Pro-Line Desert Eagle 1/10th bodyshell

Pro-Line have introduced the gnarly looking Desert Eagle bodyshell for the use with 1/10th scale short course trucks. Resembling a fire-breathing, road-crushing 1970’s muscle car the body offers details like a supercharged V8 rising out of the hood, zoomie side pipes and twin roof and deck spoilers. The body can be mounted in several ways, one of which is a desert grunge style, a post-apocalyptic war machine like Max Rockatansky’s Ford Falcon in the famous Mad Max movies. This setup is best used with 2.2″/3.0″ front and 2.8″ rear tyres. On the other hand the body allows to create a nice street rod style muscle car when using the appropriate 2.8″ tyres. More information about the additional parts needed to fit the body can be found here.

Hot Race Miami 1/8th buggy tyres

The third in the line of Hot Race Tyres’ new 1/8th buggy tyres is the Miami. The medium-size pin tread offering builds on a special carcass with round shoulders, making for a tyre that is less prone to unsettle the car over ruts and worn-out sections of the track while an inner mesh makes for lower and more even tyre wear. The tyre is available in supersoft, soft, medium and hard compound from beginning of January.
