AKA Cityblock & Gridiron tires & Cyclone SC wheels

AKA have announced the release of the Cityblock SC and Gridiron SC tires designed specifically for the 1/10 short course trucks.  Made to fit the stock wheels from all the popular short course trucks, they feature a 2.2”/3” bead design and an inner carcass design made to perfectly fit the industry standard AKA closed cell foams. The result is a much more controlled outer sidewall for more consistent handling and tread wear. The Cityblock pattern is their best selling tread pattern and will be the most versatile SC tire available, while the Gridiron is suited to high bite blue grooved tracks with little dust where a short pin is a must to keep the truck consistent. AKA have also released the Cyclone SC wheel that fit all standard 2.2″/3″ short course tires and are compatible with Associated, HPI, Jammin, Kyosho and Traxxas trucks. All wheels are made from the same proprietary nylon blend as the the 1:8 AKA wheels and will be released in black and come two to a bag. Expect September releases for all products.

LRP ZR.21X Spec 2 buggy engine

LRP have released their ZR.21X Spec 2 buggy engine, which is a completely new nitro engine compared to the previously available version. For a significantly better heat dissipation the engine received a new cooling head with tapered fins, as well as a finned combustion chamber to keep the temperature of the glow plug in check. The new carburetor feature changeable 6.0 & 7.0mm venturi inserts and instead of the usual aluminium the carburetor is made from the more rigid Ergal alloy, the result being much smoother running.
