JConcepts Double Dees V2

JConcepts have released an updated version of their popular Double Dees. for 1/10th buggy, called the V2 and introduced a 2wd front for the first time. Originals are often hard to beat, in the case of the Double Dees V2, every attempt at improving was considered. The carcass was revised for a broader carcass for a stout feel in straight-line tracking ability. The slightly taller sidewall provides a little cushion for bumps and terrain irregularities. The inner carcass webbing has also been designed to incorporate a more traditional overlapping X pattern concept to provide the all-around support needed at high-speed. The V2 rear tire is perfect for a variety of track surfaces and when conditions are unknown, the Double Dees are always a safe choice. In the case of the Double Dees V2 as a 2wd front, it didn’t exist, until now. For years, racers handmade Double Dees front tires to increase steering response and provide the ultimate match for the rear tire in loose and loamy conditions. For the new front tire, the carcass was designed for a slightly narrower patch to control steering response and allow the front to rear combo to work in unison.
