JConcepts have released the 3Ds 1/10th buggy race tire in blue, green and orange compounds. Developed to be the ultimate slick-groove tire, the 3Ds are a first to combine the high-stability design of a black groove bar tire into an individually flexible pattern of finely spaced Double Dee lugs in one package. As racing on both indoor and outdoor conditions have matured, a more flexible, supremely grippy tire design was necessary to drive the edgy, fast pace. The 3Ds grip are a new, highly sought after, favorite in these conditions. Also making its debut is the Inverse, 2-piece 12mm hex wheel for the B4.1 and B44.1. The 2-piece design provides several benefits for maximum performance and ease of use. The inner wheel comes standard in a stealth, black matte finish providing the driver a look and feel never seen before. In addition, the inner wheel is designed as a completely smooth surface for the cleanest fit and finish which resists debris build-up.

Answer RC have released these silicone tyre bands, made to be super stretchy and ultra long life with no loss of shape over time. They make the job of tyre gluing a far more straightforward and faster task, no more wishing you had three hands, no more waiting on a part to glue before moving to the next one. Supplied in packs of 4pcs.
JConcepts brought several new products to show and use at this week’s 26th Pro-Line Cactus Classic. First up is the Pressure Points truck tire that makes use of the tread recently introduced with the Pressure Points short course tire. The latest low-height tread option is specifically designed to tame high-speed courses with either wet or blue groove traction conditions. The tread starts as an angular, low pin design as a carryover from the Bar Codes front tire and sports small points combined with Y elements to achieve a maximum in penetration and tack. The inner side-wall has built-in ribbing which limits carcass collapse and increases support on the outside during hard cornering and driving.

Sweep Racing have released their new Tendroid 1/10 offroad front tire with grey medium foam. Just like its big brother 10Droids front will works best on indoor clay surfaces and there will also be a tyre only version for the drivers who wish to use their own inserts. Also new from Sweep are these flexible nozzle for glue bottles. The 2 step neck design is usable on all our Sweep glue bottles and thanks to the precision molding work, this nozzle keeps glue from leaking. If it gets clogged, you can trim the nozzle back a little at a time for extended life of glue.
New from JConcepts, the Hybirds for 1/10th features a mid-lug design with unique inner Crowbar center lug DNA. The Hybrid is built for speed on medium to high traction conditions and the ultimate high-speed control, handling, durability and corner speed. Supported lug control and X-braced sidewall lug detail is designed to go the distance in long qualifiers, final main events and beyond. Available in Soft (Blue) and Super Soft (Green) compounds. There are also new medium profiled 1/10th buggy rear inserts which are a more durable insert in a softer density. Having an insert with proper density for track conditions pays dividends to the racer and especially toward the end of races. Finally there is the 1/10th, 1/8th and SCT Striker setup board w/ foam pad. Having a portable, convenient and flat working surface allows a driver to make necessary pit adjustments with speed, consistency and accuracy. The bottom can be outfitted with the included foam pad which adds depth, work space and a flexible footing for irregular surfaces.
The JConcepts Double Dees tire is perfect for a variety of track surfaces. Wear is always the trade off when going to a small pin tire and with the Double Dees for Short Course, these worries have been minimized. Running qualifiers and main events on the same high performance tire is now possible. The Double Dees design is a world leading tire combination right out of the package, the unique technology combined with compounds such as the new gold compound allow the flexibility necessary to compete on even the most demanding surfaces for an extended period of time. Double Dees in gold compound excel on indoor hard packed surfaces with either dry or wet conditions.
