JConcepts LiL Chasers 1/8th buggy tyre

JConcepts have introduced the LiL Chasers 1/8th buggy tyre. Relying on a tread scaled down from the original Chasers, the small, rectangular lugs are angular in multiple directions, giving the tyre the ultimate bite for outdoor racing. It also has a lower, closer lug arrangement which gives exceptional responsiveness and bite in medium, high and low grip conditions. The wet and dry condition tyre has small recessed cuts in the top of the tread for extra edges and increased formability over terrain while the centre’s overlapping bar treatment increases durability in the highest wear region. The tyre is available in blue, green and black compound including Dirt-Tech inserts and also as pre-mounted green compound tyre.

JConcepts Triple Dees 1/8th buggy tyres

Coming from JConcepts are the Triple Dees 1/8th buggy tyres. The tyres sport a tread design that was developed for loose and tacky track conditions. Starting with finely spaced square mini lugs the tyre also features an overlapping and blended centre bar structure. The bar draws up the side of the pin to maintain all important support but the main stance is low so the tyre maintains its clean-out ability during acceleration. The main-stay of the tyre is the angled and sharp pins which spread across the carcass in an open pattern touching off the track surface. Near the side-wall the pins have been trimmed and angled to give racers a smooth driving experience as they enter and exit tacky turns or slightly rough terrain. The inside of the carcass includes a standardised triple radial rib design which helps control expansion during high-speed runs. The Triple Dees is available in grippy compounds such has blue, green and black and it comes including Dirt-Tech inserts and also as pre-mounts on white or yellow wheels.
