JConcepts president Jason Ruona states, “This is a great opportunity for us to establish this relationship with a terrific and still upcoming 1/8th driver. We want to provide a steady base of communication, support and experience while utilizing great speed to further develop our products. We take great pride in developing drivers and in this case, we want to help Cole get over the top and race among the greats for years to come.” Look for Cole to begin his racing with JConcepts in early 2015 at the Colonels Classic in Savannah, GA, before the team turns their attention to the worldwide opener, The Dirt Nitro Challenge in February.

JConcepts’ Dirt Webs tyre is now also available in an 1/8th buggy variant. Developed by Brian Kinwald and Jason Ruona the indoor-specific tyre has already proven its performance in 1/10th buggy racing and now the clay tread is also available for the 1/8th class. Originally based on the popular Pressure Points, the tyre design connects uniformly positioned Web-Bars to create an amazingly stable tyre. During 2014, the design was converted to use on a 1/8th buggy carcass and debuted during the 1/8th E-buggy ROAR Nationals in Houston, Texas. The Dirt Web tread sits on the proven JConcepts 1/8th tyre carcass giving a low-profile, wide-body appearance allowing clipped tread to extend all the way to the outer edges. The carefully shaped profile allows a great balance of monster forward traction and comfortable side-bite. Available in multiple compounds and including closed cell inserts, the Dirt Webs can easily be matched to any track conditions ranging from indoor clay, indoor dirt to outdoor hard-packed or treated clay or dirt.

JConcepts introduce the popular Dirt Webs tyres in new 60mm 2.4″ specification. The tread was originally designed in 2012 by Brian Kinwald and Jason Ruona and it immediately showed exceptional results at races such as the Hot Rod Shootout. During the early stages of 2014, the team experimented with a larger 60mm 2.4″ bead mounting diameter at events such as the Cactus Classic and Surf City Classic. In the hands of Spencer Rivkin, the 60mm tyre and wheel combination displayed advantageous performance in high-grip conditions thanks to the taller bead combined with the included 60mm Dirt-Tech inserts. The tyre is available as 2WD front, 4WD front and general rear variant in blue, green, gold, silver, black and red compound.
