The Xray driver has been running these tires since the start of his career in nitro racing. “The quality and standard has always been perfect. They have been market leaders especially after the introduction of the very stiff and lightweight carbon rims. For next year I will use Matrix Tires also in the 1/12 class. My first race with those tires will be the 2012 Snowbirds in Orlando, Florida.”

They have already tested these new rims at the 1/10th Pre Worlds in Houston with good results, have won the 1/10th Euro B championship and have also tested it at the 1/8th Euro B championship in Monaco, where they achieved 2nd place. Matrix have also released a new packaging system made by flow-pack, the same system as used for food.
