Pro-Line Slide Job 2.2” dirt oval tyres

Following a first teaser image Pro-Line have officially introduced their new Slide Job 2.2” dirt oval off-road tyre. The tread pattern was inspired by the tyres found in full-size dirt oval racing so drivers can have realistic style and performance on their sprint cars or any 2.2” buggy tyre application. The Slide Job tyre features rounded side tread for consistent slide action that will not catch ruts and flip the car when it is thrown up into the corner. The multi-block tread pattern also creates great forward grip combined with long lasting and consistent performance and the tyre is available as front or rear variant in soft M3 compound, suitable for standard 2.2″ buggy wheels, and including blue closed cell inserts.

JConcepts YZ-4 SF Aero front wing sets

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Yokomo YZ-4 SF 1/10th 4WD buggy are two new Aero front wings and a single front scoop kit. Mounted above or in front of the front shock tower on the Yokomo YZ4-SF vehicle, the Aero front wing mounts in “clean air” and is quite easy to trim, use and test without sacrificing all important track time. Coming in two widths, the driver can choose either the narrow variant for a lighter feel or wide for heavier down force. Cut lines are included for easy trimming while wing mount dimples are included for a bolt-on fit to the popular Yokomo YZ4-SF vehicle. Also new is the lower front scoop, an option to the tower mounted front wing that has shown to produce enhanced steering characteristics. The package includes a quantity of two items for additional use or to outfit multiple vehicles with one purchase. Ryan Maifield captured the 2017 IFMAR World Championship in the 4WD class using this item. Reports from the pit area revealed an increased feel and sensitivity in the larger sweeping sections and helped jumping attitude in the tricky section of the difficult Xiamen built track surface.
