JConcepts SCT Landmines 2.2 x 3.0″ tires

Continuing to expand their Landmines lineup, JConcepts have created an all-new 2.2” x 3.0” performance all-terrain SCT tire. The Landmines, developed over a 2-year period of testing, tuning and analysis have reached the summit and now available to the SCT enthusiast. The design starts with a robust carcass carefully shaped and sized for a multitude of conditions and capable of driving over a variety of terrain while being down-to-earth enough to carry a scale appearance. The team spent considerable time with the split-block centre design which has been sliced, stepped, and recessed for flexibility and contortion over sharp, loose, and polished surfaces. The Landmines have alternating solid and cavity pads which is ideal for transitioning from smooth dirt or pavement into dirt, mud, and rocky terrain. Moving toward the edges of the carcass, the SCT tire has horizontal grippy pads with edge and channels to provide additional forward climbing bite.

JConcepts RC10 & RC10 Worlds car titanium turnbuckles

JConcepts introduces a stylish, durable, and lightweight alternative Titanium turnbuckle kit for the popular original Team Associated RC10 and RC10 Classic vehicles in black colour. The base of the shafts design is centred around a .143” titanium hex size which gradually tapers down into a 3mm thread base design which accepts standard AE ball-cup configurations. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment hex area and the ‘fin’ cuts that rotate about the centre. The Fin turnbuckles are lightweight, and the original design brings out the glamour and quality that makes titanium one of the most sought, after exotic materials in the world. The JConcepts turnbuckles are produced with left- and right-hand threads with the left being conveniently marked for easy orientation. There are two sets, both include 8 pieces, which covers a complete RC10 & RC10 Classic or RC10 Championship Edition, Team car & Worlds car, including servo to steering turnbuckle and centre link between driving and idler bell crank.

JConcepts 1989 Ford Bronco MT body

JConcepts likes to lean on its roots, and dating back, there hasn’t been an RC monster truck version of the Ford Bronco available, until now. Starting with the F-150 and F-250 body shells already in the line-up, the JConcepts team dug into the Bronco project with some knowledge of the game. The 1989 Ford Bronco body built and fit for RC monster truck lovers offers first class styling and its exterior is accentuated with a smooth and molded front bumper. The 1989 Bronco carries over the same body style from the previous generation yet sports a new rounded front clip that improves vehicle aerodynamics over its predecessors. The softened body lines around the cab which transition to the Bronco’s rear roof seem very seamlessly and full of vintage grunt. Large fender flares around the wheel wells provide the scale monster truck look and clearance for JConcepts Racing Tires.

JConcepts Landmines pre-mounted for Traxxas UDR

JConcepts now offer their Landmines performance scale tire for the Traxxas UDR. Available pre-mounted on the new Tremor Traxxas UDR front & rear wheel, which is also available seperately, the design starts with a robust carcass carefully shaped and sized for a multitude of conditions and capable of bashing those difficult courses while being down-to-earth enough to carry a scale appearance. The team spent considerable time with the split-block center design which has been sliced, stepped, and recessed for flexibility and contortion over sharp, loose, and polished surfaces. The Landmines have alternating solid and cavity pads which is ideal for transitioning from smooth dirt or pavement into dirt, mud, and rocky terrain. Moving toward the edges of the carcass, the tire has horizonal grippy pads with edge and channels to provide additional forward bite. Down within the tread, a lightning pattern, knob plots and connector bars pull the design together to work together at shallow and deep sinking positions. Once power is applied to the vehicle, the tread spacing opens which allows for deep digging, making it a great working tire in dirt and muddy conditions. As the tread rolls down the sidewall, a whole new course of tread and side-lugging is applied. A grippy radial ring provides a consistent rubber contact patch in high-speed conditions while in the vertical plane, new traction bars alternate between angular and island mapping for additional grip.

JConcepts 1/10th off-road & dirt oval ReHab tires

Fresh out of the development lab at JConcepts, the ReHab tires are the latest tire for 1/10th buggy racing. Based on its larger cousin, the Detox, the ReHab tire brings all the details of a successful tire into a smaller tread package for smoother track conditions, consistent racing and high-end performance for dirt off-road and oval racing. The design revolves around the centre structure which has medium sized, dense lugs arranged in a horizontal configuration. The lugs have strategically placed cuts and grooves to allow flex in dusty conditions to perform even if the track is deteriorating. The outer portion of the tread fits together like building blocks, with shapes placed together that nest well but also work together to flex laterally to provide steadfast side-bite. The tread tapers off cleanly to the outer sidewall giving a smooth transition during hard cornering. JConcepts tires include the latest insert for a variety of conditions on the circuit including dirt oval racing and are available for the 2.2″ rear as well as 2.2″ and 4wd front and in blue, green and aqua A2 compounds.

Continuing their 1/24 releases, JConcepts have also release new tires for the category, the Landmines and the Tusk. The Landmines design, developed for 1/24th scale trucks starts with a robust carcass carefully shaped and sized for a multitude of conditions and capable of completing those difficult courses while being down-to-earth enough to carry a scale appearance. The team spent considerable time with the split-block centre design which has been sliced, stepped, and recessed for flexibility and contortion over sharp, loose, and polished surfaces. The Landmines have alternating solid and cavity pads which is ideal for transitioning from smooth dirt or pavement into dirt, mud, and rocky terrain. Moving toward the edges of the carcass, the scaling tire has horizontal grippy pads with edges and channels to provide additional forward climbing bite. Down within the tread, a lightning pattern, knob plots and connector bars pull the design together to work together at shallow and deep sinking positions. Once power is applied to the vehicle, the tread spacing opens which allows for deep digging, making it a great working tire in dirt and muddy conditions. As the tread rolls down the sidewall, a whole new course of tread and side-lugging is applied. A grippy radial ring provides a consistent rubber contact patch in pinched conditions while in the vertical plane, new traction bars alternate between angular and island mapping for squeeze grip.
