Pro-Line 2.8”LP stadium truck tyres

Coming for trucks such as the Traxxas Rustler 2WD or 4×4 are three new specialised 2.8” tyres from Pro-Line. Starting with the Trencher LP 2.8” all-terrain tyre, the tread is ideal when running in loose or hard-packed dirt, sand, snow, street or gravel conditions. The Trencher LP 2.8” is a direct replacement tyre and will fit on any 2.8” wheels including all of Pro-Line’s 2.8” wheel options. The Trencher tread was designed to have ultimate traction combined with long-lasting durability. Each tyre lug is shaped to dig into whatever surface modellers are running on and is ultra-thick so that it is extremely durable. Next up is the Sand Paw LP 2.8” tyre. There is nothing like the rush of ripping through the sand dunes or shredding the fresh powdery snow with a high-powered truck. Usual tyres will just slip around in the sand and snow, but the Sand Paw LP tyre will grip, rip and roost. The 2.8” tyre will fit most 2.8” wheels. Last but not least comes the Street Fighter LP 2.8” tyre that has the perfect balance of G force enhancement and style that will keep the truck turning heads. The Street Fighter LP 2.8” is a direct replacement tyre and will fit on any 2.8” wheels including all of Pro-Line’s 2.8” wheel options.

Yokomo BD9 2.0mm hard carbon fibre main chassis plate

Coming soon from Yokomo is a new 2.0mm carbon fibre main chassis place cut from a harder graphite material. Thinner than the standard kit carbon fibre chassis yet harder thanks to a special graphite material, the chassis is an in-between solution for tracks that require a harder chassis than the standard kit carbon plate, yet need a softer solution than an aluminium plate. In addition the reduced thickness allows to run lower roll centre settings which can help in lower grip conditions. The chassis is precision machined to the highest standards, ensuring straight and tweak-free alignment of all parts, ensuring equal left-to-right flex and steering characteristics.

Pro-Line Super J & Octane drag racing body shells

Pro-Line have introduced their new Super J and Octane drag racing body shells for converted Slash-type short course trucks. Starting with the Super J, PL’s first-ever body dedicated to the ever-growing SC drag racing class, the full-blown Pro-Mod body will transform the Traxxas Slash 2WD into a scale quartermile beast. This retro custom hot-rod style body features a ton of scale details to give any SC drag car a super unique, race-inspired look. The Super J is a convenient 1-piece body design with no assembly necessary. Pro-Line recommend using a 2.2” buggy wheel/tyre combo on the front combined with a 2.2”/3.0” SC wheel/tyre in the rear for the ultimate scale hot-rod stance. However, to create a more scale look, the body is designed with a narrower track width than a traditional SC body and will require some modifications to the 2WD Slash in order to fit correctly. A list of modifications needed to fit the Super J can be found here.

Xray T4F 1/10th FWD touring car kit

Following a couple of body-on teaser images, Xray have finally unveiled their all-new T4F 1/10th front wheel drive touring car kit. With the FWD concept being a first for the Slovakian manufacturer, the car still shares about 90 percent of its parts with the company’s ultra-successful T4 4WD touring car platform, making spare parts stocking easy while allowing for a simple, efficient and easy to work on platform. The car was developed and tested in cooperation with Germany’s Harald Schmittgen and it makes use of a narrow 2.2mm thick carbon fibre chassis that features predrilled locations for the adjustable battery mounts and optional chassis weights, making for a super reactive and easy to control car in all track conditions. A specially-developed 2.0mm graphite top deck is a universal solution for both low and high-bite tracks, providing both exceptional traction and side bite.
