I hope I don’t get in trouble for spilling the beans but I caught the guys in RD swarming around and decided to take a look at what was going on. As it turns they were assembling some final production pieces for the new ProTrac kit for the Slash 4X4.

Asked a few questions and here are a couple quick details that I was able to dig up..

The kit will consist of new suspension arms and turnbuckles to widen the geometry of the truck for smoother handling.

The arms have multiple mounting locations for suspension tuning.

Wheels (which will most likely be included) will be the popular ProTrac negative offset matching other popular SC trucks such as SC10 and Losi.

The team is really excited as the Prototype truck has performed very well in testing at a variety of tracks.

 Look for more to come very soon!!

My servo winch is mounted under the rear because the battery has been relocated under the hood of the Wraith. The winch line runs through a bicycle cable housing to my homemade fairlead in the front. To add a true since of scale to the Wraith, I installed some of Pro-Line’s new scale accessories (Coming Soon): duel optima batteries, inverter & fire extinguisher (note green & red dial).

“This years Winter Slam was located in Helena, Alabama at the indoor track “The Warehouse”. This track was quite tricky with sub 15 second lap times and 8 car mains, passing was a true challenge. In addition to the tight lanes and quick lap times the track was very slippery Dark Red Clay. Typically the red clay outdoors is extremely abrasive, but when sunlight isn’t present it makes for a moist slippery surface. When I look to indoor or slippery conditions I find the M4 buggy tires work really well. In truggy with 4 times the tire patch and the fact that truggies need more steering than traction, the M3 Holeshots can be used with great success. I can endorse racers to give my tire combinations a try indoors on moist red clay.”

Billy Easton‘s tires used indoors at the Alabama Winter Slam were:

Truggy: VTR Holeshots m3

Buggy: Holeshot M4

The 2012 CRCRC Midwest Champs is over and the dust has settled. What a great event with 35 heats if RC racing action. Pro-Line’s Ryan Cavalieri went in to podium all 4 events he entered and TQ 2wd and Mod Truck.

In the end Ryan would win the first two mains in truck securing the overall win. In 4wd bad luck came into play but Ryan still managed a podium finish. The mod truck main saw a bundle of drivers using Pro-Line’s Suburbs tires in Mc compound (8205-17) in fact, several factory drivers were spotted with Pro-Line MC rubber on their rides proving this was the tire of choice.

Congrats to all the winners! 

We look forward to next year!
