GQ Soft Rim Technology for 1:10th 200mm

GQ America have announced their ‘soft rim’ tire technology, which gives racers extra speed and fine tuning for cold weather racing, bumpy and low grip tracks. Firstly, the outer edge of the rim in not soft, it is as stiff as their regular Pro Series Rims for high speed turns but moving from the outer edge toward the inner edge, GQ’s special plastic formulation becomes softer to enhance grip. What makes these rims so special is the unique plastic formulation developed by GQ’s PHD staff and the advance machinery needed to manufacture these rims.
