HotRace 1/8 onroad Lens tires

HotRace have introduced their newest product for the 1/8 on road class, called Lens tires. These new onroad tires present a different foam propriety and an innovative rim material that isn’t affected by different weather conditions. In a change from the usual shore rating, these new tires will be represented with colours, red for super soft, green for soft and light blue for medium, with a further option for normal or high grip conditions, the latter sporting an additional white dot next to the shore colour. Also new is that you can add the included Lexan Lens disc (LLD) to make the car more comfortable in the corner. The result of 10 months of hard work and development, these tires do not replace their current 1/8 on road tires and are just an additional product for this class. Supplied in a box and sold as a complete set of 4, the Italian brand plans to produce only 300 sets every month and you will find on each box the month and the number of production.
