Pro-Line Convict 2.0 1:8 Buggy Tyre

US tyre manufacturer Pro-Line has released a new updated 2.0 version of its Convict 1:8 Buggy race tyre. A lightweight and more versatile version of the popular world-championship-winning Fugitive, the Convict features strategically placed small connecting bars that improve the stability of the tyre tread, which is especially important when used in softer compounds. Now, the proven Convict pattern is available as the Convict 2.0, constructed on Pro-Line’s latest generation carcass profile that utilises a single arc to create the sidewall geometry, then transitions from the sidewall to the crown with a larger radius resulting in a rounder and less edgy appearance. This carcass provides a tailored fit to the wheel and insert package, making mounting a breeze. The Convict 2.0 is available in four popular compounds, M3 & M4 for watered tracks, S3 & S5 long wear for more abrasive dry tracks, and includes our latest generation closed cell foam insert.

Pro-Line SCX10 Twin I-Beam Pre-Runner Suspension Kit

Pro-Line has released a Twin I-Beam Pre-Runner Suspension kit to transform your SCX10 I/II into a 2WD Desert Truck. In the early days of offroad desert racing, I-Beam trucks became the standard suspension setup due to their uncompromised durability, easily attained long-travel, and overall simplicity. Now, you can capture that desert racing sprit using your SCX10 kit as a base to build a 1/10 scale pre-runner. The Twin I-Beam front suspension consists of two long “I-beam” arms that cross one another in an X-pattern. These arms control the lateral forces applied to the wheels, while radius arms reach backward toward the centre skid plate to stabilise each wheel in the fore-aft direction. This super scale conversion kit utilises the same geometry setup as 1:1 trucks with true swingset steering and centre-mount radius arms to optimise handling throughout the entire suspension travel. The kit includes everything you need to easily convert your rig and completely change the driving experience of your SCX10. Stainless steel links and steel pivot balls provide dependable endurance, while the new battery tray moves the battery to the rear of the vehicle for optimal weight bias and performance. The new front shock tower features holes for dual shock mounting, and the new rear trailing arms have 3 wheelbase options for added adjustability and versatility.
