HB Racing have added the popular Megabite tire in a new Yellow compound (Medium Soft) to their range of tires for Nitro Buggy and E-buggy. Megabite tires in Yellow compound are a great choice for spec racing, and are the official tire used in the HB Race Days events. HB Megabite tires are suitable for outdoor and indoor tracks with wet or damp surfaces and a clean racing line. Hundreds of short square pins arranged around the carcass provide traction in the corners and a central double-row of extra-wide treads give excellent acceleration and stopping power. They come mounted on Version 2 of the HB 1/8 Buggy dish wheels that are 20% lighter than the original version, and HB black closed cell inserts are pre-installed. The Megabite tires are sold as pairs and available in Pink (Super Soft), Red compound (Soft) and White (Medium) compounds and also in the new Yellow compound (Medium Soft) which is in the range between the Pink and the Red compounds.

First up is the Prism 2.2″ front 2WD buggy tire, it features tons of ultra-sharp Prism-shaped pins in the middle of the tire combined with wedge style pins on the outside for incredible steering on small and tight carpet tracks without the edgy feel of full pin tires. The pins on the Prism are slightly smaller than the original pin point tire but there are many more of them, which results in faster and more consistent lap times. The Prism pins have been positioned with the knife edge pointed front to back and side to side for maximum grip and stay sharp even as they wear down. The Prism 2WD front tire perfectly pairs with Pro-Line’s Prism 2.0 rear tire for ideal carpet racing performance.

See: Pro-Line

Pro-Line have introduced the new Slide Lock MC (Clay) tyre for 1/8 buggy. The Slide Lock is a unique new tire design from Pro-Line that is made specifically for smooth, low grip tracks. The Slide Lock features a pattern of small, tightly packed hexagon and triangle shaped pins so you can lay down as much rubber as possible. The tread on the new Slide Lock is laid out wider across the tire carcass for a flatter profile overall compared to other Pro-Line 1/8 tyres. Each hexagon pin has a deep sipe down the middle of the tread for added flex and grip on even the slickest of surfaces. The built-in tread flex means you can run harder compounds for longer wear and still have good traction when you need it. The large and stiff side pins reach far down the sidewall to reduce edginess as much as possible.
