AKA have announced two new products developed for the 1:8 Buggy IFMAR World Championship next month. The first new product is their Impact buggy tire that features a dense small square lug pattern with offset lug rows in the center of the tire to deliver maximum forward traction and good wear characteristics. The two outer rows of lugs are parallel to create a circumferential groove at the edge of the tire to give the tire very predicable side bite. This allows the car to rotate in the center of the turn while still feeling very stable and predictable. The Impact is built on AKA’s latest carcass design featured on their Enduro and Wishbone tires. Available in all of AKA’s proprietary compounds from super soft to hard with and without inserts and it will start shipping in mid-November.
