Pro-Line Caliber SC tires & Split Six wheels

New from Pro-Line for the Slash, Slayer, Blitz and SC10 is the Caliber SC tire. The Caliber takes tire technology to the next level by optimizing traction, control, balance, and tire wear with its dual-stage design. The smaller top pin penetrates through loose dirt while delivering unbelievable side and forward bite. The base pin works as a support for the top pin while acting as a dual-stage design once the top pin is worn down. You can rely on the base pin for greater tread life wear and it works well on those tracks that are prone to blue-groove or have a super clean surface. Also new, to work with Caliber SC and other SC tires, from Pro-Line is the the Split Six one piece wheel, whose design is the staple look of short course vehicles. Until now, it’s only been available in a 3 piece bead-loc design, but now it is offered in a lightweight one-piece glueable design that’s more affordable and completely performance driven.

JConcepts have released the Punisher body for the Associated RC8T, with its mean look, it separates itself from the rest of the bodies on the market with it’s distinctive styling. Beginning with the newly re-designed grill and headlights, the hood and cab are amongst the lowest in class giving the Punisher top notch performance. The bed area represents the latest offering for 1/8th truck racing featuring a super low profile design for increased engine cooling, air flow and escape and it requires an additional Maifield edition blue anodised JConcepts rear body mount to fit it. Also new from JConcepts is the new Mono 3.7″ standard offset wheel for trucks. The new Mono wheels are the maximum allowed size under ROAR rules and make a statement with their large appearance, flat dish shaped design and inner rib design.

AKA have announced the release of their Pro-5 1:8 buggy wheel aimed at the Short Course truck segment. The Pro-5 wheel is designed to use standard 1:8 buggy tires, but retain the scale look of Short Course trucks. This makes it a perfect compliment to the AKA 1:8 Wheel Adapters for the SC-10 and Slash SC trucks or a great ‘dress-up’ item for any buggy. Manufactured in the USA, it features a zero off-set, 17mm hex and will fit all standard 1:8 buggies, the Associated SC8 and the SC10 or Slash using the AKA adapters for those trucks. The five spoke design with the chrome accented bead lock really captures the essence of the SC trucks while offering the flexibility of fitting all the current buggy tires on the market.
