Pro-Line Descender Keeping with their more realistic style of RC Rock Crawling, Pro-Line Racing has announced the Descender Body. They have a 1/10th scale version that fits the 2.2″ crawlers like the Axial Scorpion and Losi Comp Crawler. This is similar to their previous realistic Ambush release we talked about we talked about here with all the cool accessories.

Pro-Line Descender They also have a 1/18th scale crawler version seen here for those Losi 1:18 Crawler fans.
So if you are sitting in your basement wondering what to do with your winter while you wait for crawling season to return, why not start working on your realistic scale body to wow your friends!

Pro-Line Max Extended Body Posts Got a body that you are having trouble make fit? Pro-Line Racing has a new set of MAXX Extended Body Posts for all your mounting needs. They are available for the T-Maxx and E-Maxx (2.5 or 3.3 Flavors). So if you have a favorite body you were thinking just didn’t fit, think again, and check these posts out.

Pro-Line Revolver Soon to be flying off shelves, the Pro-Line Racing Revolvers! These 1:8 buggy wheels/tires are the ones used by Atsushi Hara, and if you are a trend follower, everyone will be running out to buy these. Molded foam inserts, M3 (or M2) compound, on velocity wheels, yellow or white. From a basher point of view, anything that keeps me from gluing my fingers together is a big plus!

The body is comprised of two pieces, the lexan body, and a roll cage. (part #6053-00) or your own cage.

To top it off, they have released a TON of cool scale accessories! I’ll just list them all here instead of making 20 posts.

First up is the Pro-Line Accessory Kit 1 with cooler, winch, gas can, and winch. In the second kit there is a lift jack, pry bar, shovel and axe.

You know if you get all those other accessories, you are going to have to get the roof rack! And if you are going to go that far, you might as well pick up the light bar with removable covers! Too bad they don’t light up.

As long as you are having a Pro-Line day, you might want to pick up the front frame extension kit. This is setup to allow their bumper kit to be mounted to the Axial Scorpion, and you can also use it as a place to remount your electronics to get more weight up front.

Pro-Line Desert Rat If you are looking to do that HPI 5B to 5T conversion, you are going to need these. ThePro-Line Racing Desperado Bead-Loc wheels. These wheels have a +.100 added offset to your 5B and 5T conversion to help with stability. Just add these to your Excavator tires and Desert Rat body and you are ready to roll!

Pro-Line Excavator If you are looking to convert your HPI Baja 5B to a 5T, you are going to need the Excavator tires from Pro-Line Racing. These tires are 7.25″ tall and 3.38″ wide and come with a new high density molded foam insert. These tires are meant to be used with the Desperado 5T conversion wheels. If you are looking to convert that 5B, you better pick up a couple sets.

Pro-Line Desert Rat I know a lot of people have been waiting for this! Well, it’s finally here, and it’s from Pro-Line Racing! The HPI Baja 5B to 5T Truck Conversion! The first part in the truck conversion is the Desert Rat body! The body is made from .080 lexan, with an added piece of lexan to beef up the rear mounting location for a full .160! That’s over 1/8th” thick!
To mount the body, a front and rear body mounting system is included. Worried about sore fingers from cutting something like this? Well this body comes pre-cut! Man.. my shopping list is growing!

Pro-Line Hammer Pro-Line Racing just announced that their Hammer series tires now come in G8 Compound. They come with standard or memory foam inserts, fits 2.2″ wheels, and has a sidewall tread designed to resist tire rollover. They also come in super soft M2, or ultra soft M3 compounds.

Pro-Line Shift The new SHIFT body from Pro-Line Racing is ready to cover your Jammin X2-CRT. Every month Pro-Line continues to amaze me with how fast they get these new trucks covered! It comes in the .060 lexan with a very low CG design, stickers, window masks and overspray film included.

Pro-Line Desert Rat Pro-Line Racing has just announced the new Desert Rat body for the Traxxas Slayer! It’s made from .060 lexan, and even has the side mirrors just like a full scale trophy truck! Nice!

Pro-Line Hardcore They know a good thing when they got it! Pro-Line Racing has announced another Traxxas Slash body called the Hardcore. With the Traxxas Slash being the ‘hot’ vehicle right now, I don’t blame them at all! It’s a sweet looking truck, made with .060 lexan with some nice detail work. If you are a Traxxas Slash owner, you really have it made when it comes to the body department!

Pro-Line Buggy Pro-Line Buggy Hara
The folks over at Pro-Line Racing seem very happy about the results they had at the IFMAR 1:8 Off-Road World Championships! Pro-Line’s Revolver in M3 compound was the tire of choice and 8 out of 12 drivers in the finals were running them! The top 4 spots were won with Pro-Lines not to mention Hara doing a great job with his Hot Bodies buggy! Many were also running the Pro-Line Crowd Pleazer body. Congrats to everyone at the race!
