Pro-Line 1966 Chevrolet C-10 Clear Body—3483-00

The old-school styling of the Pro-Line 1966 Chevrolet C-10 body is just killer looking. It is a great way to transform the looks of an Axial SCX10 II crawler. The 1966 Chevrolet C-10 is an officially licensed body that comes in two separate pieces: the front cab section and the rear bed. With a close look, you can see that Pro-Line took its time and carefully sculpted it with realistic undercut detail that is only made possible with Pro-Line’s new molding technology. Without that technology, the C-10 would not have all of its stunning detail. Along with the two molded body parts, a detail sticker sheet, window mask and overspray film is included. Since this body comes in two pieces, it is an ideal choice with the next cool Pro-Line product that we selected.

Pro-Line Back-Half Cage—6322-00

We love the look of an exposed rear cage on a rock crawler and it is a very cool complement to the 1966 Chevrolet C-10 body shown above. The Pro-Line Back-Half Cage is a great choice to complete this modification of the Axial SCX10 II and all you need is one of the Pro-Line two-piece crawler bodies.

The cage itself is made from extremely durable black Nylon and molded to look like a full size custom welded tube cage. If you take a close look, you will see a molded in gas tank which not only adds some nice scale detail but also serves as a spot where you can add holes for the body posts. Along with the fuel tank there is a spot to mount a spare wheel/tire and a rack to secure other scale accessories. Pro-Line includes all the metric hardware need to assemble the cage and once mated to a cab of the truck, your ride will be totally transformed.

Pro-Line Ridge-Line High-Clearance Crawler Front Bumper—6341-00

We really like the versatility of the Pro-Line Ridge-Line High-Clearance Crawler Front Bumper. Not only does it help in crawling performance, it also looks the part. You can either run this bumper with the included molded winch fairlead or you can swap it out and drop in the Pro-Line 2” Super-Bright LED Light Bar (6276-00). Additionally, this bumper comes with a separate push bar that can be installed depending on the look you are trying to achieve.

Pro-Line designed the Ridge-Line bumper to achieve the highest front bumper clearance that is possible while still maintaining a realistic look. It has a small compact design that is only 4-inches wide and features D-Ring shackles attached on either side of the winch fairlead opening. Pro-Line ensured that the bumper will bolt right onto the Ascender chassis for a no fuss installation.

Pro-Line To The Rescue With 3 Conversions For Your 4x4 — Arrma Granite 4×4

Pro-Line Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Clear Body—3357-00

Working with the Arrma Granite 4×4, we want to retain its monster truck looks and make it a bit more menacing. We selected a body that is a nice mix between the looks of a production crew cab pickup truck and a high-riding go-anywhere truck. The Pro-Line Chevy Silverado 2500 HD clear body which is a faithful reproduction that has every curve, line and detail that you know and love from the full size truck. It offers a perfect fit for the Arrma Granite 4×4 and is made with .060 crystal clear polycarbonate so whatever paint scheme you decide on will look pristine. Included with the body are window masks, overspray film and a decal sheet that will help bring out the trucks realism.

Pro-Line Overland Scale Roof Rack—6278-00

Similar to the Ridge-Line bumper that we selected for the SCX10 II, the Pro-Line Overland Scale Roof Rack offers some nice adaptability. First off, you can obviously use the roof rack to add scale accessories to your rig and it is designed so that you can mount Pro-Line’s 6276-00 2” LED Light Bar and 6276-01 4” LED Light Bars. Durable black Nylon material was used to mold the two-piece tubular roof rack and it includes hemispherical roof rack mounts. These mounts make it possible to mount the rack on roofs that are not perfectly flat or onto a cage. You will also notice that the rack is equipped with numerous openings covering the bottom of the rack so that you can attach ties and straps to secure your scale accessories.

With the Overland Roof Rack you have the option to purchase the Pro-Line 2” (6276-00) and/or the 4” (6276-01) LED Light Bar which will mount directly onto the rack. Mounts are included for each of the LED light bars so that the 4” bar can be attached at the front of the rack which will illuminate the ground ahead of your rig and the 2” light bar is mounted at the rear of the rack with the light facing rearward.

Pro-Line PowerStroke Shocks (F/R)—6063-00/6063-01

With an appearance change satisfied for the Arrma Granite, we decided to give a performance tweak on the chassis. Here is a pair of Pro-Line’s Front PowerStroke Shocks and Rear PowerStroke Shocks. They feature aluminum shock body and cap and beefy 3.5mm shafts which will help smooth out rough terrain and improve the trucks handling. If you want to fine tune your shocks, Pro-Line offers optional front (#6063-03) and rear (#6063-01) spring assortments. Whether you are looking for the best set up for your local track or bashing around your back yard, these Pro-Line PowerStroke Shocks will assure you have the best performance and a great time!

Pro-Line 1946 Dodge Power Wagon—3499-00

For the last conversion, we are focusing on the Element Enduro trucks. We love scale looks and at the top of our upgrade list is the great-looking Pro-Line 1946 Dodge Power Wagon body that is incredibly well detailed with killer old school styling. It is modeled after the first generation Power Wagon complete with its iconic front end. Including the huge flat panel style fender flares, large round headlight buckets and aggressive looking flat front grill. (The round headlight buckets allow you to install LED’s.)

Other details include textured rocker panels with realistic undercuts. Pro-Line designed the Power Wagon body in two pieces—one for the cab and one for the bed. This allows you to build the Power Wagon as a complete truck or leave off the bed so you can install a custom bed. This body will make your Element Enduro trail truck stand out from all the others.

Pro-Line 4″ LED Light Bar Kit—6276-01

If you decide to add lights to the Element Enduro and you are getting yourself the Pro-Line Dodge Power Wagon body, this Pro-Line 4” LED Light Bar Kit will nicely fit on the roof. Keep in mind that you can also add LED lights to the light buckets on the Power Wagon body as well. If you are sticking with a stock body, this light bar or one of the other size light bars from Pro-Line will fit.

The Pro-Line 4” LED Light bar comes with 20 LED light bulbs pre-wired with a 12-inch long wire that can be plugged directly into the receiver for power. Since the lights are rated for 6V to 12V power, you can also plug them directly into a 3S LiPo power source to make the LED’s super bright. You don’t have to worry about durability because the housing of the light bar is constructed of tough black nylon. Included with the Light Bar are the mounts and hardware you need to install it onto your Enduro.

Pro-Line Interco Bogger 1.9” G8 Rock Terrain Tires Mounted — #10133-10

Element spec’d some decent tires for the Element Enduro trucks, yet they don’t quite fit the bill for a scale looking trail truck. Instead try the Pro-Line Interco Bogger 1.9” G8 Rock Terrain Tires that can give this rig perfect scale detail. These are essentially mud bogging tires, however the directional tread pattern with patented Interco TSL (three stage lug) design are just too cool looking. These tires come pre-mounted on Pro-Line Impulse black plastic 1.9” wheels. It has a three piece wheel design that bolts together in the back and locks on to the Interco Bogger tires via 6 screws. The aggressive tough looks of these tires make a perfect addition and completes the conversion of the Element Enduro trail truck.
