Pro-Line Pro-Spec buggy shocks

Pro-Line Pro-Spec buggy shocks

Pro-Line have introduced 1/10th buggy versions of their Pro-Spec high-performance shock absorbers. Previously only available for 1/10th short course trucks the shock Pro-Spec dampers now also come for today’s most popular buggies. They are of a 12mm Big Bore design with a single low friction X-ring seal while the pistons and shaft guides are made from smooth white Delrin for low stiction. The threaded aluminium bodies house 3.5mm thick shock shafts with hard chrome coating, just like full scale racing shocks. The shocks also feature an easy access bleeder cap screw for consistent shock builds every time and each pair includes three different piston options of 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8 sizes as well as a blank piston for drilling to a custom size. Custom shock tightening tools and optional shock limiters are also included. The dampers accept most 12mm big bore buggy springs and included are also several upper and lower shock pivot balls as well as optional +2, +4 and +6mm spring perches to fit a wider range of vehicles right out of the box. Coming as separate front and rear sets the shocks are known to fit the Team Associated B5, B5M and B44.3, the Kyosho RB6 and ZX-6, the TLR 22 2.0 and 22-4 as well as the Yokomo B-Max2 and B-Max4.

MIP 5ive-T Real Brakes Kit

MIP 5ive-T Real Brakes Kit

Introducing a system that looks and works much like disk brakes on motorcycles, bikes, and large cars, MIP’s all new Real Brakes are here for the Losi 5ive-T. Consisting of proper and replaceable brake pads for stopping power and a disk rotor that is sure to last the life of the car, this system is sure to stop Losi’s large scale truck on a dime. With the updated brakes adjusting the pitch of the car in the air is a synch and as the car reacts in the air the brake rotor will not get cocked forward or backward due to special brake guide. This system has been tested for months by MIP’s product development team and is attributed with the 2014 West Coast Nationals Win and 2015 Nitro Challenge wins.

DE SpeedLine Plus 2.4 1/10th buggy wheels

DE SpeedLine Plus 2.4 1/10th buggy wheels

The SpeedLine Plus 2.4 is the latest 1/10th buggy wheel from DE Racing. Offering a 2.4″ diameter, for the use with the latest generation of 1/10th buggy tyres, the wheel delivers maximum corner control and stability by utilising DE Racing’s “Sure Lock” foam retention system. This system, comprising of radial ribs that lock the wheel and foam insert together, retains maximum tyre traction to the racing surface while eliminating the vague inconsistencies that come from an insert that is free to move around on its wheel. The rims are available for Team Associated, Kyosho and TLR 1/10th buggies and in white, yellow or black colour.

Pro-Line Enforcer truggy bodyshells

Pro-Line Enforcer truggy bodyshells

Pro-Line introduce the Enforcer bodyshell for 1/8th nitro truggies. From the mind of Ty Tessmann and inspired from the Type-R buggy body, the Enforcer has a meaner and more angular front end look with swooping roof and bed sections for improved airflow and high-speed stability. The hood of the body is steeper to create more down force over the front wheels for more steering and faster lap times. The body is available in three different variants for the HB D8T Tessmann Edition, the Mugen MBX-7T and the TLR 8ight-T 3.0 and it comes clear, including window masks and decal sheets.
