JConcepts Recon 1:8 Offroad Tyre

JConcepts has introduced their latest 1:8 Offroad tyre, the Recon, in both Buggy and Truggy sizes. Reaching into a new bag of tricks, they had a vision and created a new tire during the 2022 racing season. The Recon works and performs unlike many other tyres on the market by utilising a horizontal design that works more in a flapping and paddle movement. The horizontal bars are grouped together in diamond patterns and staggered to produce ghost sectional compartments. Once built together, the ghost sections appear as large X spaces repeated over the entire tyre body.
