JConcepts Double Dees V2 Stadium Truck Tyres

JConcepts has released its Double Dees V2 tyre for 1:10 Stadium Truck racing in in green compound. 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 and lower carcass for a stout feel in straight-line tracking ability. The sidewall provides a little cushion for bumps and terrain irregularities and the “hips” have moved a little lower for more stability. 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 tyre is perfect for a variety of track surfaces and when conditions are unknown, the Double Dees are always a safe choice.
