PRO 1/8 Buck Shot S3 Front/Rear Buggy Tires Mounted 17mm White ( G-PRO9062-233

Overview

The Pro-Line 1/8 Buck Shot S3 Front/Rear Buggy Tyres Mounted 17mm White represent a championship-winning solution for serious RC buggy racers and enthusiasts across the UK. These pre-mounted tyres come ready to install on your 1/8 scale RC buggy, eliminating the need for separate tyre mounting and balancing. Already proven as a National Championship winner, the Buck Shot S3 has earned its reputation through consistent performance on the track, with Pro-Line Team Driver Ty Tessmann securing victories at the 2017 ROAR National Championships. Whether you're a competitive racer seeking that edge in performance or a weekend basher looking for quality tyres that deliver reliability, the Buck Shot S3 stands as the choice for serious RC car enthusiasts in the UK who demand nothing but the best.

What makes the Buck Shot S3 particularly special is its unique engineering that bridges the gap between the popular Hole Shot design and advanced racing technology. The tyres feature pins that are stacked closer together side-to-side than comparable options, delivering significantly longer-lasting performance without sacrificing the initial grip and traction that make them so responsive. This is genuine race-proven equipment that has already made its mark on the competitive RC buggy scene, and now you can benefit from that same championship-level performance in your own setup. The combination of advanced S-Compound technology and intelligent tread design makes these tyres suitable for a wide range of track conditions, from loose surfaces to high-bite layouts.

The pre-mounted configuration on white Velocity 17mm offset wheels means you can get straight to racing without the hassle of separate purchases or installation. Pro-Line's philosophy of "Racing to Bring You the Best" is evident in every aspect of the Buck Shot S3's design and performance characteristics.

Key Features

• Championship-Proven Design — These tyres debuted at the 2017 ROAR National Championships and have already secured victories, meaning you're investing in equipment that has proven itself under the most demanding racing conditions available to RC enthusiasts in the UK.
• Densely Stacked Pin Configuration — The Buck Shot features pins similar in size to the renowned Hole Shot 2.0, but stacked closer together side-to-side, which means dramatically extended tyre life compared to alternatives without any compromise in initial traction and grip characteristics.
• Alternating Elongated Bar Tread Design — The unique forward-facing tread pattern delivers incredible forward traction and acceleration, giving you the confidence to push harder into corners and straights whilst maintaining consistent bite throughout the tyre's lifespan.
• Directional Tread Technology (Switchable) — These are true directional tyres with different tread patterns on the inside and outside edges, allowing you to flip the tyres to suit your specific track conditions—pins out for loose or low-traction surfaces where you need added side grip and improved steering, or blade out when racing on high-bite or edgy conditions where you want reduced side traction for more predictable handling.
• S-Compound Technology — The advanced rubber compound provides improved wear resistance and superior traction characteristics, meaning your investment in these tyres lasts longer and performs better throughout its service life, making them excellent value for committed racers.
• High-Density Reusable Closed Cell Inserts Included — These closed cell foam inserts are specifically designed for the Buck Shot and provide consistent tyre support and durability, allowing you to adjust compliance to match your suspension setup and track surface conditions.
• Pre-Mounted on White Velocity Wheels — The tyres arrive mounted on genuine Pro-Line Velocity 17mm offset wheels, eliminating the need for separate tyre mounting equipment and saving you time and money while ensuring perfect balance and fitment from day one.
• Velocity Wheel Engineering — The white Velocity wheels provide greater stability and improved connectivity with the track surface, constructed from strong and durable nylon material that withstands the stresses of competitive racing and offers reliable performance lap after lap.
• Professional Grade Racing Equipment — This is equipment designed and endorsed by professional RC racing teams, meaning you're using the same technology and approach favoured by the top competitors in the sport.

Technical Performance

The Pro-Line Buck Shot S3 represents a significant engineering achievement in 1/8 scale RC buggy tyre design. The tyre construction utilises Pro-Line's proven S-Compound rubber technology, which has been refined through extensive racing experience to deliver the optimal balance between grip, durability and predictability. The pin design borrows heavily from the successful Hole Shot lineage but improves upon it with a closer side-to-side stacking pattern that extends tyre life considerably—a crucial factor for competitive racers who need consistent performance across multiple heats and races without frequent tyre changes. The alternating elongated bars running forward across the tread provide exceptional forward traction, allowing the tyre to bite into the track surface with confidence during acceleration phases. The directional nature of these tyres—with standard pins on one side and connected blade tread on the other—gives racers genuine flexibility to optimise their setup without needing multiple tyre options. The high-density reusable closed cell inserts are constructed from advanced foam that maintains its structural integrity through hundreds of runs, providing consistent support and allowing fine-tuning of tyre compliance to match suspension geometry and track hardness. The Velocity 17mm offset wheels are manufactured from durable nylon material engineered to provide the strength needed for competitive racing whilst maintaining the light weight essential in 1/8 scale racing. The overall package delivers the kind of refined, predictable performance that comes only from equipment that has been developed and proven in genuine competitive racing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are the Buck Shot S3 tyres suitable for my 1/8 scale RC buggy? — Yes, the Buck Shot S3 is specifically designed for 1/8 scale off-road buggies and comes pre-mounted on standard 17mm offset wheels that are compatible with most modern 1/8 buggy platforms including popular models from brands like Losi, HB Racing and Team Associated.
• How do the Buck Shot S3 tyres compare to other Pro-Line options like the Hole Shot? — Whilst the Buck Shot S3 borrows the pin concept from the Hole Shot 2.0, the Buck Shot improves durability by stacking pins closer together side-to-side, meaning you get significantly longer tyre life without sacrificing initial grip and traction. The Buck Shot also adds unique alternating elongated bars for superior forward traction, making it a more versatile option for varied track conditions.
• Can I flip these tyres to change their characteristics? — Absolutely, and this is one of the key advantages of the Buck Shot S3. These are directional tyres with different tread on each side. Mount them with pins facing out for loose or low-traction conditions where you want extra side grip and improved steering response, or flip them with the blade side out when racing on high-bite or edgy surfaces where you need reduced side traction for more predictable handling.
• What does the S-Compound technology mean? — The S-Compound refers to Pro-Line's advanced rubber formulation that provides improved wear resistance and superior traction characteristics compared to standard tyre compounds. This means your Buck Shot S3 tyres last longer and maintain consistent grip levels throughout their service life, delivering better value and more reliable performance in competitive racing.
• Are these ready to run straight from the box? — Yes, the Buck Shot S3 tyres arrive pre-mounted on 17mm white Velocity wheels with the closed cell foam inserts already installed, so you can simply install them on your 1/8 buggy and start racing immediately without needing separate tyre mounting equipment or preparation.
• What are the closed cell foam inserts and can I adjust them? — The included high-density reusable closed cell inserts provide structural support for the tyre and help maintain consistent performance. Whilst they come pre-installed, some racers experiment with alternative foam densities to fine-tune tyre compliance, though the included inserts are designed to work optimally with the Buck Shot S3 tyre construction across most track conditions.
• Are the Velocity wheels sold separately? — Yes, the wheels are also sold separately if you need additional sets or wish to purchase just the tyres, offering flexibility for racers who may want to experiment with different wheel configurations.
• How long do Buck Shot S3 tyres typically last? — Due to the densely stacked pin configuration and advanced S-Compound rubber, the Buck Shot S3 provides significantly longer tyre life compared to alternatives, though exact lifespan depends on track conditions, driving style and maintenance. Competitive racers report consistent performance across numerous heats before needing replacement.
• Are these suitable for beginners? — Whilst the Buck Shot S3 is championship-proven equipment suitable for competitive racing, the pre-mounted configuration makes installation straightforward for any RC buggy enthusiast. However, these are premium racing tyres priced accordingly, so beginners might consider starting with entry-level options before investing in competition-grade equipment.
