Every month, Pro-Line Racing introduces a bunch of new products - and two of them are being used at this weekend's ROAR Electric Off-Road Nationals with great success. Particularly, team driver Dakotah Phend is using the 2.2-inch Electron Lite rear tires in MC compound and new front wing and aluminum wing mount on his 22 3.0 - and currently sits first in points after the first two rounds of qualifying.

The Electron Lite is an evolution of the successful Electron tire, with its intersecting bars whose voids are occupied by small pins. The Lite version, being used here in MC compound (#8255-17), has a smaller carcass and shorter pins - making it even better suited for indoor tracks with minimal dust.

Pro-Line Racing released 3D-printed front wing mounts for a variety of popular 2WD buggy platforms and followed up with aluminum versions like that used on Dakotah's 22 3.0 this weekend. In addition to increased strength, the aluminum mount is 4 grams heavier - which changes the car's balance.
