Press release from Leadfinger Racing:

Leadfinger carries over the new Assassin design to the popular TLR 3.0 nitro buggy!

Keeping the look of the Assassin's cab forward design form the previous electric buggy platform. Leadfinger reworks the new mold by lowering the profile and giving the nitro version a more aggressive look. As it's electric brother before him, the cab forward design helps bring more down force to the front of the car, providing more steering into and exiting corners.The rear swoop has been designed in mind to give slightly less down force to the rear and direct flow toward the center of the wing, helping straight line stability and more level jumping. The LFR Assassin body is made of thicker Lexan for greater durability. The clear masking is easy to remove and makes drawing your personal paint scheme a breeze. All of the Assassin's mold design's are hand crafted, personally inspected for quality and made in the U.S.A. by Leadfinger.
