As it turns they were assembling some final production pieces for the new ProTrac kit for the Slash 4X4.

PT1 PT2 PT3 PT5 PT7 PT8

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!!

While it’s not quite a “BullDog” we think it will be quite a good body in the tec-nical part of the track. It should keep you flo-ing through the woop section with the greatest of ease.

The tires are something we are especially excited about because they have direct driver feedback incorporated into the details. While it’s too soon to say what driver and what details.. We can show you this..
