Pro-Line June 2012 New Releases

Pro-Line releases a ton of new gear like a performance transmission that fits many popular Traxxas vehicles out on the market today. Plus they have officially released their black diamond shock shafts that we first told you about earlier this month. Check out the official press release below for all the details:

Pro-Line Performance Transmission for Slash 2WD, Electric Stampede 2WD, Electric Rustler and Bandit (with use of a 18t-19t pinion gear)

This is a Pre-Built Performance Transmission for Slash® 2WD, Electric Stampede® 2WD, Electric Rustler® and Bandit®*. The 2WD Slash® is one of the most important and successful vehicles in the History of RC because it brought affordable scale realism to the masses. Since its release, racers have been modifying and hopping up every aspect of the vehicle to improve its performance but they have always been stuck with the heavy, non-adjustable and non-racing inspired transmission… until now! After over a year of design, development and testing, Pro-Line is proud to release the Performance Transmission, which has been specifically designed to bring your Slash® up to racing specifications. Every feature you would expect to find in a high-end race transmission is now available for your Slash. This new Performance Transmission is also a great addition to your Electric Stampede® 2WD, Electric Rustler® and Bandit®*!

Pre-Assembled – Install and Go!

Transmissions are complicated and have a lot of moving parts. Pro-Line has done the work for you and pre-assembled the transmission to get you to the track faster! All you have to do is Install and Go! The Sealed, Oil-filled Differential has been pre-filled with 5,000 wt. diff oil and the slipper system has been pre-set for proper performance. Installation Instructions and Exploded Views with part #’s can be found on the Pro-Line Website under the 6092-00 Performance Transmission product page.

Sealed, Oil-Filled Gear Differential

The single biggest feature and upgrade over the stock transmission is Pro-Line’s Performance Differential. The design is based off of 1/8 Buggy style sealed differentials and is completely tunable to current track conditions by changing the weight of the diff oil. The Differential features super smooth Steel Internal Diff Gears for the ultimate in durability, and 4 O-Rings and a Diff Gasket that seals against fluid leakage. You will be amazed at how smooth the Differential is and how much it improves the performance of your vehicle.

Race Inspired Slipper System with Vented Discs

The Performance Transmission features a proven, race style slipper pad and plate system that is more consistent, lighter and runs truer than the stock slipper design. The plates are Hard Anodized Aluminum with Vent Holes, which reduces heat and improves slipper consistency. Pro-Line’s 86t Spur Gear is extra wide for durability and is not offset like the stock spur gear. No more wobbly spur gears! The Clear hard plastic Gear Cover has a removable rubber cap for easy access to adjust the tension on the slipper system. Adjustments can be made with the same 7mm tool that you use to remove wheel nuts.

Lightweight Transmission and Gears

Pro-Line’s new Performance Transmission has 20% less rotating mass and is over 20% lighter overall than the stock transmission. This allows quicker acceleration, less work for the motor and faster lap times. The bottom Diff Case Gear and Idler Gear are made out of super durable and lightweight high impact plastic, while the Top Gear is super strong Steel.

3mm Thick Aluminum Motor Plate, Full Ball Bearings, & Other Awesome Features

There are so many other awesome features that make Pro-Line’s Performance Transmission a must have. The motor mounts to 3mm thick Aluminum Motor Plate with cooling fins and a machined P-L logo, all of which acts as a huge heat sink to keep your motor running cool. High quality Ball Bearings are used throughout the Transmission and the Differential spins on huge 10mm x 16mm x 5mm Ball Bearings for incredible load capability. The Toe Block is molded separate from the Transmission Case allowing for quicker and easier access to the Transmission when tuning the Differential Oil. The separate Toe Block also opens up the possibility for different tuning blocks (Toe Angle and Anti-Squat) to be used at some point in the future… The Hardened Steel Outdrive Shafts will accept the stock axles, as well as any aftermarket CVD’s or drive shafts that you might have for your vehicle.

Pro-Line’s Performance Transmission is the ultimate upgrade for your Slash® 2WD, Electric Stampede® 2WD, Electric Rustler® or Bandit®*! No other company offers anything close to this type of performance upgrade for your Transmission, so be the first at your Track to take down the competition with your Pro-Line ProTrac, Power Stroke and Transmission upgraded Slash! Transform your vehicle into a True Racing Machine – Order your Performance Transmission Today!

*Bandit® requires use of a smaller pinion gear than what is included stock. Recommend an 18t or 19t pinion gear for most applications.

RC racers are constantly looking for the next big thing and the very best parts to put on their race cars to give them an advantage over the competition. Pro-Line’s goal is constantly push the limits of technology and bring our customers the very best with each new product. After months of Research, Development and Testing Pro-Line has produced the Best Performing and Ultimate High-End Racing Shock Shaft ever produced: Pro-Line’s Black Diamond Series for 1:10th Off-Road Racing Buggies.

Pro-Line started with the highest grade USA forged Ultra Alloy Material and then Precision Centerless Ground and machined the shafts to absolute tolerances and finish specifications using CNC machines in the USA. We then Roll Formed the threads instead of cutting in the threads for the highest strength threads possible. Pro-Line didn’t stop there and found the highest grade shaft coating known to mankind – Black Diamond DLC coating. This is the exact same coating found in Formula 1, NASCAR and Factory MX Bikes on suspension components, engine components and anything that requires virtually zero friction and ultimate durability. Diamond-Like Carbon DLC coating creates a much harder surface than standard TiNitride shaft coatings and delivers a 10 times smaller Coefficient of Friction for the smoothest shock action that has ever been achieved. Pro-Line is changing the game and delivering Next Generation Shock Shaft Technology all Made in the USA! Get yours today!
