AKA R-Line Pre Mounts

AKA have announced the release of their new R-Line pre-mounted 1:8 Buggy tires and the update of their current 1:8 Buggy and 1:10 SC tires. AKA’s new R-Line Evo pre-mounts feature AKA’s World Championship winning Evo wheel which combined with the stiffener disc claims to be the most technically advanced wheel on the market today. The Evo pre-mount also features AKA’s new soft red insert which was used by Cody King along with the Evo wheel to win last November’s World Championships. Combine these two new revolutionary products with the quality and endurance of AKA tires and the sum is the most technically advanced pre-mounted tires ever offered for 1:8 buggies. The Evo pre-mounts will be replacing the current pre-mounts starting March 4th and they will be discontinuing the older numbers as supplies run out. AKA also announced the update of all their current 1:8 Buggy and 1:10 SC tire and insert combos with their new red insert. The fluted I.D. of the soft red insert allows it to absorb the heavy hits while still having enough internal structure to retain it’s shape and stiffness in the turns to keep corner speeds up. The result is more consistent handling on a wider variety of surfaces with less compromise.
