NEW X Compound

Background
Pro-Line strives to stay on the leading edge of race tire technology and the 2012 1:8 Nitro Off-Road World Championships in Argentina provided the opportunity to prove that once again. The “Speed Paradise” track in Argentina is a challenging European-Style (High-Speed, abrasive and bumpy) track that tests the limits of rubber technology requiring a new approach to rubber compounds beyond the normal M-Series of compounds that Pro-Line is known for.

Enter the X Compound
Pro-Line’s field of World Championship level drivers spent months at the track testing and working with Pro-Line engineers to develop an all-new line of Race Tire Compounds specifically suited to High-Speed European-Style tracks. The improved mechanical properties of the X Compound provides unmatched stability and traction at high-speed while also enhancing the wear characteristics of the Tires. Similar to Pro-Line’s M-Series compounds, the new X Compound is available in a couple hardness levels to suit your current track conditions: X2 (Medium) and X3 (Soft).

Compound applications for 1:8th racing

    Indoor Clay Surfaces = MC compound
    •     Minimal tread flex for unmatched mechanical grip on clay
    •     Minimal carcass flex while cornering
    •     Low wear on clay surfaces

    Super Cross style low speed moist-slick surfaces = M Compounds
    •     Maximum compound grip on low bite surfaces
    •     Compliant carcass produces traction with controlled expansion
    •     Medium wear

    European style high speed and high-G Surfaces = X Compounds
    •     Low flex compound controls tread flex while producing good grip
    •     Low flex carcass will remain stable during high speed cornering
    •     Low wear in both high bite and high temp surfaces
