New JConcepts 1/8th Buggy Swagger and Nessi Carpet/Turf Tires

Press Release From JConcepts:
www.jconcepts.net

JConcepts hits the track with another weapon for the carpet and astroturf racing world, this time, for 1/8th buggy competition. The Nessi tire, shares styling cues from its successful 1/10th counterparts, but a slight increase in pin size and geometry make it quite the tire for 1/8th buggy vehicles. Racing on artificial surfaces require a lot of stability and forward-bite and the design team went to work to substantially improve performance. The new tire brings a new 3D blended pin-size, pin-separation, and a light-weight carcass.

Designed in the industry standard 83mm bead mounting size, the Nessi is very versatile and has shown to work in many natural and artificial conditions. The semi-circle protrusions, unique to JConcepts and now on the Nessi tire are included in the center section of the tire and on the sidewall area. These details are important, and the low semi-circles improves side-bite but also minimize grip-rolling instances associated with normal pins.

The pink compound marked with 2 pink dots on the tire represents a versatile artificial surface compound for JConcepts, a medium soft material with good wear characteristics. The tires include open cell inserts making them a complete pair ready to mount, straight out of the package.

Features:

• JConcepts fit, finish and design.
• 3D blended, medium-height pin-size for quick reaction.
• Semi-circle protrusions for side-bite
• Light-weight carcass
• Includes, open cell inserts

The Swagger 1/8th buggy tire has a multitude of heights and angular ribs for corning speed, consistency, and straight-line tracking ability. The Swagger has shown to produce an easier to drive vehicle while still being capable of fast lap times. The tires are designed for standard 83mm mounting bead, 1/8th buggy wheels available from JConcepts with part numbers 3357W or 3357Y.

The low-profile carcass keeps a buggy very predictable and consistent in high-grip conditions while pointing the vehicle in the correct direction. JConcepts has added side-wall ribs in a circular pattern to the exterior of the tire to support high-grip racing. The pink compound marked with 2 pink dots on the tire represents a versatile artificial surface compound for JConcepts, a medium soft material with good wear characteristics. The Swagger tire is very tight in diameter and includes an open cell insert to cushion the driving experience.

Features:

• JConcepts fit, finish and design.
• Offset, multiple height, angular ribs.
• Low-profile, light-weight carcass for increased response
• Carefully shaped carcass for rolling speed.
• Includes, open cell inserts.
