Pro-Line’s January releases include a selection of new tyres, SC options and apparel. Information of each can be found below…
Diamond Back X2 & X3:
Pro-Line’s all-new Diamond Back race tire is ready to Strike the competition. The Diamond Back replicates the look of a Snake’s Skin with progressive tread is denser in the center to provide the long wear that customers expect, and then spreads out closer to the sidewall to cut through the dust and debris found on the track surface. The Diamond Back tire has a fast but easy-to-drive feel that proved exceptional at the highest level of competition – The 2012 IFMAR World Championships in Buenos Aires, Argentina where Pro-Line driver Ty Tessmann used the Diamond Back tires to record the Fastest Single Lap (43.274) of the Entire Event! The Diamond Back tire combined with the High-Speed and Long Wear European style X Compound provides unmatched traction, drivability and durability not found in any race tire to date.
Bow-Tie X2 & X3:
Pro-Line’s original Bow-Tie took the 1:8 Buggy racing World by storm winning the 2006 IFMAR World Championship and countless National Championships. The Bow-Tie is back stronger than ever as the Bow-Tie 2.0! The new Bow-Tie 2.0 tire received a complete overhaul with the latest generation Race Tire carcass and enhanced side pin tapering designed to smooth out the steering and not catch the ruts. The Bow-Tie’s signature tall, horizontal, Bow-Tie shaped Tread remains intact along with the incredible traction that everybody loves from the Bow-Tie. The Bow-Tie 2.0 is now available in Pro-Line’s new High-Speed and Long Wear European style X Compound so you can run exactly what Team Pro-Line used to take on the very best drivers at the IFMAR World Championships!
ION 2.2″:
The ION proved electrifying from the start, taking the ROAR National Championship in Pro-2 SC at the hands of Ryan Cavalieri! The ION was designed from the ground-up to be the ultimate indoor clay tire requiring zero break-in period and ground breaking performance that is now available for your Buggy! The unique molecular structure tread design provides unbelievable forward and side traction not yet achieved in any indoor race tire to date. Even with the super-low tread height, maximum wear is reached by the alternating dual center lugs. The ION is also extremely easy to drive due to the super-smooth side tread that flows organically out of the tire sidewall.

#6102-00 – This is a Hard Anodized Pivot Ball & Rod End Set for Slash® 2WD. A major problem with the stock Slash® 2WD suspension is the excessively tight stock rod ends and heavy steel pivot balls that prevent the suspension and steering components from moving freely. Pro-Line has solved this problem with all new Hard Anodized Lightweight Aluminum Pivot Balls and properly sized Pro-Line Rod Ends for a buttery-smooth suspension only found on high-end race trucks. The PRO-2 Hard Anodized Pivot Ball & Rod End Set will allow your truck to react quicker and be more planted through the corners. Upgrade your Slash® 2WD today with Pro-Line’s PRO-2 upgrades!

Pro-Line Performance Transmission Optional Upgrades:
If you have Pro-Line’s Performance Transmission, then you need the Optional Anti-Squat Blocks to really dial in the Performance of your Truck. The Performance Transmission comes with 3 degrees of Anti-Squat (same as the Stock Slash®) and this Optional Pack includes 2 degrees, 4 degrees and 5 degrees to tune to your specific track. In testing, we found that the PRO-2 equipped Slash® provides more side grip with a lower Anti-Squat angle, and more forward bite with a higher Anti-Squat angle.
Big Blox X2 & X3:
Introducing the Ultimate Long Wear tire – Pro-Line’s all new Big Blox. Customers and Racers continue to demand higher and higher performance out of 1:8 Buggy Race tires while also requiring tires that last longer and longer. After much consultation and input from top-level Pro-Line drivers both in the U.S., Europe and across the Globe, Pro-Line has developed the all-new Big Blox Race Tire to meet these lofty expectations. Large center lugs formed into a grid pattern provide the base for the long wear characteristics and unmatched mechanical grip found by all test drivers. The Big Blox tire also pays homage to Pro-Line’s rich racing heritage and 30th Anniversary with Bow-Tie shaped lugs that scoop the Earth and propel your Buggy to the top step of the podium. Great care was taken in detailing the side tread to achieve the same smooth side bite and steering feel found in Pro-Line’s highly successful Multi-time National Champ Blockade Race Tire. The Large Lugs on the Big Blox allow racers to choose softer compounds than previously possible while still lasting through long A-Mains.
