Proton 2.2″ MC (Clay) Off-Road Buggy Rear Tires
for 1:10 Buggy
#8226-17

This is a pair of Proton 2.2” Buggy Race  Tires.  The next  generation of bar tire performance is here: the Pro-Line Proton!  Based off of the incredibly successful V1 Suburbs design, the Proton  achieves improved performance and durability on a wider range of track  surfaces.  Indoor 1/10 scale  Off-Road racing has taken off around the world but the traction conditions can  vary wildly from loose and dusty to super wheelie traction.  The V1 Suburbs performs  exceptionally well at tracks with pure clay and medium to high traction and the  Proton eclipses its predecessor by providing more forward grip and being easier  to drive.  The Proton features the same  low tread found in the V1 Suburbs but the tread is thicker front to back and is  more spaced out for improved performance on loose and low traction indoor  surfaces.  The Proton made its race debut  at Round  2 of JBRL at SDRC Raceway in San Diego under extreme  secrecy and went on to take the TQ and Win at the hands of Pro-Line’s Cody  Turner in the premier Mod Buggy class!  If  you want winning performance and scientifically proven next generation tire  technology, then reach for the new Pro-Line Protons!

Pro-Line PowairStroke Shocks

This is a pair of Pro-Line PowairStroke Shocks.  In close collaboration with some of the largest names in Supercross, Pro-Line has developed the next generation in RC Shock Technology: Pro-Line PowairStroke Shocks!  These new Air Shocks rely solely on pressurized Air to provide damping/spring effect which eliminates the need for oil and springs.
