2019 JConcepts Stock Nationals – Report

The JConcepts Stock Nationals were held at OC RC Raceway in Huntington Beach, California last weekend. Expert 2WD Buggy was the perfect race for Team Associated’s Kyle Layton as he set the TQ and ran away with the win in the 10-minute A-final. With his polished, smooth driving style and starting from pole, Kyle was going to be hard to beat. From the very first lap, he was maximum push and lead the way from tone to tone to take a very impressive win. Yokomo’s Jake Thayer also drove brilliantly and displayed his stock speed and finished 5 seconds back from Kyle for 2nd. Team Associated’s AJ Marasco delivered a terrific run to land himself 3rd on the podium, which is quite the feat since he hasn’t made the main at the JConcepts Stock Nationals prior.

JConcepts Dirt Webs Aqua A2 front tyre

JConcepts’ popular Dirt Webs 1/10th buggy front tyre is now also available in the Aqua A2 compound. Debuted at the 2018 ROAR 1/10th Nationals, and also used in the IFMAR World Championships in Perth Australia, the Aqua compound was the speedy option for the ultra dry, dusty groove conditions in both scales. The new compound labeled as Aqua A2 works alongside the traditional blue or R2 compound, however, it is much more friendly in these special indoor and outdoor conditions seen in the new generation. The Aqua is not a replacement for any compound but used as an alternative in warm and hot weather conditions and abrasive tracks.

JConcepts Ellipse stadium truck tyre

JConcepts’ Ellipse tyre is now also available in a variant for 1/10th scale stadium trucks. The Ellipse, named after the centre bar built into the tread, is a compliment to successful tyres such as the Dirt Webs and Space Bars. The web-style tyre was built to compete on smooth high-grip indoor and outdoor surfaces which require a finely detailed connected bar pattern. The centre section of the tyre is a home run utilising a diamond “home plate” footprint to provide massive forward bite and increased longevity. The web of extensions are unique and have a directional touch giving the racer the ultimate tune-ability. The tyre has already won a Stock National title in the hands of Matthew Gonzalez at the 2019 JConcepts Stock Nationals at OCRC Raceway. The compound of choice for most indoor events, the exclusive gold compound, has shown to produce consistent results for racers week after week. Now, the Ellipse is also available in the traditional favourites, blue, green and black compound. Included in each package, the Dirt-Tech closed cell inserts known for their durable nature and gray color complete the race tuned package.
