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!!

Pro-Line is back baby! The 26th Annual Pro-Line Cactus Classic will take place on March 23-25 with the World Famous Scotty Ernst announcing the race!

Kyle McBride Wins Meakin Masters

Scott (Kyle’s Dad) sent in this race report from Kyle’s awesome weekend:

Kyle dominates the 2012 Meakin Masters!!

Kyle has now won this event 4 years in a row!!

The annual Meakin Masters which is held at the Meakin Track (The Brick Yard) in Kingston, Queensland, Australia.

Kyle hit the track for the first time on Saturday hard with his Kyosho TKI2, setting the T.Q pace for the first round.

The track was quite slick for the first run, so tire choice was critical, using the Pro-Line Bow Ties M3 for the first run set the time of 16 laps 10 min 15 seconds.

The second qualifier Kyle sets another T.Q going 4 seconds faster than the 1st qualifier!!

The second qualifier the track was starting to pack down nicely, so we decided to run the Pro-Line Sniper!!

The third qualifier Kyle equals his T.Q time setting another 16 lap 10 min 11 seconds.

Heading into the Amain the track was extremely hard packed, but polished smooth like wax, so we decided to run M4 Calibers

The start of the Amain Kyle pushed hard to break the pack, setting into a comfortable lead with his Kyosho TKI2!!

Kyle’s Kyosho was dialed!!

Kyle led from start to finish lapping the field twice and setting the fastest lap of the final!!

Another great win for Kyle and Pro-Line!!

Cheers,
Scott McBride

Congratulations Kyle on a great Victory!

This past weekend Pro-Line opened its legendary test track in Banning, CA to the local Short Course crowd for some fun, food and the opportunity to meet the a few of the top RC drivers in the World.  Over 100 different SC trucks made there way around the freshly prepared test track and everyone left the event full of tacos and pizza, a custom event T-Shirt, a bag of swag, tons of track time and a pair of M4 Blockade SC tires!

In anticipation of the event the Pro-Line track crew created a Short Course specific track that was fun, fast and challenging.  The track featured a long straightaway with a tricky roller jump halfway that unsettled even the most experienced drivers, a huge bowl turn that was a blast at full throttle, a blown-out whoop section that led to a double jump, a truck swallowing roller section in the back corner and a massive stepped table top jump along the left fence line.

At the end of the day we held a SC Top Gun Battle Race between the Pros for bragging rights.  The Pro Race included newly signed Pro-Line team drivers WC Cody King and Adam Drake, along with Ty Tessmann, Rhonda Drake, Scott Hughes and Pro-Line’s own Tim Clark and Gerardo Gonzalez.  At the sound of the tone Rhonda Drake shot to the front and never looked back.  Adam Drake made a push in the middle of the race to catch his wife and battle for the lead but he kept getting the wheel from the other trucks.  At the finish line Rhonda Drake took the crown as the Pro-Line Top Gun Champion with Adam Drake finishing Second and Gerardo Gonzalez in Third (Note: the Top 3 all had 4×4 trucks while the others had 2wd trucks, LOL!).  The Pros put on a great show of skill and fender banging action and everyone enjoyed watching how fast they made it around the track.

Check out Paul and Cody King’s coverage of the Event! 

Here are a few pictures from the event.

Our friend Buddy at Papaian Enterprises took some amazing pictures as well. So be sure to check them out here. Plus he makes it possible to order the ones you like in the size you want them.

Special thank you to the Cvengros family & friends who helped out with track maintenance and turn marshaling! You guys and gals are amazing and really made the day a special treat.
