Losi Digit, King Pin G2 and BK bar tires

Losi Digit, King Pin G2 and BK bar tires

New from Losi is their Digit pattern for 1/8th buggy which is now available in Losi’s exclusive red compound. The new multi-level pin design is a two stage square pin design that is supported by a large base pin and provides excellent wear. The tire is highly versatile as it works on multiple track conditions from loose and loamy conditions to hard pack blue groove tracks. Losi molded inserts are provided and known for their perfect balance and are very lightweight. The new Losi King Pin G2 is now also available in Losi’s exclusive red compound which works excellent on medium to high grip tracks and provides excellent wear. The new small square pin design provides immense traction on hard packed tracks, while the new center bar design provides increased forward traction. No pin is located between the center bar designs which allows for great forward drive, making out-of-the corner jumps much easier. Losi’s BK Bar proved to have incredible forward traction while maintaining great side bite with tremendous longevity and is now available for the 1/10th Off-road Truck class in pink, red, and silver compounds. The tire can be used on the front and rear of truck for optimum traction on hard packed surfaces. It is also available as a 1/10th 4wd front tire in red and pink compounds and has proven to smooth out steering going into the turn while offering improved forward traction on corner exit on hard packed surfaces.

JConcepts MBX-6 Punisher & 2.2″ Flip Outs

JConcepts MBX-6 Punisher & 2.2" Flip Outs

New from JConcepts is the Punisher body for the Mugen MBX-6. The radical new Punisher body features the slight cab-forward treatment which is amongst the most aggressive in class giving the Punisher top notch performance. Blended wing / body design gives additional down-force to the side-pods and windshield which increases drivability, corner speed and jump control. The rear base of the cab area represents the latest offering for 1/8th buggy racing featuring a super low profile design for increased engine cooling, air flow and escape. Also new are these Flip Outs, giving drivers that tire in-between the Goose Bumps and Double Dees they have asked for.  A very small pin construction makes up the foundation for the Flip Outs design and gives the grip when the conditions are wet and green in the morning, when traction is sometimes hard to come-by. These tires are now available in green compound for both the 2.2″ 4wd front wheel and the 2.2″ truck wheel.
