Pro-Line Revolver 2.0 VTR, closed cell inserts & Blockade tyres
Available soon are Pro-Line’s new Revolver 2.0 VTR truck tyre, VTR closed cell truck inserts and the new Blockade 1/8 scale buggy tyre. The Revolver 2.0 VTR 4.0” Off-Road 1/8 truck tyre is based on the original Revolver, which won the 2008 IFMAR World Championships at the Farm 2, in North Carolina. Subtle changes were made to the tread design that have resulted in better traction and faster lap times on a variety of racing surfaces. Available in Pro-Line’s M2 medium, M3 soft and M4 super soft rubber. Designed for the use with Pro-Line’s VTR line of 1/8 scale competition truck tyres are the updated VTR closed cell truck inserts. The inserts perfectly fit the shape of the tyre meaning no air gaps for a better support of the tyre and also a longer life of the insert even in harsh racing condition. The balanced and 100 percent water safe donuts are of a light weight and designed for tracks that desire a firmer insert. The Blockade 1/8 scale buggy tyre was seen before and finally hits the production status. The ROAR National title winning tyre features large lugs for extended tread life, a balanced tread spacing for optimised forward traction and a unique side tread.

Sweep updated EXP45 GT tires
With the growing popularity of the electric 1/8 GT class, it was obvious some changes were needed in the tires. Because of the extraordinary torque an electric motor creates, there is a lot of stress on the tires. The new improved Sweep EXP45 GT tires have been redesigned to provide more forward traction, come up to race temperature quicker and maintain optimum operating temperature. This results in greater acceleration out of the corner, fewer warm up laps and more consistent performance throughout the run.
