We already brought you the new Bulldog from Pro-Line for the HB D8T. The Associated RC8T version is also on the way and the body looks to already be bullying the competition with Ryan Cavalieri dominating the Nitrocross World Championships with it recently. Pro-Line also now offers closed cell foam inserts for those tracks that desire a firmer insert set-up. Available in V2, V3 and VTR versions, channel details capture the tire so carcass flex is kept to a minimum and there are now no air gaps in between tires, unlike other brands. For racing your short course truck PL offer their Caliber and Bow-Tie patterns pre mounted on split six black one-piece wheels. Or if you wish to turn your SC into a sand slinging super truck you can try these new Sling Shot SC tires. With 10 monster grabbing 1/4″ tall paddles sand and snow are easily overcome. The Mohawk SC is the perfect compliment for the front of the car. A large center rib and smaller outer rib give your Short Course truck immediate steering. Both are available unmounted or pre mounted on either split six black one-piece wheels or split six red/black bead-loc wheels.
