Pro-Line Ambush truck body shells

Coming from Pro-Line are the new Ambush truck body shells for 313mm wheelbase rock crawlers and 1/10th monster trucks. The original Ambush body was released many years ago, well before scale crawling went mainstream, so Pro-Line has updated the body style for more modern tastes. The bodies include Pro-Line’s Ridge-Line Trail Cage moulded to replicate full scale cages and accepts Pro-Line’s Overland Scale Roof Rack, that is sold separately, for adding scale accessories like the optional 4″ LED Light Bar. The Ambush bodies feature a scale interior complete with seats and a separate dash along with a rear gas tank and trunk space for installing even more scale accessories. The bodies are available in two variants, for 313mm/12.3” wheelbase crawlers and also for 1/10th monster trucks such as the Pro-Line Pro-MT 4×4 or Traxxas Stampede 4×4.

Pro-Line Slide Job, Prism & KO2 SC tyres

Coming from Pro-Line are three new 1/10th short course tyres in the form of the Slide Job SC, Prism SC and T/A KO2 tyres. Starting with the Slide Job SC, the tread was specially developed for dirt oval racing and was inspired by the tyres found in full-size motorsport so drivers can have realistic style and performance on their SC Mod. The Slide Job SC features rounded side tread for consistent slide action that will not catch ruts and flip the truck when it is thrown up into the corner. The multi-block tread pattern creates great forward grip combined with long lasting and consistent performance. The 2.2”/3.0” tyre is available in the grippy M2 compound.

Pro-Line Sling Shot 4.3” Pro-Lock tyre mounted

Pro-Line have introduced the mounted version of their Sling Shot 4.3” Pro-Lock sand tyre for the Traxxas X-Maxx 1/8th scale truck. The tyre has been developed from the ground up for extreme punishment with an all-new ultra-durable compound that prevents tyre ballooning even at high speeds. The tyre features Pro-Line’s proprietary Pro-Loc technology that creates an ultra-secure bond to the Impulse Pro-Loc wheels while still being removable when required. The reinforced tyre bead fits into a uniquely shaped channel on the wheel and the bead-loc screws actually pass through the tyre rubber before being pinched by the outer bead-loc ring to create the maximum possible mounting security. The technology debuted on the Badlands MX43 Pro-Loc tyres and has proven to be extremely popular for the X-Maxx fans. The Sling Shot tyre come pre-mounted to Pro-Line’s Pro-Loc wheel that is finished off with the stone gray bead-loc ring and it comes in pairs.

Pro-Line TRX-4 Jeep Wrangler body shell

Pro-Line have introduced the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon body shell for the Traxxas TRX-4 trail truck. This body will completely transform the truck into an ultra scale modern Jeep rig perfect for rock crawling. The details from the full-size Jeep Wrangler Rubicon have been faithfully recreated and feature a few moulded in full-size style upgrade parts like rock sliders and tube fenders. The body is much lighter than the stock TRX-4 body for a lower centre of gravity and improved crawling performance. The body also features improved clearance front and rear allowing to tuck in the bumpers for massively improved approach and descent angles to get up and over obstacles easier than ever before. Window masks, paint-then-peel overspray film and fully licensed detailed stickers are included to finish off the look.

Pro-Line X-Maxx dual rate spring assortment

Pro-Line have introduced a dual rate spring assortment for the Traxxas X-Maxx truck. Specifically developed for Traxxas’ popular truck, the spring assortment pack includes a pair each of soft, medium and firm upper and lower springs that can be mixed and matched to give tons of tuning options. The main benefit of using dual rate springs is to have a softer initial combined spring rate for gliding over the small choppy bumps, but then transition to a much firmer rate once the upper spring is collapsed to absorb the big hits. The included spring separator is custom machined from black delrin for smooth sliding action over the shock body and the shoulder is offset so upper spring collapses consistently for proper performance. The upper springs are black and the lower springs are bright Zinc coated for a chrome-like finish.
