Overview
This is a pair of pre-mounted Buck Shot 1:8 Buggy Race Tires. The Buck Shot debuted at the 2017 ROAR National Championships and is already a Winner at the hands Pro-Line Team Driver Ty Tessmann! The Buck Shot has pins that are very close in size to the amazing Hole Shot 2.0 but the Buck Shot pins are stacked closer together side to side, which provides significantly longer-lasting performance. Unique to the Buck Shot are the alternating elongated bars that provide incredible forward grip! Similar to the extremely popular SwitchBlade tire, the Buck Shot is a directional tire with a different tread on the outside compared to the inside, allowing you to mount the tires in the direction that suits your current track conditions. One side of the tire has standard pins, which is ideal for loose or low traction conditions where you want the tire to add side grip and improve steering. When you mount the tire in the other direction, the connected side tread (Blade) reduces side traction in high-bite or edgy conditions. Racers who have tried the Buck Shot are saying that it is their new favorite tire!
Pro-Line is making it easier than ever to use the Buck Shot S-Material tires on your 1:8 Buggy by offering them pre-mounted on White Velocity wheels!
Pro-Line lives and breathes the philosophy of Racing to Bring You the Best and that is exactly what the Velocity 1:8 Buggy wheel represents.

Key Features
- National Championship Proven Performance — The Buck Shot M3 tyres earned their credentials by winning at the 2017 ROAR National Championships, providing buyers with confidence that they are choosing tyres used and trusted by professional RC racing drivers at the highest competitive levels.
- Stacked Pin Design for Extended Durability — Whilst the pin size is comparable to the renowned Hole Shot 2.0 tyres, the Buck Shot pins are stacked significantly closer together side to side, delivering substantially longer-lasting performance without sacrificing the initial grip characteristics that made the Hole Shot famous.
- Massive Forward Traction with Elongated Bars — The unique alternating elongated bars in the tread pattern provide incredible forward grip and acceleration characteristics, giving racers a competitive advantage in straightline speed and forward bite situations.
- Directional Tread Technology with Dual-Mount Capability — Similar to the popular SwitchBlade design, the Buck Shot features directional tread with different surfaces on the outside versus the inside of the tyre, allowing racers to mount the tyres in the optimal direction for their current track conditions without requiring different tyre compounds.
- Pins-Out Configuration for Loose Track Conditions — When mounted with the standard pins facing outward, the Buck Shot delivers added side grip and improved steering response, making this configuration ideal for loose or low-traction track surfaces where extra edge grip is beneficial.
- Blade-Out Configuration for High-Bite Conditions — Flipping the tyres to mount with the connected side tread (Blade) facing outward reduces side traction in high-bite or edgy conditions, preventing unwanted tyre roll and maintaining stability on grippy, hard-packed surfaces.
- Improved S-Compound Technology — The Buck Shot M3 utilises Pro-Line's enhanced S-Compound rubber formula, delivering improved wear characteristics and traction performance compared to previous compound iterations, ensuring consistent grip throughout extended racing sessions.
- High Density Reusable Closed Cell Inserts Included — Each pair of Buck Shot M3 tyres comes equipped with high-density, closed-cell foam inserts that are reusable and designed to maintain tyre shape and performance, reducing the need for frequent insert replacement and saving money over time.
- Pre-Mounted on Velocity White Wheels — The tyres arrive pre-mounted on Pro-Line's Velocity White wheels with 17mm hexagon connectors, eliminating the need to purchase wheels separately and allowing immediate installation onto any compatible 1/8 scale RC buggy.
- Greater Stability and Connectivity — The Velocity wheels featured with this package provide greater overall stability and reliable wheel-to-hub connectivity, ensuring that your tyre setup remains secure and responsive during aggressive racing manoeuvres.
- Durable Nylon Wheel Construction — The Velocity wheels are constructed from strong and durable nylon material that resists impact damage and maintains structural integrity through repeated use, providing excellent value and longevity.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Buck Shot M3 1/8 buggy tyres represent the pinnacle of modern RC tyre engineering, combining advanced materials science with proven racing experience. The S-Compound rubber formula has been specifically developed to deliver an optimal balance between grip and durability, ensuring that your tyres maintain consistent performance throughout an entire race day or practice session without premature wear. The directional tread design with pins and blade sides allows competitive racers to adapt their tyre mounting to match track conditions, meaning a single set of tyres can be optimised for loose, medium or high-bite surfaces simply by reversing the mounting direction. The high-density closed-cell foam inserts included with every package maintain tyre shape under load and provide consistent performance characteristics, whilst remaining reusable so they can be swapped between different tyre sets. The Velocity White wheels utilise 17mm hexagon fittings, making them compatible with a wide range of 1/8 scale RC buggies currently available in the UK market. The strong nylon construction of the wheels provides excellent durability for both indoor carpet racing and outdoor off-road track conditions. The overall engineering philosophy behind the Buck Shot M3 reflects Pro-Line's commitment to delivering competition-grade performance to RC racing enthusiasts at all levels, from casual weekend bashers to serious national championship competitors.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are Buck Shot M3 tyres suitable for both front and rear of my 1/8 scale buggy? — Yes, this package contains front and rear buggy tyres, meaning you can use them in either position on your RC buggy. The Buck Shot M3 is specifically designed as a versatile tyre that performs well at both the front and rear of 1/8 scale off-road buggies, making it an economical choice for racers who want a single tyre type across their entire buggy.
- How do I choose between pins-out and blade-out mounting for my track conditions? — Mount the tyres with pins facing outward on loose or low-traction surfaces where you want additional side grip and improved steering response. Flip the tyres to blade-out configuration on high-bite or hard-packed tracks where you need to reduce side traction and maintain stability. Many racers carry both mounting options and change between them based on track conditions, making Buck Shot tyres an excellent choice for versatile racing.
- How long do the included foam inserts last? — The high-density closed-cell foam inserts are designed to be durable and reusable, providing extended service life. Once worn, they can be easily replaced with Pro-Line spare inserts without needing to purchase new tyres. The reusable nature of these inserts represents excellent value for racers who regularly compete.
- What is the difference between Buck Shot M3 and earlier Buck Shot versions? — The M3 designation indicates the latest iteration of the Buck Shot tyre with the newest S-Compound rubber formula, delivering improved wear characteristics and traction performance compared to previous generations. The M3 represents Pro-Line's ongoing commitment to refinement and improvement based on real-world racing feedback.
- Will these pre-mounted tyres fit my 1/8 scale buggy? — These tyres come mounted on 17mm hexagon Velocity wheels, which are the industry standard for 1/8 scale off-road buggies. If your buggy features standard 17mm hexagon hubs, these will fit directly. If you have non-standard hubs, you may need to transfer the tyres to different wheels, though this is a straightforward process.
- Do I need to glue these tyres to the wheels? — The Buck Shot M3 tyres arrive pre-mounted and ready to use. Whether re-gluing is necessary depends on your individual usage patterns and how vigorously you drive. Many racers re-glue after several uses to ensure the tyre remains secure, though the initial mounting is generally sufficient for standard recreational and competitive racing.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Whilst the Buck Shot M3 is a competition-grade tyre with championship-proven performance, it is absolutely suitable for beginners seeking quality equipment. The pre-mounted convenience makes installation straightforward, and the forgiving tread design works well across a range of track conditions. Beginners benefit from starting with proven, quality tyres rather than budget alternatives.
- How do these compare to other popular 1/8 buggy tyres available in the UK? — The Buck Shot M3 combines the proven pin design concept of the Hole Shot 2.0 with improved durability through closer pin spacing and enhanced S-Compound rubber technology. The unique directional tread capability (pins-out and blade-out) provides unmatched versatility for adapting to different track conditions without purchasing multiple tyre sets. This combination of championship heritage, durability and versatility makes the Buck Shot M3 exceptional value in the competitive 1/8 buggy tyre market.
