Pro-Line Prime 1/10th buggy slick tyre – Preview

Pro-Line Racing soon have the new Prime (semi)slick tyre for 1/10th off-road buggies available. With “Kojack” tyres being a hot ticket in certain indoor track conditions and they previously had to be hand made using grinders or sandpaper, more and more already prepped slick tyres now enter the market. And Pro-Line’s Prime tyre seems to go one step further as it offers a “cut slick” and slightly textured surfaces so by the looks of things it can be used right out of the bag with no break-in time needed. More information will be available soon.
