JConcepts Drop Step rear & Pin Swag 4WD front tyres
JConcepts has added two new additions to its extensive 1:10 Buggy tyre range, the Drop Step 2.2″ rear tire and the Pin Swag, 2.2″ 4WD front tyre. The Drop Step is a step pin type tyre but with large hexagon shaped base features doubled up and offset to create more edges and surfaces to bite and grip in deep conditions. Long pins extend off the hex designs and reach into the depths of racing surfaces. The drafted pin angle has a stout base and increases flexibility near the peak for delicate bite. Designed in the industry standard 2.2” bead mounting size, the Drop Step is very versatile and has shown to work in many artificial conditions. The Pin Swag tire combines the outer lugs of a JConcepts Swagger front tire with the dense arrangement of specialty pins. Now optimised as a 4WD front tyre, the pins themselves are round and crisp to the top where they climax to a point. Near the sidewall, the Swag enters with a smooth transition and drops off to a ledge giving steering control. The Swag is split down the centre to give a little individual control to contort to surfaces. In between, a stagger section with angular front is placed just behind a vertical rib to complete the design. The tight spacing of the Pin and Swag bite together and minimise wear across the carcass.
