These are the new Proton 2.2” buggy tyres from Pro-Line that are based on successful V1 Suburbs design. The new Proton is designed to perform and be durable on a wider range of track surfaces. Indoor 1:10 scale off-road racing has taken off around the world but the traction conditions can vary wildly from loose and dusty to super wheelie traction. The V1 Suburbs perform exceptionally well at tracks with pure clay and medium to high traction and the Proton eclipses its predecessor by providing more forward grip and being easier to drive. The Proton features the same low tread found in the V1 Suburbs but the tread is thicker front to back and is more spaced out for improved performance on loose and low traction indoor surfaces. The Proton made its race debut at round two of JBRL at SDRC Raceway in San Diego under extreme secrecy and went on to take the TQ and win at the hands of Pro-Line’s Cody Turner in the premier mod buggy class.
