JConcepts Inverse wheel & updated car stand

Seen at the World Championships in Thailand last November, the new JConcepts Inverse wheel with 2-piece design provides several benefits for maximum tune-ability and ease of use. The inner wheel comes standard in a black matte finish and is designed as a completely smooth surface for the cleanest fit and finish which resists debris build-up. The outer dish is available in bright white or fluorescent yellow and is creatively interlocked with the wheel and with the addition of inner screws can provide tuned flexibility. A 4 or 8 screw combination can be utilized for tuning with 8 screws providing a stiffer inner wheel and 4 screws providing more flex. The Inverse wheel face also incorporates a user friendly wheel face shaped to promote a smoother gluing, wiping and drying experience. Also new from JConcepts is their updated polycarbonate car stand which is now available in a matt black finish.

JConcepts truck Subclutures & Elevated truck wheels

Subcultures, the popular three tier design from JConcepts, are the latest in 1/8th truck tire development. The elevated, angular, bead configuration provides elements that combine light weight with performance. In general, 1/8th truck tires are heavy and minimizing rubber and insert material was the focus. By utilizing the tire sidewall as the mounting bead, the Elevated design eliminated the need for excess rubber and insert material, dropping weight, while simplifying the mounting / gluing contact patch and location. Designed for maximum performance when new or used as the design allows even wear all the way down to the tire body. Subcultures, in green compound, while in new condition excel on hard slick surfaces that are either dry, wet or when traction is hard to come-by. Worn Subcultures on the second or third tier of lugs, excel on surfaces where a groove has formed with minimal dust buildup. At the heart of the revolutionary tire bead for 1/8th truck racing is the Elevated 1/8th truck wheel. Utilizing the tire sidewall as the mounting bead, the Elevated wheel design eliminated the need for excess rubber and insert material, dropping overall weight. Available in bright white and fluorescent yellow the Elevated bead wheel is manufactured in a durable material which is able to withstand the heavy rigors of 1/8th truck racing.

The rear base of the cab area represents the latest offering for 1/8th E-buggy racing featuring a super low profile design for increased air flow, escape and body placement and the lower rear deck area provides less directional loading at the rear of the vehicle for quick rotation in the tightest corners.
