Pro-Line Ambush truck body shells

Coming from Pro-Line are the new Ambush truck body shells for 313mm wheelbase rock crawlers and 1/10th monster trucks. The original Ambush body was released many years ago, well before scale crawling went mainstream, so Pro-Line has updated the body style for more modern tastes. The bodies include Pro-Line’s Ridge-Line Trail Cage moulded to replicate full scale cages and accepts Pro-Line’s Overland Scale Roof Rack, that is sold separately, for adding scale accessories like the optional 4″ LED Light Bar. The Ambush bodies feature a scale interior complete with seats and a separate dash along with a rear gas tank and trunk space for installing even more scale accessories. The bodies are available in two variants, for 313mm/12.3” wheelbase crawlers and also for 1/10th monster trucks such as the Pro-Line Pro-MT 4×4 or Traxxas Stampede 4×4.

Pro-Line Slide Job, Prism & KO2 SC tyres

Coming from Pro-Line are three new 1/10th short course tyres in the form of the Slide Job SC, Prism SC and T/A KO2 tyres. Starting with the Slide Job SC, the tread was specially developed for dirt oval racing and was inspired by the tyres found in full-size motorsport so drivers can have realistic style and performance on their SC Mod. The Slide Job SC features rounded side tread for consistent slide action that will not catch ruts and flip the truck when it is thrown up into the corner. The multi-block tread pattern creates great forward grip combined with long lasting and consistent performance. The 2.2”/3.0” tyre is available in the grippy M2 compound.
