Pro-Line Interco Super Swamper Crawler tires

Under official license from Interco Tire Corporation, Pro-Line is proud to announce the gnarliest tire yet for the 1/6 SCX6 rock crawler, the legendary Super Swamper TSL SX. With ‘almost scale’ not being acceptable and access to Interco’s design data, Pro-Line’s engineering staff has reproduced the original Super Swamper in a scale configuration matched by none. At a massive 7.15″ tall by 3″ wide, the Swamper adds a whole new style to your rig, perfectly combining scale looks with the legendary G8 compound for unmatched rock crawling performance. The full-size Super Swamper TSL SX features the ultimate tire tread design by pairing the distinctive chevron tread pattern with the famous, trademarked, and patented Interco TSL (three-stage lug) tread design. TSL is a lug pattern with short, intermediate, and long lugs that are each uniquely arranged, proportioned, and spaced which allows them to bite quickly and self-clean rapidly. Each of these details has been faithfully recreated in 1/6 scale to fit the 2.9″ SCX6 wheel.

Avid Ringer M4 wheel nuts & wing buttons

Avid have announced the release of their new Ringer product line with several more designs in the works to keep with our new theme. If you’re a fan of the silver highlight chamfer on your products then the Avid Ringer design approach is for you. The Avid M4 Ringer wheel nuts are designed to be the strongest all-around wheel nut for offroad and onroad racing. The 11mm flange provides the needed support from potential wheel flex on high bite tracks, while a thin 3.5mm thickness keeps weight down but also allows the nut to be used on 4wd fronts and if you cut your axles to length you will grab fewer pipes with them too. Then they added their aggressive serrations so you don’t have to tighten the wheel nut as much which helps in not deforming the wheel and ensures you will never pull the 7075-T6 threads out. The Avid Ringer wing buttons are designed to have that extra pop of two silver highlights without sacrificing durability. Both items are available in black, blue, red, pink, orange and silver.
