Recently there has been some talk about the new foams from Kyosho America subsidiary AKA. This weekend at the Pre-Worlds was the real debut at a large event, used by a couple of guys including designer Mark Pavidis and Ty Tessman who raced in the final(s). Supply was short, each AKA sponsored driver only had a couple of sets of foam for the entire event, meaning everyone had to cut out their worn tires to re-use the foams after each run. The foam is really different from any other foam on the market with a 'sponge' look, they do in fact resemble on-road foam tires.
Speaking with designer Mark Pavidis he said,
"The foams are not your standard moulded PU foam poured in moulds. These foams are much stronger than any molded PU foam on the market. The foams are ground to shape from a foam rubber mix. The inserts are still light weight as well. The intial feeling of the foams give the tire a slightly firmer feel but the performance is very noticable." 
The foam is appears to be very durable and harder than anything else on the market. Coupled with AKA tyres, the combination seems to be working well with very little wear, even after an hour long main, as 3rd place finisher Ty Tessman's tyres proved.
When it comes to a firm release date the AKA folks are pretty tight-lipped however we hear rumblings of mid-to-late August.

By popular demand, Team Losi has developed a thin formula Tire Glue for use on tires with poor access to the tire bead and where it is necessary to allow the glue to flow into otherwise unreach-able areas. Much like the standard blue label Team Losi “Tread Lock” Tire Glue, the new red label thin formula will work well on all kinds of natural and synthetic rubber compounds currently used in R/C car racing. As with any thin formula CA-type glue, cure time is shorter, yet the bond strength is the same. Like the standard formula, the thin formula comes in Team Losi's exclusive non-clogging bottle with the spill-proof screw-on cap.
