AKA announces their release of the Enduro and Wishboone tires designed to be used on 1/10 short course trucks. Designed to be used on the stock wheels from all the popular short course trucks, these tires should be a big upgrade to your truck’s performance. Designed by Gil Losi, Jr. and Mark Pavidis, these tires feature 2.2”/3” bead design and an inner carcass design that works with AKA closed cell foams. AKA claims this results in a much more controlled outer sidewall that is more consistent in handling and tread wear. The AKA ENDURO tread pattern is an all-around good tire for just about any surface condition. The WISHBONE is suited to the high bite blue grooved clay tracks or indoor clay tracks.
Proline’s new releases for Mid March are the Ford F-150 Clear Body for the Slash 2WD/4×4 and SC10 (with trimming), the Desert Rat 2.0 Clear Body for 1:16 Slash and a Undertray for the Slash 4×4.
