Speed World Sorex Pre mounts

Having been the USA importer of the Sorex racing rubber tires since 2000, Billy Bowerman and SpeedWorld Raceway will be launching their first ever pre-mounted rubber racing tire. Together with JACO Racing they believe they will be offering one of the best combination of racing rubber tire pre-mounts available. The pre-mounts will come in 24R, 28R, 32R and 36R Sorex tires, mounted on the latest JACO Prism wheel together with one of the best designed inserts made today, and glued by JACO Racing. SpeedWorld has been testing different combinations for years at SpeedWorld Raceway in California and this combination has proven to be extremely fast for many runs and proven to last. Available from the middle of April, just in time for the asphalt racing to start.

Pro-Line Caliber & Suburb tires

New from Pro-Line are the Caliber 1/8th scale buggy tire and the Suburbs for 1/10th scale trucks. The Caliber’s step-pin technology collides with small pin technology to bring you a tire tread that is versatile and long-lasting. The small top pin is good for light to heavy loose dirt, while the base pin works great on hard-packed/blue-groove surfaces. Available in XTR, M2 and M3 compounds. The Suburbs are now available for 1/10 truck owners in M3 and new MX compounds and feature an inner and outer radius rib tread for increased corner holding and predictable side-bite. The internal carcass webbing resist tire expansion under acceleration and deceleration, while the internal sidewall ribbing maintains sidewall structure in extreme traction conditions for greater corner control. Tread height is predictable, aggressive, and long-lasting for use on a variety of blue-groove, and surfaces where you would typically run soft compound tires.

When US based company X Factory introduced the X-6 three years ago it made a huge impact on the otherwise ‘traditional’ 2WD off-road buggy market. The X-6 utilized an unconventional design by dropping the popular rear motor design for the promising mid-motor layout associated with certain Italian sports cars … Despite that fact that some voices arose that state a real 2WD buggy has to have a rear mounted motor, the success of the X-6, especially in the UK, showed that X Factory made the correct decision. After introducing the upgraded ‘4-Gear’ version of the X-6 last year, X Factory have just released the new X-6 Squared with further improvements to make for a totally ‘dialled’ and near perfect ‘out of the box’ buggy.
