Press Release From JConcepts:
www.jconcepts.net

JConcepts unveils an all-new all-terrain tire from their design department. The Scorpios, scale looking tread and tough realistic profile, jump out as the most obvious features. Starting by analyzing the tread, the design team focused on a closely knit tread arranging them in a pattern closely resembling a 1:1 scale tire. The padded arrangement of tread makes the tire ideal for transitioning from the hard road to dirt and then into rocky and uneven terrain. Once power is applied to the vehicle, the tread spacing opens which allows for some deep digging, making it a great working tire in dirt and muddy conditions.

The Scorpios are designed and pre-mounted for the Losi Mini-T 2.0 and Mini-B (rear). Each tread block has finely cut edges with a healthy radius where the block meets the tire body. Each block features slight cuts on top to open and create some sling space while the outer most lug extends down the sidewall to stiffen the upper carcass and increase the pinch grip. The flexibility of the compound combined with the close arrangement gives the tire a grippy feel but still maintains that all important look. 

The height provides plenty of ground clearance for an abundance of terrain with the low-profile nature maintains its upright structure during hard loads and on power bursts. The tires include an open cell insert capable of standing up to the super soft compound but flexible enough for sharp terrain. Prepare your Mini-T or Mini-B (rear) for competition or appearance with the Scorpios from JConcepts.

Features:

  • Tight knit design, 1:1 inspired
  • Available pre-mounted for Losi Mini-T 2.0, Mini-B (rear)
  • Super Soft, Green compound
  • Large sidewall lugs for pinch grip
  • Open lug cuts and slits for extra edges
  • Gridded internal ribbing for hard loads
  • Includes open cell inserts
  • Available in bright white or fluorescent yellow

The Ellipse, named after the center bar, built into the tread, is a compliment to successful JConcepts tires already in the line-up. 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 center section of the tire 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 is unique and have a directional touch giving the racer the ultimate tune-ability.

Available now for the Losi Mini-B (front) the pre-mounted Ellipse tire is mounted on newly designed Mono front wheel available in bright white and fluorescent yellow colors. Jason Ruona explains, “The Ellipse front tire has a slightly wider carcass, it allows the driver to attack high-speed sections with more comfort and smooths the steering of a 2wd buggy. The “home plate” and connected web of tread has a large footprint and 1000’s of edges to produce steering connection. Connected tread wears together which is useful racing indoors where a racer requires surface area to produce steering.”

Pair the new front Ellipse for the Mini-B with the #4004 Ellipse rear for the ultimate indoor and grooved outdoor track conditions. The combination of the aggressive and directional tread pattern applied through the sticky green compound works very well in a variety of racing conditions. JConcepts support for mini off-road is at a high point with the release of a full line-up of tires, wheels, and bodies suited to the racetrack and for backyard bashing. JConcepts is, World Proven Innovation and Design.

Features:

  • Ellipse center-bar control and support
  • Diamond “home plate” design with extension webs
  • Available pre-mounted for Mini-B (front)
  • Super Soft, Green compound
  • Includes open cell foam inserts
  • Available in bright white or fluorescent yellow

The Swagger 2wd front tire for the Losi Mini-B has a multitude of heights and angular ribs for corning speed, consistency, and straight-line tracking ability. The Swagger has shown to produce ultra-fast lap times while also being easier to drive than other options on the market. The front tires are designed and pre-mounted on newly designed Mono front wheels and available in bright white and fluorescent yellow.

The ultra-low-profile carcass keeps the Mini 2wd buggy very predictable and consistent in high-grip conditions while pointing the vehicle in the correct direction. The pink compound marked on the sidewall of the tire represents a carpet and AstroTurf compound for JConcepts. The Swagger front tire includes and mounted with open cell insert for increased support, rolling speed, and overall control.

Features:

  • JConcepts fit, finish, and design
  • Offset, multiple height, angular ribs
  • Low-profile carcass for increased response
  • Carefully shaped carcass for rolling speed
  • Available pre-mounted for Mini-B (front)
  • Carpet | Astroturf proven pink compound
  • Includes open cell foam inserts
  • Available in bright white or fluorescent yellow

Jason Ruona explains, “The Ellipse has a slightly smaller carcass, it allows the driver to attack high-speed sections with more comfort. The “home plate” and connected web of tread has more stability high-speed and holds the tire together for today’s high-powered vehicles. Connected tread wears significantly better which is useful racing indoors where a racer can break-in and race with the same pair all weekend.”

Pair the new rear Ellipse for the Mini-T and Mini-B with the #4002 Ellipse front for the ultimate indoor and grooved outdoor track conditions. The combination of the aggressive and directional tread pattern applied through the sticky green compound works very well in a variety of racing conditions. JConcepts support for mini off-road is at a high point with the release of a full line-up of tires, wheels, and bodies suited to the racetrack and for backyard bashing.

  • Ellipse center-bar control and support
  • Diamond “home plate” design with extension webs

  • Super Soft, Green compound

The Twin Pins are a new ground-breaking design which have not only, turned some heads, but have the competition, scratching their heads. The Twin Pins feature a dual spike which is connected to form a mini mountain like silhouette. The Twins are rotated throughout the design to form a solid, pin rich environment so surface area is maximized. The tire carcass itself has been refined, slammed to low-profile, high-speed standards, and slimmed out to reduce weight in all possible areas.

The center section of the tire is connected at the base by an ultra-low, winding “river walk” which strengthens pins near the base. The “river walk” can also extend the longevity of the tire once the pins are gone, the “walk” retains some height for emergency long distance main events. The outside of a tire can make or break side-bite, too much pin and the tire can be somewhat tippy, while not enough yields a squirrely vehicle. The very outside of the Twin Pins have legs which extend out to micro pins giving the racer all-important support turning high-speed corners.

The Mini-T and Mini-B now have a carpet tire favorite pre-mounted and available in bright white and fluorescent yellow colors. The pink compound marked on the sidewall of the tire represents a carpet and AstroTurf compound for JConcepts. The Twin Pin rear tire includes and mounted with open cell insert for increased support, rolling speed, and overall control.

Features:

  • JConcepts fit, finish and design
  • Available pre-mounted for Mini-T 2.0 (front/rear), Mini-B (rear)
  • Dual, connected pin with alternating positioning
  • “River walk” of center pin support
  • Sidewall legs with micro pins
  • Carefully shaped profiled carcass for rolling speed
  • Carpet | Astroturf proven pink compound
  • Includes open cell inserts
  • Available in bright white or fluorescent yellow
