Interco TSL SX Super Swamper XL 2.2″
G8 Rock Terrain Truck Tires
for Front or Rear 2.2″ Crawler
#10107-14

Pro-Line is proud to announce the 2.2” TSL SX Super Swamper XL in the legendary G8 compound. With “almost scale” not being acceptable and access to Interco’s design data, Pro-Line’s engineering staff has reproduced the Super Swamper in a scale configuration matched by none. The new 2.2” XL is perfect for scale crawlers that want maximum ground clearance and unmatched rock crawling performance.

Compared to the original Interco 2.2” Swamper tire (5.4″ in Height and 2.05 in Width), this new XL version is larger in diameter giving you the height you need to tackle any obstacles. It’s also wider than the best-selling original which gives you the optimum in handling, durability and longevity. The Super Swamper XL is a great All-Terrain tire that can handle dirt, gravel, mud, rocks and even the street – all while looking good doing it.

The XL 2.2” Super Swamper (5.8″ in height and 2.25″ in Width) is the new must have Rock Crawling tire! Get yours today!

Fugitive 1:8 Off-Road Buggy Tires
for 1:8 Buggy Front or Rear
9052-002 X2 (Medium)
9052-003 X3 (Soft)
9052-004 X4 (Super Soft)

This is a pair of Fugitive 1:8 Buggy Race Tires. Pro-Line is putting the competition on the Run with the all-new Fugitive race tire! The Fugitive was developed to be the longest lasting race tire ever produced while still being quick and agile. In the past, the prevailing knowledge for creating a new tire that lasted throughout the long A-Mains in extreme wear conditions was to design a big and tall tire tread that was spaced out. While this was effective for the day, the tall and stiff tread numbed out the handling and didn’t have the speed of the smaller pin race tires.

Pro-Line’s all-new Fugitive tires set the standard for wear and performance with a whole new design philosophy – small, tightly packed pins that can handle the abuse of being run on concrete. When combined with Pro-Line’s incredible X-Compounds, the Fugitive easily has the best performance to cost ratio of any Pro-Line tire making it perfect for many European style tracks.

Be the first one outrunning the competition with the Fugitive!
