Improving upon the already successful Double Dees wasn't easy. The new version, dubbed Triple Dees, is a ground-up re-design bringing the latest tire technology that includes an overlapped bar section that runs down the middle of the tire. The new pattern provides better wear characteristcs and forward traction, and has been the tire of choice for Ryan Maifield here at the DNC.

JConcepts 1/8th scale Lil' Chasers are a smaller-pinned version of the original Chaser tire that is designed to improve responsiveness and bite on all types of conditions and grip levels. The recessed pins, specially-designed carcass and the close pin placement are all designed to construct the ultimate outdoor tire.

The JConcepts Fin titanium turnbuckles have a style like no other and will be soon available for the TLR 8ight 4.0 buggies. Not only providing durability, lightweight, and performance the Fin titanium turnbuckles also gives you the awesome bling factor.

Lastly, Jason gave us a sneak peak at a new 1/8-scale wing dubbed the Hybrid. Thick, durable, and designed with a plastic, adjustable gurney flap that comes in 2 sizes and screws into the Lexan wing for support. This wing looks like a game changer. There is also a removable plastic center section that adds a pair vertical fins for extra high speed stability. Also included in the kit are two types of wing buttons: one designed for screws and the other set for body clips. Check out the pics below for an inside look.
