VP-Pro Crosspass 1/10 buggy tyre

Available from May are the VP-Pro Crosspass 1/10th buggy rear tyres. Making use of the horseshoe tread introduced with the Friction tyre, the Crosspass features additional connecting crosses to reduce pin flexing for more stable and predictable handling on hard packed track surfaces. This creates a continuous line pattern across the entire surface of the tyre for unsurpassed stability, grip, and tread life. For extra traction and quicker break-in, the Crosspass also has tapered pins and alternating horizontal and vertical friction bars to allow some pin flexing. This provides even more side bite and forward bite on dusty hard packed blue-groove surfaces. The tyre will be available in VP-Pro’s medium, soft, and X-super soft compounds with or without closed cell inserts.
