The chassis is thinner than H2RD‘s 2.5mm kit main plate with the 2.0mm plate increasing torsional flex for improved traction in low grip racing conditions. The chassis is made of Japanese Torayca T300 pure carbon fibre material for best possible quality and durability.

Made for drag racing converted Traxxas Slash 2WD trucks is the new Stinger wheelie bar from Pro-Line. The Stinger is a lightweight, single wheel pre-built wheelie bar that will keep the car tracking straight and the driver taking the victory. Made from very stiff yet durable nylon, the kit is designed to mimic full-size steel wheelie bars for the ultimate in scale look and performance. The height of the wheelie bar is adjustable, so drivers can dial in how much lift they want out of the front end and the wheel rides on a smooth ball bearing for minimal resistance.

Pro-Line is busy adding more new tyres to their line-up with the latest being the popular Positron 2.2 inch rear tyre in S4 super soft compound. Designed from the ground up with an all-new carcass shape and futuristic directional tread design, the Positron delivers true next-generation performance with 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 for a familiar Pro-Line signature look. From there the connected bars shoot off at angles that have been specifically designed to provide ideal steering feel when combined with the Positron front tyre 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.

Pro-Line have unleashed the Ibex Ultra Comp 2.2” rock terrain competition tyre. In nature, the Ibex is a powerful and wild species of mountain goat known for its large horns and incredible climbing abilities on near-vertical rock faces. This amazing animal served as an inspiration for developing the Ibex tyre in super soft Predator compound. Designed from the ground up with input from multi-time Comp Crawling World Champion Jake Wright, the tyre is 5.5” tall by 1.75” wide allowing for greater agility when tackling extremely tight gates with MOA or Super Shafty comp rigs. The multi-step tread pins on the Ibex are spaced out perfectly to dig into every possible edge on the rock face to give you the advantage over the competition. The Ibex 2.2” tyre is made from Pro-Line’s proprietary super soft Predator compound, which is ultra-sticky and allows the tyre carcass to conform to any surface.
