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.

Pro-Line Sling Shot 4.3” Pro-Loc sand tyres

Made for Traxxas’ X-Maxx 1/8th scale truck are Pro-Line’s new Sling Shot 4-3” Pro-Loc sand tyres. These tires have been developed from the ground up for extreme X-Maxx punishment with an all-new ultra-durable compound that prevents tire ballooning even at high speeds. The tyre features Pro-Line’s proprietary Pro-Loc technology that creates an ultra-secure bond to the company’s Impulse Pro-Loc X-Maxx 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.
