Twin I-Beam 2WD Pre-Runner Suspension Conversion Kit

Transform your Axial® SCX10™ I/II into a 2WD Desert Truck with Pro-Line’s Twin I-Beam Pre-Runner Suspension Kit! In the early days of offroad desert racing, I-Beam trucks became the standard suspension setup due to their uncompromised durability, easily attained long-travel and overall simplicity. Now, you can capture that desert racing spirit using your SCX10™ I/II kit as a base to build a 1/10 scale pre-runner.

The Twin I-Beam front suspension consists of two long “I-beam” arms that cross one another in an X-pattern. These arms control the lateral forces applied to the wheels, while radius arms reach backward toward the center skid plate to stabilize each wheel in the fore-aft direction. This super-scale conversion kit utilizes the same geometry setup as 1:1 trucks with true swingset steering and center-mount radius arms to optimize handling throughout the entire suspension travel.

Valkyrie Off-Road 1:8 Buggy Tires

Introducing the Valkyrie 1/8 Buggy race tire, an evolution of our popular Slide Lock tire engineered for hard-packed, blue-groove, high-grip tracks.

The innovative tread pattern features strategically placed diagonal rows of lugs that meet up to form an optimized center lug pod. This arrangement has lightened the tire significantly while still maintaining great balance, forward traction, wear characteristics, and bump-handling stability. On the edge of the sidewall, directional tread lets you tune the Valkyrie to your specific track condition for added versatility.

Valkyrie is constructed on Pro-Line’s latest generation carcass profile that utilizes a single arc to create the sidewall geometry, then transitions from the sidewall to the crown with a larger radius resulting in a rounder and less edgy appearance. This carcass provides a tailored fit to the wheel and insert package, making mounting a breeze. Racers can expect the Pro-Line Valkyrie tires to deliver improved consistency, drivability, and durability.

The Valkyrie is available in three popular compounds (M3 for watered tracks, S3 & S5 long wear for more abrasive dry tracks) and includes our latest generation closed cell foam insert.
