Pro-Line Hexon, Big Daddy tires & Alu. crawler wheels

Pro-Line have also presented some new tires and wheels starting with the release of these Hexon Buggy Rear Carpet Tires. The Hexon features a hexagon pattern of uniquely shaped pins that provide longer-lasting tread and more consistent performance than previous generation carpet tires. Just like the Prism 2.0, the Hexon features a low profile tire carcass shape that lowers your car’s centre of gravity for improved corner speed with the pins positioned with the flat edge pointed front to back for maximum forward grip and are narrow when viewed from the side to reduce traction rolling. This new tire also features a directional side tread so you can tune the performance of your tires to the current track conditions. You can choose to mount the standard pins on the outside for a more aggressive grip, or you can mount the vertical side pins to the outside for a more forgiving grip.

JConcepts tire break-in drill adaptor kit

One of the most used tools on the 1/10th off-road racing scene, JConcepts presents their new tire break-in device. It’s a pretty simple combination of a standard hex drive shaft for a typical drill but extended and given some lock driven flats, the simple item turns into a very useful tool around the track. An aluminium 12mm and 17mm hex adaptor slides over the shaft to give racers the option of which type of vehicle (1/10th or 1/8th) they are preparing tires for. The flywheel nut features a large diameter for grip and adjustment and the ability to flip directions for deeper dish shaped wheels. It also has stealth black anodising, laser etched JConcepts.net logo, grippy knurling and a lightened design for quick function and easy storage.
