JConcepts SCT backpack

JConcepts got in touch to show us their new backpack specifically designed to carry a complete Short Course truck with room to spare. The bag features durable external material with front panel printing. Traditional front panel pockets have room for just about anything from spare parts to electrical and tools. The full-length side pockets are purpose built to hold four mounted tires on each side of the bag giving the racer multiple tire options in one contained unit. In addition, the inside of the bag has a composite hard bottom which allows the backpack to support its own weight during storage and packing. A carrying handle on top and conventional back straps with padded area make trips extremely simple. The backpack and compartments are not intended as LiPo safety material. Always follow manufacturers recommendations and specifications while storing potentially hazardous equipment.

JConcepts Hi-Clearance wing for TLR 22

JConcepts have released their Hi-Clearance wing as a direct fit for the TLR 22. 1/10th buggies are very dependent on the rear wing for traction, flight control and balance. The Hi-Clearance wing incorporates several important elements making it the most versatile wing yet. JConcepts has joined the high-performance wing into a paired combination that is easier to trim, detail and finish and each performance wing package now includes 2 wings for added value to the customer. The Hi-Clearance feature provides extra clearance for the expansion of tires during high acceleration points and especially on high speed straight-aways and also allows for full suspension movement during hard landings and full compression during cornering.

JConcepts SC10 4×4 over-tray

When racing or bashing on a loamy or top soil track surface the inside of the SC10 4×4 chassis can become loaded with dirt or debris which creates extra weight. With the JConcepts over-tray these worries are minimized with the simple and functional over-tray. Fitting nicely under the body it hugs the outside dimension of the SC10 4×4 chassis protecting the inside from unwanted excess dirt and debris build-up during racing conditions. The over-tray is built with extra height and rake to provide extra room for various electrical and battery configurations, while the back-side of the lovers can be cut out for air to escape.

JConcepts 1/8th truck Hybrids

A combination of years of development with JConcepts drivers, the Hybrids are all the rage and the combination of the most popular JConcepts tires available. A mid-lug design with unique inner Crowbar center lug DNA, the Hybrid is built for speed and ultimate high-speed control and handling. Supported lug control and X-braced sidewall lug detail is designed to go the distance in long qualifiers, final main events and beyond. Adapted for the 1/8th truck class featuring the Elevated Bead design the lightweight continuous tire body design minimizes rotating mass which makes the 1/8th truck Hybrid a dynamite performer straight out of the package. Extensive testing showed a smaller pin height advantageous in many conditions and particularly when sharp angles and edges arise in the track surface. At the base of the design, the new mid-height lugs present the compound to the racing surface while the center lug DNA picks up the heavy lifting for forward-bite. Available in Soft (Blue) and Super Soft (Green) compounds.
