Matrix have added a new wheel to their range of pre-mounted 1/8th on-road foam tyres in the form of the Precision rim. Adding to the already available Carbon and Light variants, the Precision rim is made of aerospace plastic material that is both very light of weight yet extremely strong, providing improved ease of driving, precision and consistency when running on tracks that have already taken a lot of rubber or when the use of additive is allowed. The rim is lighter than the already available Light rim and easily recognisable by its slightly yellowish colour.
