Pro-Line PRO-2 SC Custom Setup From Buddy Blacksmith

First off I want to thank everyone at Pro-Line for the support that we all receive with your exceptional products!

I did the PRO-2 Short Course Truck build Nick Blais style and it ran great! The truck just had a little jumping out on acceleration that needed curbed. So I went researching what was working out in the RC world.

This is what I came up with for this Awesome Short Course Truck:

• I changed out the front shock tower with a Anza carbon fiber unit with -5 deg Anza front hubs reducing the kick.

• Replaced the top plate with a Anza carbon fiber unit eliminating flex.

• R&R the transmission with a FLM aluminum and a Traxxas steel gear diff, used the P-L idler with an STRC top shaft that will accept TLR and AE clutch packs and spurs.  Tossed in a set of ceramic bearings for performance and an RPM gear cover for a cool look.

• Changed the rear toe block arm mount to billet 4 deg. (made the wheel base 327mm & 7 deg to toe)

• I also changed out the back shock tower with a combination of carbon fiber and aluminum from Anza. Then added 2 deg rear hubs with 5×12 bearings mounted in reverse. (made the wheelbase 328mm & 5 deg of toe)

• Front Wheels are +3mm, Rear wheels are ProTrac Offset. Custom battery hold down. Width 292mm front and rear.

It was tested under extreme conditions for 10 hours of continuous running.
The only part that showed wear: the Out-Drives and Tires.
