Overview
This is a pair of Buck Shot 1:8 Truck 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 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 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! Be the first at your track to win with Pro-Line's new Buck Shot!

Fits On
- 1:8 Truck Front or Rear Wheels
Overview
The Pro-Line 1/8 Buck Shot M3 Front/Rear 4.0 inch Off-Road Truggy Tires represent a significant advancement in RC truggy tyre technology, combining championship-proven performance with remarkable durability. This pair of premium quality tyres is specifically engineered for 1/8 scale off-road RC trucks and truggies, delivering the grip and longevity that serious racers and weekend bashers alike demand. Whether you're competing at your local RC club in the UK or enjoying recreational driving, these tyres offer the versatility and performance characteristics to excel across a wide range of track conditions.
The Buck Shot tyres debuted at the 2017 ROAR National Championships and immediately made an impact, securing victories in the hands of Pro-Line Team Driver Ty Tessmann. Since that auspicious beginning, racers across the RC community have embraced the Buck Shot as their new favourite tyre, praising its combination of aggressive forward traction, extended tread life, and innovative directional design. These are not budget tyres—they represent Pro-Line's commitment to engineering excellence and real-world performance that translates into wins on competitive tracks and pure fun during weekend bashing sessions throughout the UK and beyond.
What sets the Buck Shot apart from other 1/8 scale off-road tyres is its intelligent engineering approach to pin design and compound formulation. The tyre pins are very similar in size to the acclaimed Hole Shot 2.0, but Pro-Line has stacked them closer together side to side, which dramatically extends tread life without sacrificing the initial aggressive bite that racers crave. Combined with Pro-Line's lab-certified select compounds and the unique directional SwitchBlade tread design, the Buck Shot M3 represents the latest generation in Pro-Line's tyre development philosophy.
Key Features
- Championship-Proven Design — Already a winner at the 2017 ROAR National Championships and trusted by Pro-Line Team Driver Ty Tessmann, the Buck Shot has been proven in the most demanding racing conditions, giving you confidence that you're purchasing a tyre developed and tested at the highest competitive levels.
- Extended Tread Life Compared to Hole Shot — Whilst the pin size is similar to the popular Hole Shot 2.0, the Buck Shot pins are stacked much closer together side to side, providing significantly longer-lasting performance so you get more driving sessions from each pair of tyres before needing replacement.
- Massive Forward Traction with Stacked Pin Design — The closely-spaced pin arrangement delivers incredible forward grip and acceleration, allowing your truggy to bite hard into the track surface and maintain momentum through corners and over obstacles.
- Directional SwitchBlade Tread Technology — The Buck Shot features different tread patterns on the outer and inner edges of the tyre, similar to the extremely popular SwitchBlade design, giving you two distinct performance characteristics in one tyre depending on how you mount it.
- Pins Out Configuration for Loose Conditions — When mounted with the standard pins facing outward, the Buck Shot provides enhanced side grip and improved steering response, making this configuration ideal for loose or low-traction track conditions where you want the tyre to add lateral control.
- Blade Out Configuration for High-Bite Conditions — When flipped to show the connected side tread (Blade), the tyre reduces side traction, which proves invaluable in high-bite or edgy conditions where excessive side grip can cause instability or sudden directional changes.
- Lab-Certified Select Compounds — Pro-Line has developed and tested multiple compound options for the Buck Shot M3, providing maximum compound grip on low-bite surfaces and delivering the latest generation ultra-long-lasting compound technology that stays stable throughout long main events without fade.
- Compliant Carcass Construction — The tyre's sidewall structure produces traction with controlled expansion, meaning the tyre maintains structural integrity while flexing appropriately to conform to track surface irregularities and maintain consistent contact patch pressure.
- Temperature-Optimised Compound Selection — Pro-Line provides more firm material for higher temperatures and softer material for lower temperatures, allowing you to dial in perfect tyre performance regardless of seasonal conditions or outdoor temperature during UK racing seasons.
- Medium Wear on Wet Surfaces — The Buck Shot M3 delivers predictable wear characteristics on wet terrain, making these tyres suitable for varying weather conditions and ensuring consistent performance even during damp British weather conditions.
- Substantial Grip in Dry and Slick Conditions — The compound formulation represents a substantial leap forward in terms of grip on dry asphalt and slick surfaces, providing confident traction and predictable handling on diverse track layouts.
- Long-Lasting Stability Through Main Events — Unlike some tyres that degrade during extended run times, the Buck Shot maintains performance throughout long racing sessions, remaining stable and predictable without experiencing fade or grip loss as the session progresses.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Buck Shot M3 represents the culmination of advanced rubber compound chemistry and intelligent mechanical design. The M3 designation indicates this is the latest generation of compound formulation, incorporating Pro-Line's most recent developments in grip technology and durability. The 4.0 inch diameter sizing is purpose-built for 1/8 scale off-road truggies, delivering the precise contact patch and sidewall characteristics necessary for high-performance competition or aggressive weekend bashing. The tyre construction employs a compliant carcass that provides the perfect balance between structural support and flex characteristics, allowing the tyre to maintain pressure consistency under aggressive cornering whilst still conforming to track surface irregularities. The pin design, with closely-stacked geometry compared to earlier Hole Shot designs, distributes contact forces across a larger surface area per pin, reducing individual pin stress and extending overall tread life significantly. The directional SwitchBlade tread technology is engineered so that both configurations provide measurable performance benefits depending on track conditions—this is not merely cosmetic differentiation but a genuine engineering solution to varying grip environments. Pro-Line's lab certification process ensures that each compound variant has been tested for grip characteristics, wear rates, temperature stability, and performance consistency. The forward-facing pins deliver aggressive acceleration traction, whilst the blade configuration addresses side-slip concerns in high-grip situations. This comprehensive approach to tyre engineering makes the Buck Shot M3 suitable for both competitive racers seeking lap-time advantages and dedicated hobbyists demanding reliable, long-lasting performance from their RC car UK investments.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Pro-Line Buck Shot M3 tyres suitable for both front and rear positions? — Yes, these tyres are designated as Front/Rear, meaning a single pair can be used in either position on your 1/8 truggy. Pro-Line has engineered the sidewall and compound characteristics to deliver consistent performance whether mounted on the front or rear axle, giving you flexibility in tyre management and replacement.
- What is the difference between mounting the Buck Shot with Pins Out versus Blade Out? — When mounted with pins facing outward (Pins Out), the tyre provides maximum side grip and improved steering response, ideal for loose or low-traction conditions. When flipped to show the blade side outward (Blade Out), the connected tread reduces side traction, which suits high-bite or edgy conditions where you want to minimise excessive side grip that could cause handling instability.
- How do the Buck Shot M3 tyres compare to the Hole Shot 2.0? — Both tyres feature similar pin sizes, but the Buck Shot pins are stacked much closer together side to side, providing significantly extended tread life. The Buck Shot also incorporates the newer SwitchBlade directional tread technology and the latest M3 compound formulation, representing a more advanced design with longer durability and greater versatility across different track conditions.
- What are the Pro-Line M3 compounds, and which should I choose? — Pro-Line offers multiple compound variants of the Buck Shot M3 under their lab-certified select compounds range. The manufacturer provides compound guidance based on track conditions and temperature: use firmer material for higher temperatures and softer material for lower temperatures. Pro-Line provides a full compound chart for detailed specifications, available for download from their technical resources.
- Will the Buck Shot M3 tyres last significantly longer than other pro-line tyres? — Yes, the Buck Shot design specifically addresses tyre longevity through closely-stacked pin geometry that distributes wear more evenly across the contact patch. Combined with the ultra-long-lasting M3 compound formulation that provides medium wear characteristics even on wet surfaces, these tyres deliver extended service life compared to earlier Pro-Line designs.
- Are these tyres competition-legal for UK RC racing clubs? — The Buck Shot M3 has proven credentials in national-level competition, having debuted at the 2017 ROAR National Championships. However, specific class regulations vary between clubs and racing formats, so we recommend verifying with your local RC club UK regarding tyre specifications and any particular restrictions that may apply to your racing category.
- What track surfaces are the Buck Shot M3 tyres best suited for? — The Buck Shot M3 delivers excellent performance across a broad range of surfaces including loose dirt, packed earth, clay, and asphalt. The dual-configuration directional design means you can optimise the tyre for your specific track conditions—use Pins Out on loose/low-bite surfaces and Blade Out on high-bite/edgy conditions. This versatility makes them suitable for various UK track layouts and outdoor natural terrain courses.
- Do I need to glue these tyres to wheels? — This product includes tyres only. You will need to mount these tyres onto 1/8 scale wheels suitable for off-road truggies. Most modern RC wheels feature glue-in or inserted foam inserts, requiring either Pro-Line foam inserts or equivalent aftermarket solutions, depending on your wheel choice.
