JConcepts Goose Bumps 1/10th Tires

JConcepts Goose Bumps 1/10th Tires

JConcepts have released the Goose Bumps tire for use on a variety of 1/10th scale chassis’. The totally unique step pin and bar lug design combined with sticky compounds like green allow even greater control on slightly loamy and wet conditions. A special breed, they have been 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. Incorporating a compact tire body with a crisp tread pattern with precise separation for intense racing competition, in new condition they excel on soft surfaces with either dry or wet conditions, while worn versions excel on indoor or outdoor clay tracks where a slight groove has formed. Supplied with firm And-1 foam inserts they are available for 2.2” buggy rear wheel, 2.2” 4wd front wheel and 2.2” truck wheel
