Pro-Line ElectroShot VTR truck & new 1/5th tyres

Coming from Pro-Line are three new off-road tyres in the form of the ElectroShot VTR 4.0″ 1/8th truck as well as the Blockade and LockDown 1/5th truck tyres. Starting with the ElectroShot VTR 4.0″, the tyre comes from the mind of Ty Tessmann and is designed to perform just like a Hole Shot 2.0 while lasting significantly longer. The ElectroShot is a combination of Pro-Line’s Electron and HoleShot tread designs with connected bars in the centre where the heaviest tyre wear occurs and Holeshot pins everywhere else for maximum traction. The tyre will become available in M3 soft and X3 soft compounds.

Also new is the Blockade large scale off-road tyre for the rear of the Baja 5SC or the front and rear of the 5ive-T truck. Designed for nearly any track condition, the Blockade features large, spaced lugs for forward traction while offering exceptional tread life. For super loose conditions, the Blockade tyre can be tuned for more aggressive traction by trimming out alternating knobs. The inside of the Blockade contains detailed webbing that strengthens the tyre carcass and prevents excessive expansion under load. The tyre comes in the X2 compound and without inserts.

Last but not least comes the LockDown tyre that has a more open tread pattern than the Blockade, making it perfect for loose conditions. The LockDown also features connected side tread technology that reduces the edginess of the truck to prevent catching a rut and flipping. Like the Blockade the LockDown comes with a reinforced carcass and in X2 compound without tyre inserts.
