ENDURO 1/10 Short Course Tire

AKA and Short Course tire development come together to give you the AKA SC Enduro. The tire is made specific for the 2.2 - 3.0 inch wheels that are common on all Short Course trucks. The Enduro was designed with larger lugs that have been cut in various angles to provide you with great tread life but also give the lugs enough flex to give you the bite you need on a variety of different track conditions. All of AKA SC tires feature a unique inner carcass ribbing that supports the outer sidewall to the wheel and also captures the foam. This gives the tire a consistent feel across the width of the tire. Other tire manufactures leave gaps in these areas therefore the tire is not supported all the way across the width of the tire. Our tires work best on the flatter style wheels vs. the cone type wheels that leave the tire unsupported. AU$25.00

1:8 Buggy Shaped Insert Red (Soft) (4 pcs)

The soft red insert was designed to decrease the lateral deflection of the tire while at the same time increasing the vertical impact absorption therefore providing better handling in the bumps. Using softer foam or hollowing out the inner circumference like other companies do still leaves the car feeling squirmy and less accurate through the bumps. Not to mention the loss of durability. Gil Losi and Mark Pavidis knew this compromise was not the solution. The solution they found was the addition of lateral grooves to the I.D. of AKA's best in class closed cell inserts. The lateral grooves allow the insert to flex vertically to absorb the large impacts while still maintaining lateral stability and overall durability AKA inserts are known for. No compromises. The result is a more predictable handling car in the harshest track conditions.

1:8 Buggy EVO Wheels Yellow (4 pcs.)

From the collective minds of Mark Pavidis and Gil Losi comes a complete redesign of the AKA buggy wheel. Now that AKA's closed cell foams have become an industry standard it became apparent to us that all the current wheels are too soft to support the now stiffer inserts and the ever increasing G forces of modern 1:8 buggies. The goal was to achieve a stiffer wheel without sacrificing weight or durability. Mark and Gil were able to reach this goal by first changing the face of the wheel from convex to concave. This design change helps the EVO wheel deal with higher G loads without distortion of the face of the wheel. Next they were able to kill two birds with one stone by developing an optional internal dish which serves two purposes. The first and most important purpose is to further stiffen the wheel and especially help the inner most bead hold it's shape. The second purpose of this dish is to block dirt from being trapped within the inner ribbing of the wheel causing the wheel to go out of balance. These design innovations allowed the wheel to be stiffer without going to stiffer and therefore more brittle plastic. It also avoided having to increase wall thickness which gives up clearance and adds unwanted rotating mass. The advantage of the stiffer EVO wheel shows up immediately with higher corner speeds, more consistent handling in the bumps and effortless jumping. The EVO is made from the super durable impact modified AKA nylon that current AKA customers are used to. The optional inner wheel stiffeners are available separately in sets of four in both white and yellow and are removable and transferable from set to set. The EVO wheel can be used without the inner stiffener, but we know once you use the stiffeners, you won't want to go back.

Wheel Stiffener for EVO Wheel Yellow (4 pcs.)

The EVO wheel stiffener is specifically designed to work with the AKA EVO buggy wheel. Designed with two purposes in mind the stiffener not only works to stiffen the already stiff EVO wheel it also serves to block dust and dirt from building up inside the wheel and making the wheel go out of balance.
