JConcepts Mambos Drag racing rear tire

Mambos by JConcepts is the latest wide-body tire built specifically for RC Drag Racing. At the heart of this design is the 2.2 x 3.0” configuration but stretched out to create a larger contact patch. Forward traction is the name of the game and the goal of the larger area, in theory, gives a racer a slight advantage in the ‘hook and go’ department. One of the tricky aspects to drag racing rear tires is tire expansion and controlling this aspect of power and acceleration. The JConcepts design team thickened the entire carcass, added new inner sidewall ribbing on the inside and outside and then an industry first waffle inner weight reduction pattern. The waffle pattern accomplishes 2 things, weight reduction and provides some resistance to expansion to split some difference between a heavily restricted belted tire and a tire with no inner structure. Another exciting feature designed into the sidewall is the ability to add a beadlock style wheel such as the new Starfish wide beadlock wheel. The rear tire has an inspired look with a wide-body footprint so the driver can feel the straight-line forward stability with very light rolling resistance.

JConcepts Starfish & Coil front & rear wheels

Drag racing continues its rise in the radio control scene and the street eliminator cars are hot commodities. As racers manage to successfully tune in for more performance, they also ask for more options. JConcepts have introduced a wide range of wheels starting with the Starfish Mambo beadlock. The 3-piece design pinches and holds the Mambos tire assembly together while providing one of the most scale looks on the circuit. The drag cars turn serious RPM’s, and the tires are under tremendous centrifugal force while in acceleration. The beadlock setup is constantly under stress to hold the assembly together. The Starfish beadlock wheel is a 5 spoke option delivered in time for the most hardcore street racers wanting to run the wider rear tire option. The inner ring structure with massive ribs fit inside the tire and provides the main base of the beadlock. The inner ring will seat into the radial openings on the tire located on the inside and outside near the bead. The wheels fit a vast number of vehicles for anyone looking to undertake a Street Eliminator project and accept a 12mm hex drive. Popular vehicles which use the Starfish Mambo wheels include, the Traxxas Slash, Bandit, Rustler as well as the popular line-up of Team Associated short course trucks and now, the purpose built DR10.
