The Hot Race Tokyo is Hot Race's newest 1/8 buggy tyre, developed for smooth, clean tracks with little to no dust. It's the evolution of the famous Sahara, taking the concept further with a new balance between traction, control and durability. The tread pattern was developed together with Hot Race team drivers, whose feedback shaped the final design.
