New Orcan 1/10th scale tires

SMI Motorsport will offer its Orcan tires for the 1/10 scale nitro on road class with a new rim. In comparison to the old wheel the new rim differs not only visually by a so-called Dish design but more than that with an optimised performance. The closed Dish design offers better aerodynamics and together with the lightweight version, a noticeably better turn-in, apart from the weight advantage. The new rims have been tested by the experienced SMI/Orcan team led by European Champion Dirk Wischnewski. “The driveability at the same shore level has raised generally and specially in fast corners”, says Xray factory driver Wischnewski. SMI offers the new Orcan tyres which come in handy and waste reducing, re sealable bags, in ‘super soft’ and ‘soft’ for front wheels and ‘soft’ and ‘medium’ for rear wheels.
