JConcepts Axial Yeti Vengeance 2.2″ wheels

JConcepts Axial Yeti Vengeance 2.2

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Axial Yeti equipped with 2.2″ tyres are the new 2.2″ Axial Yeti 12mm glue-on wheels. The 8-spoke 1-piece wheel is a smooth design, incorporating a triangle type cut-out of spokes around the centre for heavy street appeal. The design leaves the natural colour of the wheel showing inside the spokes which adds a touch of mystery and depth. In-between the spoke design rests the dividing sections which break up the pattern adding a bit of bite to the overall design. The entire face of the wheel has been plated with a silver coating which gives the Yeti owner a little more luxurious look to match-up to a variety of imaginary looks. Each package contains four wheels, 12mm plastic hexes, wheel adaptors to give the user a front and rear wheel offset and hardware to make the installation complete. The adaptors attach with the included eight, 2.5x8mm screws to provide beefy security. In addition, each wheel includes a solid and open centre cap which are attached with the included eight, 2.5x6mm socket head cap screws.

Pro-Line Prime 1/8th tyre & compound updates

Pro-Line’s Prime slick tyre is now also available in a variant for 1/8th off-road buggies while the U.S. company also introduce the Fugitive and Suppressor tyres in hard X1 compound. Starting with the Prime, the tyre formerly was only available for 1/10th vehicles and now it finds its way into 1/8th racing also. The special design targets racing on prepped clay tracks where slick tyres can be an advantage. It features unique grooves that add traction and stability when the track is freshly watered or when there is a slight layer of thin dust that would cause a traditional slick tyre to just spin. The raised treaded portion of the Prime tyre has a distinctive rough surface texture similar to a ground slick and makes the tyre have maximum performance right out of the package. As for the Fugitive and Suppressor, the tyres now come in the firm X1 compound, ideal for demanding track conditions or when racing in high ambient temperatures.
