AKA Super Soft Compound tires

AKA have announced for the iHobby show the addition of a ‘Super Soft’ compound to their line up of tires. The ‘Super Soft’ or V compound as is noted in the part number is for cooler conditions when the track is transitioning from wet to a drier hard packed line that is not quite grooved in. Great for winter and early spring racing conditions the Super Soft still retains the relative long lasting wear characteristics that AKA is known for while providing that extra measure of traction for the trickiest of surface conditions. This new compound is available in all tread patterns for both buggy and truggy.
