Sneak Peak

Came across this e-mail from Brian Kinwald to Tim Clark, head of our Development Team and thought you might enjoy a little sneak peak at the new 2.2″ 1:10 Buggy Caliber rears, available next month and yes we are working on a 4WD front version, should be ready by April.

 CaliberTruck-Buggy

Brian has just got done testing the new Caliber 2.2″ Truck tire on his electric 1:10 Truck.  Here’s what he says:  “The Calibers were really dialed…. definitely gunna be a great tire… at a lot of tracks… I think they will become your best seller eventually…once they’re popular…. most club tracks cater to a tire like that and they will last long …. So I think the average guy is gunna love em…” Brian Kinwald, The Dirtinator, Team Pro-Line.

Have a great day! Todd

Happy Thanksgiving!

 I know it’s a little late but mom always said, “Better late then never.”

We have a great group of people at Pro-Line and I am proud to be a part of the team. This year we decided to do a can food drive for local families at Thanksgiving and the pictures and article are the summary of our efforts…

The Baskets ready to giveaway at HELP, INC., 100 baskets were distributed by HELP and 72 distributed by other organizations in Banning and Beaumont. Great work to all Pro-Line Teammates that made this possible!

In the end we were able to make and giveaway 172 Thanksgiving baskets! Amazing efforts and joy went into this project. To me this project is a great reminder of other families in need at the holiday season and it’s never to late or to small to give and help others.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Much to be thankful for, Todd

Hole Shot 2.0 President's Sneak Peak

Hey 1/10 Buggy fans, I am sneaking this new Hole Shot 2.0 from my desk.  More info to come 16th – Todd Mattson

Just recovering from a day at the 2009 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Here are a few highlights.

 Got to meet Dennis Anderson the driver of Grave Digger. Really cool guy, told me all about his home RC Track and huge R/C monster truck race he puts on at his track called “Digger’s Dungeon”. He told me he owns some Pro-Line monster truck goods and wishes our stuff would fit on Grave Digger (the last parts not really true) but if we made it he would probably have to run it.

Traxxas had a complete stand at SEMA with all the kits on display, plus last weekends winning truck driver Mike Jenkins (not included) but here I caught Peter Vieira, Traxxas Marketing Manager was there catching up with Pro-Line’s Tim Clark, our Development Director. Peter’s explaining how Traxxas came up with the T-MAXX.
