Team Titan have released their 1/10th EP Touring car carbon rim. After extensive testing with 24mm EP rubber tires, they have found that this new rim gives lots of stability during cornering as well as high speeds, especially in hot summer weather. Due to its construction the rim will not become soft and therefore gives consistent handling from the first to the last minutes.
