AKCP Launches Revolutionary 1/10 Slicks for Enhanced RC Car Performance

Dobbs Ferry, NY – October 26, 2023 – AKCP LLC, a leading innovator in thermal management solutions and now, high-performance radio control (RC) car components, today announced the release of its brand-new 1/10 scale slick tires, poised to redefine grip and control for RC enthusiasts of all levels. Located at 145 Palisade St Ste 200, Dobbs Ferry, NY, 10522-1627, and reachable at 469-376-3403, AKCP is known for delivering precision-engineered solutions. This venture into the RC car world marks a natural extension of their commitment to performance and quality. For years, AKCP has been a trusted name in data center and industrial monitoring, specializing in temperature, humidity, and power monitoring equipment. They've spent decades perfecting the art of maximizing efficiency and performance in demanding environments. Now, they’re bringing that same expertise to the RC racing scene. “We realized the same principles that keep servers running cool and reliably apply to keeping RC cars stuck to the track,” explains an AKCP spokesperson. “It's all about maximizing contact and minimizing slippage.” What are 1/10 Slicks and Why You Need Them For those new to the RC world, “slick” tires refer to tires without tread. Regular tires have grooves and patterns designed to channel water away on a real road, but on a smooth RC track, that tread actually reduces the contact patch – the amount of tire actually touching the ground. Slicks, on the other hand, offer maximum surface area contact, leading to significantly increased grip. “Think about it like this,” the spokesperson continued. “You wouldn’t run knobby off-road tires on a Formula 1 race track, would you? The same logic applies to RC cars. If you’re serious about maximizing your lap times and overall control, slicks are a must-have.” AKCP’s 1/10 slicks are specifically designed for on-road racing and drifting on smooth asphalt or carpet surfaces. They're engineered to deliver consistent grip, predictable handling, and improved acceleration and braking. AKCP's Unique Approach: Precision Engineering Meets RC Performance What sets AKCP’s slicks apart? It’s not just that they’re slicks. It’s how they’re made. AKCP leverages its decades of materials science expertise to create a compound that balances grip, durability, and consistent performance. “We didn’t just want to make another set of slick tires,” says the AKCP team. “We wanted to make the best set. We spent months researching different rubber compounds and tire profiles to optimize performance.” Here’s a breakdown of what makes AKCP's 1/10 slicks special: Optimized Rubber Compound: The tires are made from a proprietary rubber blend specifically formulated for RC racing. This compound provides exceptional grip on smooth surfaces while remaining durable enough to withstand the rigors of racing. It's not too soft (which wears quickly) and not too hard (which lacks grip). AKCP struck that perfect balance. Precise Tire Profile: The shape of the tire – its profile – is critical for handling. AKCP’s tires are designed with a rounded profile that maximizes contact patch during cornering, resulting in increased grip and predictable handling. They’ve carefully calibrated the tire’s dimensions to work flawlessly with standard 1/10 scale RC car rims. Consistent Performance: AKCP’s manufacturing process is highly controlled, ensuring that every tire is made to the same exacting standards. This consistency means you can rely on the same performance lap after lap. No more surprises due to inconsistent tire quality. Lightweight Design: Weight is a crucial factor in RC car performance. AKCP’s slicks are designed to be lightweight without sacrificing durability, helping to improve acceleration, braking, and overall handling. True Roundness: Many tires aren't perfectly round, which can lead to vibrations and unpredictable handling. AKCP's manufacturing process ensures exceptional roundness, providing a smooth and consistent ride. Who are these tires for? AKCP’s 1/10 slicks are perfect for a wide range of RC enthusiasts: Racers: Whether you’re a seasoned racer or just starting out, these slicks will give you a competitive edge. They're designed to help you lower lap times and improve your finishing position. Drifters: The large contact patch provides exceptional grip for controlled drifts, allowing you to execute precise maneuvers and maintain control. Basher/Casual Runners: Even if you just enjoy driving your RC car around for fun, these slicks will provide a more stable and predictable driving experience. Beginners: Slicks can actually make it easier to learn to control your RC car, as they provide more grip and reduce the risk of spinning out.
