower back is more to get extra cooling on nitro engines, but it looks like it's been carried over to the B44 shell as it's part of the Punisher 'look'.

Indeed, the longer you look at the posted photos, the more brainwashed you get... Should fit on the TRF501/511X, no ???:rolleyes:

Why? Has anybody ever had a B44 which suffered from a lack of steering?
It's the same as everything else in the RC world - a well respected company makes something new any everybody buys it. (except me cos there are obiously several blind people on here:thumbsup:)
