JConcepts have introduced a protective chassis sticker set for the TLR 22X-4 4WD buggy. The pre-cut decal prevents the bottom of the chassis from becoming overly scratched or damaged when running on abrasive surface or on tracks with large jumps. The durable and resilient material fits each chassis like a glove and adds protection and style in one easy package. Each set includes two decal sheets as well as spare front and rear “skid plates” that can be used to replace worn sticker areas.
JConcepts have introduced their Ellipse 1/8th buggy tyre in silver compound. The Ellipse, named after the centre bar built into the tread, is a compliment to successful tyres such as the Dirt Webs and Bar Codes. 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 Dirt Webs have been an industry leader for indoor performance and often chosen as a control tyre for performance, reliability and consistency. The compound of choice for most indoor events, the exclusive gold and silver compound, has shown to produce consistent results for racers week after week. Included in each package, the Dirt-Tech closed cell inserts known for their durable nature and grey colour complete the race tuned package.
