Pro-Line Pro-Bond tire glue

Pro-Line knows tires and understands that the strongest bond possible between the tire and wheel is a critical aspect of performance and tire longevity and so has developed Pro-Bond Tire Glue. The first challenge was developing the strongest glue possible while also having the correct flow characteristics and dry time that RC Racers and Bashers desire. This Glue has a hold strength of 3,200 PSI which is the highest strength of any tire glue available and their unique glue formula also provides the fastest drying glue possible while drying crystal clear with no yellowing or whitening found when gluing tires with other glues. A super soft and squeezable round bottle while the applicator tips are re-usable unlike the throw-away tubes and have the perfect size applicator hole for gluing tires.

Pro-Line Bulldog for Kyosho RB6

Pro-Line have released their Bulldog body for the Kyosho RB6. This body has been designed specifically to fit the Kyosho buggy chassis yet still provides the unmatched performance characteristics that define Pro-Line’s BullDog body line. Great care was taken in refining the BullDog design for 2012 to create even more stability with enhanced steering to gain an advantage on the track. The windshield is steeper to create more down force over the front wheels and the roof ridges have been raised to channel the air flow over the middle of the body for increased high-speed stability. The roof has been lowered in the rear and fins have been added to achieve stable air flow over the body. The fins also add rigidity to the body to increase aerodynamic efficiency.

Batlle TQs first qualifier in Argentina

Robert Batlle has TQ’d the opening round of qualifying at the 1:8 World Championships in Buenos Aires, the factory Mugen driver topping the 10-minute run by 4.3 seconds from TLR’s Dakotah Phend and the Xray of Martin Bayer.  With the teams and drivers expecting to wake up to a wet track this morning the forecasted rain stayed clear and the action was able to get away at 09:00 with Heat 1, made up of fastest Top 12, something that took many by surprise.  Team Associated’s Ryan Maifield, who was in that heat, was very critical of the event saying it was the ‘worst’ World Championships he had been to as there was a complete lack of communications. He continued that the schedule is being followed and the re-sort for the qualifying was not done how it was supposed to be done.  He finished his criticism with ‘where is IFMAR?’.
