Pro-Line have just released this sneaky teaser image of their forthcoming Mugen MBX-7 body. Given some of the details visible the body will sport the distinctive and quite edgy “Phantom” design meaning it will very likely be a cab forward offering with an aggressively styled rear end and other performance enhancing aero gizmos. More details to come soon.

Pro-Line have unveiled their new Electron 1/10th rear tire, available in M4 Super Soft and MC Clay compounds. The Electron shares close family ties with Pro-Line’s popular ION tire with the iconic dirt grabbing centre tread and futuristic styling. Featuring connected tire tread technology to improve traction and wear on even the most abrasive of indoor track conditions, the square centre pins laid out between the connected tread provide consistent forward and side bite even when the track gets dusty. PL have also introduced their new Velocity VTR 2.4” front wheels. The VTR wheels introduce the horizontal mounting style common in 1:8 Nitro and brings it to the precision environment of the 1:10 racing scene, resulting in a lightweight tire/wheel package. The tire mounting surface has been increased from 2.2” to 2.4” giving the tire a lower profile sidewall and ultimately more traction. Suitable for the front of the 2wd 22, RB6, B4.2 and B5 and a separate version for the 4wd B44.2 they are available in yellow or white.
Available from June is Pro-Line’s latest 1/8th off-road tyre called the LockDown. Coming in a range of compounds such as the X2 to X4 as well as the M3 and M4, the tyre makes use of a distinctive block tread with outer X-shaped pins. More information about the tyre and its applications should become available soon.

Pro-Line introduce the BlockBuster bodyshell as well as aluminium option parts for the Pro-2 truck. Starting with the body, the BlockBuster is specifically designed for creating movies and inboard off-road footage by mounting “action” video cameras such as the GoPro inside. Complete with a dash for realistic first person camera shots, the body is perfect for creating action packed sequences. It is made out of extra thick lexan with moulded-in strengthening ribs to provide a stable camera mount for non-shaky footage. The sides of the body extend past the top of the camera for protection against roll-overs while the outside looks tough and ready with the Desert Militia style appearance.

Pro-Line introduce the Type-R bodyshells for the Hot Bodies D413 and D812 buggies. The Type-R came from the mind of Pro-Line team driver Ty Tessmann with a unique mid-cab look and undercut side pods that break away from all of the recent cab forward trends. The Type-R body for the D413 fits perfectly around the triangulated shock towers of Hot Bodies’ latest 4WD electric buggy and features kick up in the rear for balanced front to rear down force. Pro-Line’s new Type-R body style is a single piece body unlike the stock 3-piece screw together unit, which is difficult to paint and mount. The Type-R for the D812 is the same exact one that Ty used to dominate the 2014 Nitro Challenge. Both the 1/10th and 1/8th body come clear, including window masks and decal sheet.

Pro-Line introduce new VTR series 1/10th buggy tyres in the form of the Transistor VTR and Suburbs VTR. Starting with the Transistor the tyre is available as 2WD and 4WD front tyre and designed to offer good, consistent steering in a variety of conditions thanks to the dots and bars design. The Suburbs rear tyre is already known for its performance on indoor clay and outdoor blue groove surfaces and now comes also as VTR variant. The VTR tyres and wheels introduce the horizontal mounting style common in 1:8 Nitro and bring it to the precision environment of the 1:10 racing scene, resulting in the lightest tyre/wheel package possible. All three tyres are available in X2 medium, M4 super soft and MC clay compounds. The VTR tyre line is rounded out by the new Velocity VTR 2.4″ hex wheels for buggies such as the TLR 22, RB5 and RB6, B4.1/2 and the B44.1/2. The rims are available in fluorescent yellow and standard white.
