Pro-Line E-Revo Pro-Spline HD axles

Coming from Pro-Line and made for the E-Revo and Summit are the pre-assembled Pro-Spline HD axles. Designed to fit both in the front and the rear the Pro-Spline HD technology debuted on the Pro-Line Pro-MT kit. The driveshafts are made from hardened black oxide coated steel and they feature a true 6-sided spline that slides smoothly throughout the suspension travel without having to worry about stripping out like the stock plastic drive shafts. The pins are held in place by fully surrounded steel springs and M3 set screws on both ends to handle extreme performance.

Pro-Line Micron 2WD & 4WD front tyres

Pro-Line’s Micron 1/10th buggy tyre is now also available as a 2WD and 4WD front variant.

The tyres feature connected tread technology similar to the Electron with an emphasis on creating as many forward facing edges as possible for maximum forward grip. The unique centre tread zig zags back and forth for great forward bite and side bite while maintaining good wear.

Pro-Line Desert Eagle 1/10th bodyshell

Pro-Line Desert Eagle 1/10th bodyshell

Pro-Line have introduced the gnarly looking Desert Eagle bodyshell for the use with 1/10th scale short course trucks. Resembling a fire-breathing, road-crushing 1970’s muscle car the body offers details like a supercharged V8 rising out of the hood, zoomie side pipes and twin roof and deck spoilers. The body can be mounted in several ways, one of which is a desert grunge style, a post-apocalyptic war machine like Max Rockatansky’s Ford Falcon in the famous Mad Max movies. This setup is best used with 2.2″/3.0″ front and 2.8″ rear tyres. On the other hand the body allows to create a nice street rod style muscle car when using the appropriate 2.8″ tyres. More information about the additional parts needed to fit the body can be found here.
