JConcepts Tremor SCT wheels

JConcepts have introduced their all new Tremor wheels for the 2.2 x 3.0” SCT wheel design. The Tremor is a 2-piece 12mm hex wheel assembly that allows different colour combinations between the mock bead lock and the main wheel structure. Having the wheels all one powerful colour or split matchups is now possible and allows the user even more colour combinations than ever before. The Tremor has 2 widths, the front, which is narrow and the rear which is interchangeable and standard for many platforms and vehicles on the market including the Slash 2wd and 4×4. The interlocked look of the 5-star pattern is highly sought-after by the 1:1 fanatics and the strength built inside is, of course, RC basher approved. The outer faux bead lock looks real and has a notch and cut-out pattern appearing very industrial while the bead lock has multiple location bosses which align with heavy recessed areas in the wheel.

Some new option parts are available now from Team Associated for the RC10B74.1 and RC10B74.1D buggy. Replace steel CVA cups with light-weight aluminium or tune the slipper clutch power delivery with the 3-Pad Conversion.

The 3-Pad slipper conversion is a complete parts set to change a RC10B74.1 slipper from the kit 2-pad slipper to a 3-pad slipper clutch. The kit design is a 11mm I.D. pad with a heavy 500lb/in spring, ideal for high-load carpet, while the 3-pad conversion is a standard 19mm I.D. pad with a softer spring, which delivers a smoother throttle feel with slower engagement for racers wanting a softer clutch feel.
