Pro-Spec Scaler Shocks—#PRO631601

Gaining performance with your new car or truck is not just about adding more power with a faster motor or gearing change. Dialing in the suspension with high-quality shocks can change how your vehicle handles the surface it is running on for the better which therefore leads to a faster car or truck. Pro-Line offers a good variety of shocks for many types of vehicles and even different types of shocks.

Shown here are the Pro-Spec Scaler Shocks designed for rock crawlers. They are sold in pairs and come out of the box almost fully assembled with all you need to do is add the shock oil of your choice and install them onto the chassis. The shocks are made up of CNC machined aluminum shock caps, collars, bodies, and bottom caps. Notice that the caps collars and bottom caps have a great-looking blue anodized finish while the bodies are anodized a bright chrome color. In order to make the shocks operate as smoothly as possible with low friction and no leaks, Pro-Line manufactured the Pro-Spec shocks with exacting tolerances and utilized hard chrome coated steel shock shafts and X-Ring seals. Rounding out this shock package are realistic looking and performing dual rate springs.

6” Super-Bright LED Light Bar Kit—#PRO627602

Realistic scale vehicles are incredibly popular and the Pro-Line Super-Bright LED Light Bar Kits not only add scale realism to a vehicle, but also function. Pro-Line offers five different LED Light Bar Kits including a 2-inch (#PRO627600), a 4-inch (#PRO627601), a 5-inch (#PRO627603), a 6-inch (#627602) shown here and a 1/5 Double Row 6-inch light bar kit. Each kit is equipped with real, working LED lights. The LED Light bulbs are pre-wired with a 12-inch long cable that can plug directly into your receiver for power. The Lights are rated for 6V to 12V power, so you have the option to plug directly into a 3S LiPo power source for Super-Bright LED Light. The LED Lights are housed in a durable Black Nylon housing branded with a P-L logo. Mounts and hardware are included so that you can do a custom install on your Rock Crawler, Rock Racer, 1/8 monster truck, 1/10 monster truck or even a 1/5-scale vehicle.

PRO-Series 32P Transmission—#PRO635000

Out of all of the Pro-Line products mentioned here, the Pro-Line PRO-Series 32P Transmission is the one that requires the most effort to install yet you will be rewarded with awesome performance. It fits the Traxxas Slash 2WD, Stampede 2WD, Rustler 2WD and Bandit. This tranny is actually an updated version of the original Pro-Line transmission. The engineers at Pro-Line made this one stronger and even more capable so that it can handle the extreme motor systems that are currently available. At the same time, they made sure to carry over all the elements of the previous tranny that made it so well-loved. As an added benefit, the Pro-Line PRO-Series 32P transmission comes pre-built to make the install easier.

Inside of the PRO-Series 32P transmission is a sealed differential that comes pre-filled with grease. If you need to change the type of oil used, it can be swapped with optional diff oil so that you can tune the transmission to your specific application. Along with tuning the diff, you can also tune the racing-style slipper system via an adjusting nut.

One of the big changes on the PRO-Series 32P tranny is the switch to a 32P 56-tooth spur gear which will help make stripped spur gears a thing of the past. You have the option of picking a 32P pinion gear between 10- and 18-tooth pinion gears for normal 540 sized motors. Diving further into the transmission housing, you will find all hardened steel internal gears. It is another welcome feature that will give you the peace of mind that the tranny will be handle serious power. Each of the gears spin on high quality ball bearings including the differential that is supported by huge 10x16x5 bearings for outstanding load capability.

Pro-Line engineers did not stop with upgrading just the inside of the transmission and made sure they examined the design of the case. Now the case is built to be stronger to handle more abuse and the aluminum motor mount is attached to the case with three screws. The motor plate is new with blue anodizing, a laser-etched PL logo and at 3mm thick it acts as a giant motor heat sink to help keep temps in check. At the rear is a solid bumper with mounting holes that are in the same locations as the stock Traxxas ones so that you have near endless bumper and wheelie bar attachment options.

1/8 Trifecta Rear Buggy/Truggy Wing—#PRO624903

Obviously aerodynamics are critical when racing whether it be an 1/10-scale touring car or a 1/8-scale off-road buggy.

The molded plastic Trifecta features a bi-level design with multiple center fins to create some serious stability. Underneath the main plate of the wing are three dimples that hang down on each side which will increase low speed downforce and they will reduce drag at high speeds. There are also two optional wickerbills that come with the Trifecta to give you some extra tunability and Pro-Line includes the mounting hardware. Finally, the wing has an aggressive, futuristic design that nicely pairs with the current style of today’s vehicles and can be detailed with the decals that come with the wing.
