Protoform 8ight Hard Drive shell

Protoform, who has spent the last 10 years focusing on race bodies for sedan, on-road and oval classes, have added a new body shell for the Losi 8ight to their ever-expanding off-road bodyline known as the HardDrive. Features consistent with all HardDrives include ventilation louvers found throughout each body, which are emulated after full-scale off-road vehicles and each can be cut out to allow air to flow more effortlessly through the body. This creates less airtime when flying over jumps and less airtime equals more time on the ground, and more time on the ground equals reduced lap times and greater consistency lap after lap.

Pro Line Hole Shot LPR

Yet more releases from Pro Line, the LPR Holeshot is the latest generation in tire design for 1:8 trucks. As the class has evolved into pure performance trucks over such a short amount of time, the need for a tire that could meet and exceed those same performance needs was inevitable. Pro Line stretched the boundaries by offering less sidewall flex, greater response, more forward bite and all at a total weight savings. At just 122 grams per tire, it is the lightest ROAR spec legal tire on the market.

Jason Ashton joins Associated

We are a little late with this news, as we were busy in Argentina, but Associated was in contact to let us know that Jason Ashton has joined their team. The 2004 ROAR 1/8th National Champion and IFMAR World Championship A-main finalist will campaign the Factory Team RC8 on the U.S. National and International racing circuit. Ashton brings a balance of experience and desire to the already lethal force that is the Associated 1/8th Racing Team. When asked why Ashton found racing for Team Associated so appealing he had this to say

When I analyzed all the teams, vehicles and companies, Team Associated continued to rise to the top. I’m racing for what I feel is the complete package. I am excited to have their support and to be a part of their Team.

Look for Ashton to debut his RC8 at the upcoming IFMAR World Championships Warm-Up at The Farm2 in late October and then on to the Nitro Pit for the Nitrocross Invitational.
