Losi XXX-SCB Upgrades

What’s up Losi SCB fans! We have a few goodies here from Pro-Line that I installed on my buggy to make it a better performing contender on the track. In the front I installed our XXX-SCT / XXX-SCB Front Inboard Hub kit #6069-00 and the rear our 12mm Wheel Adapters #6064-05. With this setup I can run our Protrac offset wheels all around. With the suspension I went with our Power Stroke Shocks (Front) #6063-00 ( NOTE: you’ll need to grind the shock bottom ball eyelet to the width of the arm.) and Power Stroke Shocks (Rear) #6063-01. I used the PowerStroke SC Universal Shock Mounting Hardware Kit #6063-05 to get them secured to the buggy. Spring Assortment Front #6063-03 and Spring Assortment Rear #6063-04 were used to set up my suspension properly. In the front I use 35wt oil with Yellow upper springs and Blue lower springs. In the rear I use 30wt oil with Yellow upper springs and Blue lower springs. Thanks for checking it out, enjoy.

Hey there all you Short Course and Monster Truck fans, I wanted to show you one of my latest project trucks and test mule I call the“E-Revo SC-X”.  This truck was inspired by my personal desire to have something a little different as well as question’s I get asking allot about using Short Course truck body’s on Monster Truck Chassis.

This started out as a Stock Traxxas® E-Revo from which I switched to the optional Long Travel Rocker arms that come with the truck. I then swapped out the stock 14mm hex drives for the optional 17mm Hex Drives from a Summit which I purchased as new take off’s from EBay. For those of you who don’t know, EBay a great source to pick up OEM take of parts Cheap for those custom projects!

Hey guys I wanted to show you what I did with my Traxxas Stampede kit. I was able to put on the Pro-Line ProTrac suspension kit, part #6062-00 which will give the truck more stability and the Power Stroke Shocks part#6063-00 fronts, #6063-01 rears for a smoother ride. The body I picked was the Pro-Line Ford Raptor part #3348-00 . The tires on the truck are Trencher 2.8″ part #1170-00 which offer more forward bite and the wheels are our soon to be released Desperado 2.8″.

Hello fellow Monster Truck fans! Here is my Traxxas® Grave Digger with a few upgrades that we offer here at Pro-Line.

First off I added our Power Stroke shocks in the front #6063-00 and also the rear #6063-01. In order to mount up the shocks you will also need our Universal Mounting Kit #6063-05.

To be able to get some more traction out of this Monster I also added our Trencher 2.8″ tires #1170-00 all around mounted on our new soon to be released Desperado 2.8″ wheels. Thanks and enjoy.

Hey all you Traxxas Mini Fans, here’s a quick tip to help increase the tire options for your 1:16th E-Revo and Mini Summit! By Installing 1:16th Mini Summit wheels on your 1:16th E-Revo, you can open up a wide option of Pro-Line 2.2″ Truck Tire selections and increase the stability of you vehicle! The 1:16th Mini Summit wheels are based on traditional 2.2″ truck wheels and are affordable.  They come with either red, blue or yellow pre painted bead lock ring detail and are a smaller version of the full size 3.3 Revo and Summit Geode wheels!

To Get the maximum performance from you Mini, always monitor the temperature of your motor and speed controller when installing larger size tires. I always try to drop down a few pinion sizes as my tire size increases. This is especially the case for the 1:16th Mini E-Revo.  Both 1:16th Mini E-Revo and the 1:16th Mini Summit come with a 50 tooth spur gear, so most of your performance tuning can be done with pinion gears. When installing larger tires on the 1:16th Mini E-Revo, I would start with a 19T ot 23T depending on the size of the tire and adjust based on the operating temature of your motor. These pinions are priced affordably and can be purchased directly from Traxxas

 Be sure to Check out our Large selection of 1:10 2.2″ Truck tires!

We at Pro-Line Racing are committed to bringing you the best in RC performance and innovation. We hope these product tips help enhance your RC vehicles performance as well as your experience in the RC sport for years to come!
