The tyre features double side rails on the edges of the tire provide extra sidewall support. This extra support is key to making the tire feel consistent in the turns allowing for a more aggressive driving style. The wide staggered centre lugs give the tyre great forward traction to hook up the power and launch your vehicle off the corner and over the jumps.

Pro-Line XXX-SCT/SCB front inboard hub

Pro-Line introduce a front inboard hub set for Losi’s XXX-SCT and XXX-SCB Short Course kits. Replacing the front hubs and axles, it converts the assembly into a floating 12mm hex, allowing to run Pro-Line’s ProTrac wheels or any other zero offset 12mm hex wheel on the front of the Losi SC truck or buggy. The front inboard hub kit also allows to run Losi XXX-SCT/SCB rear offset wheels in the front of the truck or buggy but this will make the front about 0.1” wider than stock, which is still within ROAR legal width requirements.
