Fabian Luca Widmer could take the 3rd A-main to secure the runner up spot for the round with Nico Schmid (Xray) completing the podium in 3rd.

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.
