CRC Pink Pro Cuts, Final Cut & Battle Axe upgrades

More new items from CRC who have introduced their soft long wear pink front Pro Cut 1/12th tires. Pink is 30 shore R4 from Japan. The R4 line of rubber is very durable and long wear with the soft 30 shore providing extremely high grip. This tire is best for low grip carpet and asphalt surfaces. To reduce these and any other tires to the correct diameter CRC have also released the Final Cut tire truer cutting bit. A super hard tungsten carbide cutting bit with sharp, super hard teeth it remains sharp cut after cut. The finish on the foam after truing is absolutely smooth and ready to race. Because it cuts so cleanly and aggressively, the Final Cut truing bit reduces the load on the truer motor by removing material rather than pushing it around. Finally for their Battle Axe oval car, is a left offset motor pod conversion that pushes the motors to the left for better cornering speeds. The parts are available in a couple different conversion “kits” and separately as well. The rear top plate has been ‘tweaked’ to allow easier use of CRC’s new Encore Shocks. Also available is the wide-mount cross plate that allows you to use much shorter body mounts in a more stable wider position.

AKA introduce the Wishbone

AKA have announced the new Wishbone tire, which brings years of 1:8 tire technology to indoor racing. With indoor 1:8 racing becoming more and more popular it only made sense for AKA to enter into the 1/8 indoor tire market. After months of testing with drivers from all over the country, they have created a tire that features a dense center Wishbone lug design that helps give the tire both great forward and side bite. The tire features a carcass design with stiffer sidewalls and 3 radial ribs on the inside of the tire to keep the tire more stable with the softer AKA compounds. Available in medium, soft and super soft compounds, pre glued on yellow or white rims or as just the tire.
