JConcepts have announced some new tire updates including the release of their new super soft green compound for their SC Goose Bumps. This new super sticky compound excels on dusty surface conditions. The U.S. company as also released their Double Dees in orange compound making them perfect for a variety of track surfaces and in particular black groove abrasive tracks. The Double Dees design is a world leading tire combination right out of the package, the unique technology combined with abrasive specific compounds like orange allow the flexibility necessary to compete on even the most demanding surfaces for an extended period of time.
AKA have announced the release of the Cityblock SC and Gridiron SC tires designed specifically for the 1/10 short course trucks. Made to fit the stock wheels from all the popular short course trucks, they feature a 2.2”/3” bead design and an inner carcass design made to perfectly fit the industry standard AKA closed cell foams. The result is a much more controlled outer sidewall for more consistent handling and tread wear. The Cityblock pattern is their best selling tread pattern and will be the most versatile SC tire available, while the Gridiron is suited to high bite blue grooved tracks with little dust where a short pin is a must to keep the truck consistent. AKA have also released the Cyclone SC wheel that fit all standard 2.2″/3″ short course tires and are compatible with Associated, HPI, Jammin, Kyosho and Traxxas trucks. All wheels are made from the same proprietary nylon blend as the the 1:8 AKA wheels and will be released in black and come two to a bag. Expect September releases for all products.
