We received some pictures from our site sponsors, AKA, of Gil Losi, Jr and team drivers Ryan Lutz, Cody King, Jimmy Wright and Mark Pavidis, who have just completed a three-day marathon of testing the all new AKA tires, wheels and foam inserts on a number of different tracks. The tests went very well and we have been informed that Mark has now left for the EFRA GP in Greece, where he will be competing with the AKA tires.

AKA 1/8 scale off-road tires

Exclusively revealed on Red RC at the start of February, Kyosho America have officially announced the new AKA brand, which will launch with a line of high-performance 1/8 off-road tires, wheels and inserts. Mark Pavidis and Gil Losi, Jr. are spearheading the design of the new line, with the pairing responsible for the most successful off-road racing tire designs of the last decade, so the combined knowledge and racing experience of these two RC icons promises some very dynamic, high-performance tires. The launch will include two types of low-profile 1/8 off-road buggy and truck racing tires featuring two different compounds, lightweight and contoured foam inserts, and large-diameter low-profile racing wheels.

AKA World Class Products

An interesting rumour that we heard floating around the fair was the impending release of a new brand selling competition based products. There was little or no further information to be found regarding what type of products they are, other than it was something to do with Kyosho and it was called AKA. We’ll let you know more information when we get it. Remember you heard it here first.
