Pro-Line release new 1/8th buggy tyres

Coming from Pro-Line are two new 1/8th buggy tyres and a compound update for the Fugitive tyre. Starting with the new tyres, first up is the SwitchBlade, a unique directional tyre with different tread on the outside compared to the inside, allowing to mount the tyre in the direction that suits the current track conditions. One side of the tyre has standard pins, which is ideal for loose or low traction conditions where the driver wants the tyre to add side grip and improve steering. When the tyre is switched to the other side, the tread is connected in a blade that reduces side traction in high-bite or edgy conditions. The pin size and pin spacing of the SwitchBlade is exactly in between the Hole Shot 2.0 and the Blockade, and the tread design also bears a striking resemblance to the iconic Hole Shot tread, but each lug is bigger, taller and more spaced out than the Hole Shot.

JConcepts B5M Aero rear wing

New from JConcepts comes the B5M Aero rear wing. It makes for the optimum balance between steering and forward stability as the wing has intriguing details, such as a leading edge that drops below the mounting point that acts in a scooping manner. The centre channel is just narrow enough for the B5M wing mount assembly but drops the wing at just the correct height and position. The side-dams feature large openings for tyre clearance and expansion. An innovative forward gurney option gives drivers an adjustment that previously hasn’t been available in the class. Clipped rear corners help minimise flex breakage which is common on 1/10th off-road racing machines. The wing cut-lines offer the now standard, front corner angle and the joint wing assembly includes two wing pieces in each package.
