AKA Impact buggy tires & EVO buggy wheels

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.

Smokem Racing DEX410R shock towers

Smokem Racing’s DEX410R carbon fiber shock towers are a direct replacement for the aluminium shock towers found on the Durango DEX410R. Aluminium parts can often bend on impact which can be hard to detect with the naked eye and this can alter the shock geometry and handling of your buggy. The Smokem towers are not only tougher but are also up to 40% lighter than the standard aluminium units. Additional shock mounting holes have been provided to allow racers to further fine-tune the handling of their DEX410R or DEX410.
