Pro-Line Bomber Pro-Panels clear body shell

Pro-Line have released the Pro-Panels body shell for the Axial Bomber rock racer kit. The Pro-Panels are a direct replacement for the stock hood, roof and side panels and feature added shape details for a more aggressive look. The back of the roof features an optional brake light mount for 4″ light bars that can simply be trimmed away along the roof line if no light bars are used. Since the Pro-Panels come clear, drivers can put their own custom paint job on the Bomber and separate their rig from the rest. The Pro-Panels are made from very thick and super durable polycarbonate for long lasting performance.

Pro-Line Positron T & Prism T 2.2″ truck tyres

Pro-Line have introduced their new Positron T and Prism T 2.2″ 1/10th truck tyres. Starting with the Positron T, the tyre was designed from the ground up with a futuristic directional tread design for improved grip and corner speed on indoor clay tracks. The tread design pays homage to the Electron and ION tyre before it with the two centre pins boxed in by connected bars. From there the connected bars shoot off at angles that have been specifically designed to provide maximum forward bite combined with unmatched corner speed all while lasting longer than the competition. The Positron is directional, which adds another tuning option for the racers always looking for that extra edge since it will perform differently depending on which direction it is run. The tyre is available in M4 super soft and MC clay compounds and including blue closed cell inserts.

Pro-Line Buck Shot 1/8th buggy & truggy tyres

Coming from Pro-Line are the new Buck Shot 1/8th buggy and truggy tyres. The new tyre tread debuted at the 2017 ROAR National Championships and it has pins that are very close in size to the popular Hole Shot 2.0 but the Buck Shot pins are stacked closer together side to side, which provides significantly longer lasting performance. Unique to the Buck Shot are also the alternating elongated bars that provide tons of forward bite. Similar to the popular SwitchBlade tyre, the Buck Shot is a directional tyre with different tread on the outside compared to the inside, allowing to mount the tyres in the direction that suits the current track conditions. One side of the tyre has standard pins, which is ideal for loose or low traction conditions where drivers want the tyre to add side grip and improve steering. When mounted in the other direction, the connected side tread reduces side traction in high-bite or edgy conditions. The buggy tyre is available in M3 soft, M4 super soft, X2 medium and X3 soft compound while the truck VTR 4.0 tyre comes in M3, M4 and X3 compound.
