AKA 2WD Front Closed Cell Insert and Cyclone SC Wheel

AKA has released a 2WD Front Closed Cell Insert and the Cyclone SC Wheel for the Losi SCTE. AKA pioneered closed cell inserts, designed to decrease the lateral deflection of the tyre while at the same time increasing the vertical impact absorption therefore providing better handling in the bumps. Using softer foam or hollowing out the inner circumference like other companies do still leaves the car feeling squirmy with a less accurate feeling through the bumps. Not to mention the loss of durability. Gil Losi and Mark Pavidis knew this compromise was not the solution. The solution they found was the addition of lateral grooves to the inner diameter. The lateral grooves allow the insert to flex vertically to absorb the large impacts while still maintaining lateral stability and overall durability AKA inserts are known for. No compromises. The result is a more predictable handling car without giving up durability.

AKA Cyclone SC wheels are designed to fit the Losi Ten-SCTE 4×4. All wheels are made from the same proprietary nylon blend as the the 1:8 AKA wheels. The wheel design is modelled after the full-size wheels used on the trucks to keep that scale look that makes the SC class so cool. Behind the scenes the wheel is all about being light weight and strong. Each spoke of the wheel is hollowed out to save weight, while there are outer ribs to help support the barrel of the wheel for more consistent handling. The wheel is designed to work with AKA’s standard buggy inserts that are included with each pair of AKA SC tyres.
