JConcepts Ellipse SCT tyre

JConcepts have introduced the Ellipse SCT tyre for 1/10th scale short course 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 tire 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 utilizing a diamond “home plate” footprint to provide massive surface area for better footprint and increased longevity. The web of extensions are unique and have a directional touch giving the racer the ultimate tune-ability. The Dirt Web tyre was originally released during the 2013 racing season and debuted in spectacular fashion with a win at the CRCRC Midwest Championships. Since that time, the Dirt Webs have been an industry leader for indoor performance and often chosen as a control tyre for performance, reliability and consistency. During 2016, the Space Bars were introduced to a victory at the 1/10th Off-Road Nationals in the hands of Ryan Maifield in the 4WD modified class. The Ellipse tyres are available in a selection of compounds such as green, aqua and the ROAR National Champion, silver compound. As a rule of thumb, green compound is conditioned to perform outdoors while aqua and silver remain the favourites indoors. Included in each package, the Dirt-Tech closed cell inserts known for their durable nature and gray colour complete the race tuned package.
