Pro-Line also now offers closed cell foam inserts for those tracks that desire a firmer insert set-up. Available in V2, V3 and VTR versions, channel details capture the tire so carcass flex is kept to a minimum and there are now no air gaps in between tires, unlike other brands. For racing your short course truck PL offer their Caliber and Bow-Tie patterns pre mounted on split six black one-piece wheels. Or if you wish to turn your SC into a sand slinging super truck you can try these new Sling Shot SC tires. With 10 monster grabbing 1/4″ tall paddles sand and snow are easily overcome. The Mohawk SC is the perfect compliment for the front of the car. A large center rib and smaller outer rib give your Short Course truck immediate steering. Both are available unmounted or pre mounted on either split six black one-piece wheels or split six red/black bead-loc wheels.
