JConcepts Short Course Goose Bumps

JConcepts Short Course Goose Bumps

With Short Course racing gaining popularity JConcepts have developed their Goose Bumps for the Slash / Slayer and SC10. Retaining the realistic look the tires are completely detailed with center lug all-terrain inspired tread and side wall. Combining a totally unique step pin and bar lug design with sticky green compound to allow even greater control on off-road surfaces. The Goose Bumps are a special breed, designed for maximum performance when new or used as the design allows even wear all the way down to the tire body. Once the driver wears through the initial pin, a bar follows to maximize potential on aggressive surfaces. The Goose Bumps incorporate a compact tire body with a crisp tread pattern with precise separation for intense short course racing competition. In new condition they excel on soft surfaces with either dry or wet conditions. Worn Goose Bumps excel on indoor or outdoor clay tracks where a slight groove has formed.

JConcepts Hyper 9 & X2 Hi-Flow shells

JConcepts have released 2 new bodyshells for the Jammin X2 and the Hobao Hyper 9 buggies. The Hyper 9 is new and unique and demands a body which is just the same and JConcepts has responded with the latest Illuzion body specifically designed for the Hyper. The Illuzion “Hi-Flow” styling presents a smooth yet detailed design while incorporating many of the features from the original Hi-Flow body. Special consideration has been made for the Hyper 9 considering the air filter, side guards, battery box and extra clearance around the throttle and break linkage. The Hi-Flow body for the Jammin X2 buggy is a fresh hit and provides confidence inspiring looks to the driver. In addition, JConcepts has taken the frustration out of the stock body design and has eliminated the front nose piece for extra durability and functionality around the front body mount.

JConcepts Sevens, Crowbars & Crossbows

JConcepts Sevens, Crowbars & Crossbows

New from Florida based JConcepts are 3 new tires types, Sevens, Crowbars & Crossbows. Sevens are a result of 2-years of research and development on the world and national 1/8th buggy circuit. They incorporate the small pin design of the Double Dee’s combined with directional and functional undertones which produce increased grip while reducing wear. Wear is always the trade off when going to a small pin tire and with the Sevens these worries are a thing of the past. Running qualifiers and main events on the same quick tire is now possible. Combining the unique Sevens lug technology with the sticky yellow and blue compound allow the flexibility necessary to compete on even the most demanding surfaces for an extended period of time. These new tires excel on hard packed or blue groove conditions where the track surface has started to take rubber. Available in Medium Yellow or Soft Blue compounds.
