The ‘Team Edition’ concept uses the same Ultimate engines that are for sale, but the engines are assembled directly in our factory, completely broken-in and then thoroughly checked by our competition team to extract 100% of the performance of Ultimate engines.

JConcepts have announced that their Nessi tire is now available as a premounted option. The pre mount includes open cell, medium inserts for plush control, mounted on Mono wheels available in bright white and florescent yellow. The Nessi tyre shares styling cues from its successful brother, the Lockness. Racing on artificial surfaces require a lot of stability and forward-bite and the JC design team went to work to substantially improve performance. The new tyre brings a new 3D blended pin-size, pin-separation and a light-weight and low-profile carcass. Designed in the industry standard 2.2” bead mounting size, the Nessi is very versatile and has shown to work in many natural and artificial conditions. The semi-circle protrusions, unique to the Lockness and now the Nessi are included in the centre section of the tyre and on the sidewall area. These details are important and the low semi-circles improves side-bite but also minimise grip-rolling instances associated with normal pins.

Pro-Line have introduced the Dumont SC Front Paddle/Rib tires, that have been redesigned from the ground up to give your SC 4×4 even better handling and steering through the dunes or snow. The Dumont SC Front tire uses a unique combination of V-shaped paddles and tall outer ribs. This gives your 4×4 Short Course vehicle enhanced steering response over traditional paddles, while still providing sand-throwing forward traction. Pro-Line P-L logos have been embedded into the tire carcass giving it the style that you have come to expect from Pro-Line. The Dumont SC Paddle tire gets its name from the incredible Dumont Sand Dunes in California, but these paddle tires are equally at home shredding your local snowfield in the winter. The tires are mounted to a pair of Raid SC Removable Hex Wheels.
