The Bar Code design is the freshest new SCT tire design from JConcepts racing development and regardless of class and scale the Bar Codes equals top notch performance. Like the name suggests the alternating bar design combined with the addition of the Y side bars provide uncompromising support for blue and black groove conditions as well as wet track indoor conditions. Available in Super Soft Green Compound the Bar Codes are a specialty tire that when matched to the appropriate track can provide amazing results. They are a part of the JConcepts special breed of tire, designed for maximum performance when new or used as the design allows even wear all the way down to the tire body. Bar Codes in new condition excel on hard surfaces that have taken rubber with either dry or wet grooved conditions. Worn Bar Codes excel on indoor or outdoor clay tracks where a minimal dust groove has formed.

Also new from JConcepts is this Illuzion Kyosho Ultima SC overtray which helps protects chassis from excessive debris.

With the JConcepts over-tray these worries are minimized with the simple and functional item. Fitting nicely under the body it hugs the outside dimension of the SC chassis protecting the inside from unwanted excess dirt and debris build-up during racing conditions. The over-tray is snug around the entire chassis structure while being attached with hook and loop tape around the sides and a slide-in fit in the front for easy access. The over-tray is built with extra height and rake to provide extra room for various electrical and battery configurations.
