Don't get left in your competition's dust, take the win with Pro-Line's new S3 compound today!
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 HoleShot 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!

Key Features
- S3 Soft Compound Technology — Pro-Line's latest S3 compound is a significant advancement over previous X3 technology, offering substantially improved grip in both dry and slick conditions whilst maintaining race-winning stability throughout long main events without performance fade.
- Championship-Proven Performance — Already a national championship winner, these tyres have been validated by professional RC drivers at the highest competitive levels, including the ROAR Fuel Offroad Nationals and ROAR Electric Nationals.
- Closely-Stacked Pin Design — The Buck Shot features pins similar in size to the popular HoleShot 2.0 tyre, but stacked much closer together side-to-side, which delivers significantly longer-lasting performance compared to loose pin designs.
- Alternating Elongated Bar Tread — Unique elongated bars alternating across the tyre provide incredible forward grip and traction in all conditions, ensuring maximum acceleration and braking performance on loose surfaces.
- Directional SwitchBlade Technology — The Buck Shot utilises a directional two-sided tread design similar to the SwitchBlade tyre, allowing you to mount each tyre in the orientation that best suits your specific track conditions.
- Pins Out Configuration — Mount with standard pins exposed for loose or low-traction conditions, which adds side grip and improves steering response when you need maximum cornering control on slippery surfaces.
- Blade Out Configuration — Flip the tyre to expose the elongated bars for high-bite, edgy track conditions where you want to reduce side traction and maintain directional stability on grippy surfaces.
- Front and Rear Compatibility — These tyres are designed for use on both front and rear axles of 1/8 scale off-road truggies, making them a versatile choice for complete tyre packages.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Buck Shot S3 represents cutting-edge engineering in off-road RC tyre design. The 4.0 inch diameter makes these tyres suitable for 1/8 scale off-road truggies and provides the right balance of ground clearance and rolling diameter for optimal performance. The S3 compound delivers measurable improvements in grip consistency and longevity compared to harder, older compounds. Unlike tyres that harden and lose grip over the course of a race, the S3 compound maintains stable performance characteristics throughout the entire main event, which is essential when competing against other racers. The closely-stacked pin architecture provides superior wear characteristics whilst still delivering excellent forward grip, meaning you get more competitive lifespan from each tyre. The directional design means you can optimise your setup for your local track conditions—whether your venue demands maximum steering response or maximum directional stability. This flexibility, combined with proven championship performance, makes the Buck Shot S3 the preferred choice for serious RC racers across the UK and internationally.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Pro-Line Buck Shot S3 tyres suitable for competition RC racing? — Yes, absolutely. These are competition-grade tyres that have already won at national championships including the ROAR Nationals. They are specifically engineered for competitive off-road RC racing and deliver the grip consistency and durability demanded by serious racers.
- What is the difference between mounting the Buck Shot with pins out versus blade out? — The directional design gives you two distinct tread configurations. Mount with pins out for loose or low-traction conditions where you want maximum side grip and improved steering response. Mount with blade out (elongated bars exposed) for high-bite, edgy track conditions where you want reduced side traction and improved directional stability. This flexibility allows you to optimise your setup for your specific track without buying additional tyre sets.
- How long do the S3 compound tyres last compared to older compounds? — The S3 compound is designed for long-lasting performance with significantly extended tyre life. The closely-stacked pin design also contributes to durability, meaning you get more competitive laps per tyre compared to loose pin designs. Additionally, the S3 compound maintains consistent grip throughout long main events without the fade and softening that occurs with older, harder compounds.
- Are these tyres suitable for loose dirt tracks and high-grip asphalt? — The S3 compound specifically excels in both dry and slick conditions, making it versatile across different track surfaces. The directional design allows further optimisation by letting you choose whether to run pins out or blade out depending on your track conditions, making the Buck Shot S3 adaptable to virtually any off-road RC racing venue.
- What size vehicles do these tyres fit? — These are 4.0 inch diameter tyres designed for 1/8 scale off-road truggies. They are engineered for both front and rear axle use on compatible vehicles in this size class.
- What makes the S3 compound different from previous Pro-Line compounds? — The S3 compound represents a substantial leap forward in grip performance and race consistency compared to the older X3 compound. The key improvement is superior grip in both dry and slick conditions combined with significantly improved stability throughout long main events—the tyres do not fade or get soft near the end of the race, which is critical for competitive performance.
