Your SOL
Keep an eye on Fleabay, RCU and other forums. Somthing will pop up soon enough.

A week or so ago think it was here on RCM, someone has new paddles still NIP, I'll bet there gone tho.

Good luck on your quest !

That was me that sold them. They sold within 48 hours of being posted FS on several forums.

Yep, paddles are pretty non-existent for 1/8's. I would look to Badland's possible.

[schofield]

there are paddles made for the HPI baja

[bdebde]

Would these work?

I'll sell you mine.



For 1000 bucks, or whatever the price of a 5b is!

J/k but really send an e-mail to Proline, the more we 1/8th scale buggy guys bug them to bring them back the more of a chance we have to get them back.

They brought back the knuckles... So there is hope.

Or SC8 wheels with the new short coarse truck slingshots...

they are, but those tires won't fit on those wheels. The slingshot tires linked require a 2.2" outer bead and a 3" inner bead, and are too wide for the rim linked. The wheel linked is 3" on both sides, and too narrow for the tire.

Those german/austrian paddles look to be the sh!t. Extra rubber supports that will help them last. The proline buggy paddles were very weak and the paddles ripped very easily in anything but sand.

IMO I'd figure out a way to get the german stuff.
