Pro-Line Caliber 2.2″ M3 tires

Following the sneak peak last week, Pro-Line have released their popular Caliber tread for 1:10 Off-Road buggy both front and rear. 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.

Novarossi 2660 & 2084 tune pipes

Novarossi have introduced 2 new tuned pipes for the 2010 season, the first of which is the EFRA 2660 which is for the 1:10 Touring category. This new pipe may look similar to the last one, but some internal changes means that on the track this new pipe performs better throughout the rev range. Also new for the 1:8 Off-road category is the EFRA 2084, where the company’s quest for better drivability and lower fuel consumption resulted in this new tuned pipe. Falling into the ‘Super Strong’ range, it is more resistant to the rough world of 1:8 scale Off-road competition. Expect to see both in mid March.
