AKA Chain Link 2.2 1/10th buggy tyre

AKA’s popular Chain Link tread is now also available in a 1/10th 2.2″ variant. The standard size rear tyre features a bi-level, interlocking tread pattern that creates support for the tyre’s carcass and treads. This additional support leads to consistency through corners and provides on-throttle stability while offering a balanced forward drive and side bite which is ideal for hard-packed or blue groove, indoor and outdoor tracks. Available in clay, ultra soft, super soft, and soft compounds as tyres with red inserts.

Pro-Line Micron 2WD & 4WD front tyres

Pro-Line’s Micron 1/10th buggy tyre is now also available as a 2WD and 4WD front variant. The Micron is the ideal complement to the Electron, giving racers a lower pin option when the track conditions require it. The tyres feature connected tread technology similar to the Electron with an emphasis on creating as many forward facing edges as possible for maximum forward grip. The unique centre tread zig zags back and forth for great forward bite and side bite while maintaining good wear.

Hot Race Miami 1/8th buggy tyres

The medium-size pin tread offering builds on a special carcass with round shoulders, making for a tyre that is less prone to unsettle the car over ruts and worn-out sections of the track while an inner mesh makes for lower and more even tyre wear. The tyre is available in supersoft, soft, medium and hard compound from beginning of January.
