Procircuit ‘Stinger’ | ‘Grasshopper’ 1:8 Buggy Astro Tyres
Spain’s Modelix Racing has introduced under its Procircuit tyre brand two new 1:8 Buggy patterns intended for high grip astro tracks, the Stinger and the Grasshopper. Featuring a completely redesigned V4 carcass, they are developed to maximise performance on astro surfaces. With a reinforced sidewall for increased lateral stability, they also have a lower profile to reduce sidewall flex and sliding. A Smaller diameter, contributes to more precise and predictable steering. Available pre-glued or unglued, they are exclusively offering in the A2 compound (Gold Dot). The Stinger pattern is designed with a high-density layout of long, spaced centre pins, and angled side blocks. This configuration provides direct forward traction, reduces lateral grip at high speeds, and improves cornering. Ideal for the front axle or for setups seeking easy, forgiving handling. The Grasshopper features a uniform distribution of long pins across the entire surface, offering maximum lateral grip and strong traction. Recommended for the rear axle or setups prioritising overall grip and sharp steering response.
