MOD ‘Jericho’ 1:5 Offroad Tyres

1:5 Offroad racing specialists MOD has entered the tyre market, Matt Olson’s company releasing the Jericho tire intended for the Losi 5B/5T.  From years of racing at the highest level and knowing the market, MOD has taken inspiration design aspects from the most well known tires on the market.  The Jericho could be described as a design fusion between the JConcepts Reflex and the Proline Fugitive (discontinued) with some MOD flair.  The inner lug row being larger then the outer due to our tires not being flippable.  After many years of having been subject to a single compound but maybe different treads, the Jericho comes in 3 compounds – soft, medium, and hard. The MOD tire design features elements seen in tires we have all loved in the current space including the small square pin but with some added features including the centre offset bar that will help with overall wear as well as the driver can clip every other center nub creating a small paddle for those loamy rough tracks. With a nice overall tread perfect for all race track conditions both loamy and hard packed the tire is easily tunable with the compounds provided.

2025 SIGP Offroad Chassis Focus Index

China’s top annual international offroad race, the 2025 Sunpadow International Grand Prix (SIGP) once again earned itself a reputation of being ‘challenging’, the 3 Circles track one where suspension set-up is critical.  Only the second edition of the race since its return to the former 1:10 Offroad World Championship venue following a 4-year break, World Champions Bruno Coelho and David Ronnefalk returned knowing what to expect.  For newcomers like Kouki Kato, who would go on to take the nitro win, Pekko Iivonen, and young Korean talent Jung Hyunkyu, the track would be a completely new experience that would test their set-up skills on a new level.  Ronnefalk summed up the SIGP track very well when he said, ‘You’re not justing battling the other guy, I feel like more here you are battling the track out there so that’s offroad.  It’s not many times you race on a track like this anymore so it’s good to feel what it used to be like in the old days I guess.’  With shocks the big focus of drivers, Belgian shock components specialist brand TRC busy assisting many drivers with getting their buggies dialled in, getting our hands on buggies for our Chassis Focus proved a little more challenging than normal as drivers switched shocks between Nitro and eBuggy.  In the end we managed to feature 10 buggies from 6 drivers and 4 different manufacturers and we have compiled them in our latest Chassis Focus Index.
