JConcepts Swiper 1:8 and SCT Dirt Oval tyre
JConcepts has introduced their Swiper tyre which has been in development since 2021 and is intended for 1:8 Dirt Oval racing. Designed to compete on dirt oval track surfaces which require a hefty treaded tire that can go the distance, the Swiper tyre can pull double duty for SCT based vehicles and 1:8 buggy inspired dirt oval vehicles in a variety of conditions. The 2.2 x 3.0” bead-based diameters work well with all SCT wheels and JConcepts own wheel specifically designed for 1:8 dirt oval vehicles. The profiled carcass is advanced with deep pads of directional tread poised to bite specific surfaces. The platform has a heavy center bar section of tread that provides openings and can help drive a vehicle in wet or slightly loamy conditions. The side tread is equally spaced, grooved and cut to slice through the dust, marbles, and small debris associated with dirt oval racing. The inner carcass includes ribbing to help brace and support the lower end of the sidewall while a specially built firm closed cell insert supports the upper sidewall and top of the carcass. The Swiper tyre is available in blue (soft), Aqua A2 (medium soft long-wear) compounds. The included Dirt-Cell insert is a harder based material, stealth black in colour, with minimal sculpting to provide the most amount of support for increased durability and drive-ability.
