Following the Hi-Flow Short Course body shell, JConcepts introduce another new product during this week’s 2011 ROAR Electric Off-Road Nationals. The Hazard 12mm hex wheel for Associated SC10 and SC10 4×4 kits features a 10 spoke design, bead-lock appearance and centre lug nut detail. The Hazard will make an immediate impact on the performance of the SC10 trucks by widening the stance of the truck by 6mm in overall width. The increased width will maximise the SC10 and bring it up to the ROAR maximum legal limits in dimensional width. The wheels should be available soon.
