Also new from Pro Line are the Velocity V2 wheels, that are Larger in diameter and width than previous wheels to give your car more traction and stability. The V2’s are 1.3mm wider and 3mm taller than the traditional size 1:8 wheels, which transfers into a stiffer side wall for less side wall flex enhancing stability and connectivity with your 1:8 buggy.

Additional features include an integrated hot runner system when the wheel is produced, which allows the wheel to be moulded to the tightest of tolerances and the ultimate in trueness.
