Pro-Line Closed cell Foam inserts & new tire options

Continuing on with the recent releases by Pro-Line, the US company have introduced some new items for 1/8th scale off road vehicles. First up are these closed cell foam inserts that feature channels to capture the tire so the carcass flex is kept to a minimum. This removes air gaps in between the tire and ensures it is perfectly balanced. This can also be re used which is just in time for Pro-Line’s next release which are ‘a la carte’ tires that means you can now buy your favourite thread and compound in a set of 4, without foam. Finally you can now also get your favourite VTR 4.0″ threads pre mounted on zero offset yellow and white Velocity VTR rims.
