JConcepts Mini-B/T Scorpios, Ellipse, Swagger & Twin Pin

JConcepts have introduced a whole load of new premounted tires for the Losi Mini-T 2.0 & Mini-B. First up are the Scorpios featuring a scale looking tread and tough realistic profile. 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.

Pro-Line Interco Super Swamper Crawler tires

Under official license from Interco Tire Corporation, Pro-Line is proud to announce the gnarliest tire yet for the 1/6 SCX6 rock crawler, the legendary Super Swamper TSL SX. With ‘almost scale’ not being acceptable and access to Interco’s design data, Pro-Line’s engineering staff has reproduced the original Super Swamper in a scale configuration matched by none. At a massive 7.15″ tall by 3″ wide, the Swamper adds a whole new style to your rig, perfectly combining scale looks with the legendary G8 compound for unmatched rock crawling performance. The full-size Super Swamper TSL SX features the ultimate tire tread design by pairing the distinctive chevron tread pattern with the famous, trademarked, and patented Interco TSL (three-stage lug) tread design. TSL is a lug pattern with short, intermediate, and long lugs that are each uniquely arranged, proportioned, and spaced which allows them to bite quickly and self-clean rapidly. Each of these details has been faithfully recreated in 1/6 scale to fit the 2.9″ SCX6 wheel.

JConcepts 1/24th Landmines & Tusk tires & premounts

Continuing their 1/24 releases, JConcepts have also release new tires for the category, the Landmines and the Tusk. The Landmines design, developed for 1/24th scale trucks starts with a robust carcass carefully shaped and sized for a multitude of conditions and capable of completing those difficult courses while being down-to-earth enough to carry a scale appearance. The team spent considerable time with the split-block centre design which has been sliced, stepped, and recessed for flexibility and contortion over sharp, loose, and polished surfaces. The Landmines have alternating solid and cavity pads which is ideal for transitioning from smooth dirt or pavement into dirt, mud, and rocky terrain. Moving toward the edges of the carcass, the scaling tire has horizontal grippy pads with edges and channels to provide additional forward climbing bite. Down within the tread, a lightning pattern, knob plots and connector bars pull the design together to work together at shallow and deep sinking positions. Once power is applied to the vehicle, the tread spacing opens which allows for deep digging, making it a great working tire in dirt and muddy conditions. As the tread rolls down the sidewall, a whole new course of tread and side-lugging is applied. A grippy radial ring provides a consistent rubber contact patch in pinched conditions while in the vertical plane, new traction bars alternate between angular and island mapping for squeeze grip.
