Pro-Line Shadow 2.2” buggy tyres

Coming from Pro-Line are their new Shadow 2.2” buggy tyres. Designed for drivers that are tired of burning down brand-new Positrons into ghost pins or slicks in order to be competitive in several track conditions, the new Shadow tyres have the same Positron tyre shape but require much less grinding and burning in to get into the sweet spot. The tread of the Shadow matches the internal webbing exactly as if the internal webbing grew from the inside out. This provides consistent stability when running as ghost shadow tread while the short tread makes it easy to burn off when needing a full slick. The tyre is available as 2WD front, 4WD front and 2WD/4WD rear tyre in MC clay and S4 super soft compounds.

Hot Race Tyres Hagberg Edition Red Dot 1/12th tyre

Hot Race Tyres from Italy have introduced their new Hagberg Edition Red Dot 1/12th scale foam tyre. Developed in cooperation with IFMAR World and multi-time EFRA European Champion, Alexander Hagberg, the tyre will excel especially on ETS carpet due to being made of a more closed cell foam compared to the regular Hagberg Edition tyres. The new Red Dot compound will provide increased grip and it already showed its performance by allowing Alex to bring home the 2020 EFRA 1/12th scale European Championship title. The tyres come pre-trued and mounted to white 6-spoke rims.
