JConcepts Fuzz Bite & Pin Swag carpet tires

JConcepts have introduced two new carpet tires, the Fuzz Bite and the Pin Swag. The Fuzz Bite lands on a low-profile carcass carried over from tires such as the Twin Pin. The low stance provides quick transition at high-speed and minimises side-wall deflection and roll. The pin is specially built in a reverse ‘water tower’ shape planting the larger base at the bottom and narrowing at the top for precision. The pins are placed in a radius and repeated about for a healthy nest of pins to dig deep into matting in office carpet or tight knit CRC carpeting. The alternating rows of pins provides side-bite, and the tightness gives forward traction. The arrangement of the pins promotes good wear characteristics and traction longevity. The Fuzz Bite incorporates a small radial rib on the outside with angular cross to give consistent cornering but also forward mid-corner launch grip. Available in for the rear as well as in 2wd and 4wd front varieties.

HotRace have introduced their newest product for the 1/8 on road class, called Lens tires. These new onroad tires present a different foam propriety and an innovative rim material that isn’t affected by different weather conditions. In a change from the usual shore rating, these new tires will be represented with colours, red for super soft, green for soft and light blue for medium, with a further option for normal or high grip conditions, the latter sporting an additional white dot next to the shore colour. Also new is that you can add the included Lexan Lens disc (LLD) to make the car more comfortable in the corner. The result of 10 months of hard work and development, these tires do not replace their current 1/8 on road tires and are just an additional product for this class. Supplied in a box and sold as a complete set of 4, the Italian brand plans to produce only 300 sets every month and you will find on each box the month and the number of production.
