Hotties tires by JConcepts were created to look and perform the part of a performance Drag Racing tire without compromising grip. The front tire has an inspired look with revolved cuts so the driver can feel the straight-line stability with very light rolling resistance. The 2.2” size makes it convenient to fit a host of wheel options including the JConcepts (#3387B) StarTec wheel design.

The front tire is designed as a compact shape to fit inside those close quarters of a vehicle while maintaining the crisp response of a race tire. Hotties have raised lettering which can be detailed for shows or displays or simply left without for a sleepy yet devastating look. The JConcepts tires include the closed-cell, gray in color Dirt-Tech inserts known for their durability, performance and consistency.

Hotties tires by JConcepts were created to look and perform the part of a performance Drag Racing tire without compromising grip. 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. The 2.2 x 3.0" size makes it convenient to fit a host of SCT sized wheel options including the JConcepts (#3387B) StarTec wheel design.

The rear tire is designed as a compact shape to fit inside those close quarters of a vehicle while maintaining the crisp response of a race tire. Hotties have raised lettering which can be detailed for shows or displays or simply left without for a sleepy yet devastating look. Inside of the Hotties carcass incorporates heavy internal X-ribbing around the inner diameter and feathery ribs along the sidewall to cushion straight-line blast-offs. The JConcepts tires include the Hotties carcass forming closed-cell, gray in color Dirt-Tech inserts known for their durability, performance and consistency.

Notes from the team –

The Hotties tires are rated for a maximum of Street Eliminator 2S power only. They are not guaranteed against any running damage from extreme power situations from anything above and beyond the rating. The tires are not belted, only reinforced with internal rubber ribbing.

Green compound = Super soft feel, maximum expansion and cool weather running conditions. Should be used in track temperatures under 80 degrees.
Gold compound = More durable material, less tire expansion and for warm weather running conditions. Should be used in track temperatures above 80 degrees.

UPC Code – 845937019387

As with any type of racing, necessity is the mother of invention and JConcepts saw an opportunity for specific wheels and tires for Drag Racing and the Street Eliminator concept. The StarTec wheels in prototype form were shown under the Chevy Nova II since its release. However, now the wheels have been carved for injection molding for more availability and most importantly, a more affordable price.

The front StarTec wheels feature a 2.2” size which match to just about any existing buggy tire on the market while the rear wheel features a beefy, SCT 2.2” x 3.0” size and fit any SCT tire already produced. The wheels fit a vast amount of vehicles for anyone looking to undertake a Street Eliminator project and accept a 12mm hex drive. Popular vehicles which use the StarTecs include, the Traxxas Slash, Bandit, Rustler as well as the popular line-up of Team Associated short course trucks.

The 12mm hex based, StarTec wheels are packaged in a set, two fronts and two rears are included in each package. The matte black and stealth look give the wheels serious street appearance and look ultra low under any race car.

Notes -

The StarTec wheels match perfectly with JConcepts Hotties tires (#3193 front) and (#3194 rear) for the Street Eliminator look.
