I looked at the PDF too, but it's generic. This page indicates it comes with "racing radial" tires. And if you zoom in on the picture or doesn't appear to have rally blocks on it.

Incidentally both Pro kits are now discontinued. So my guess is that we may see a Pro II, or R Spec in the near future
The long damper and truck versions were discontinued a while ago as well.

I'm trying to determine which motor and ESC I want for this car. I'm really worried about heat because of the constant, wide open spinning of rally as well as the dirt. I have a new HobbyWing Xtreme Stock ESC and 13.5T Xerun sensored motor at home. Will this survive or should I go up to a 10.5T and slow it with gearing?
