The Magma tire by JConcepts is an all-around performer for large scale RC drivers looking to conquer the toughest terrain while driving at incredibility high-speeds. Available as a pre-mounted option on Shuttle wheels, the tire is designed with extreme abuse and speed in-mind, the Magma tire has giant horizontal tread which is bridge shaped and constructed for massive forward-bite.

The tire carcass is built on a large and rugged carcass where the beads provide hole locations to lock the position with the Shuttle wheels. The tires have heavy inner x-bracing, sidewall support ribs and blocking to help minimize expansion. The stance makes high-speed runs and turns possible and the race enhanced compound grips to just about any bashing or dirt surface imaginable. The tall tread provides a lot of life in multiple conditions and the detail in the tread with horizontal cuts, diagonal reliefs and outer receptors help the side-wall of the tire. Bold tire lettering on the outside of the tire gives a high-impact look and authenticity exclusive to JConcepts.

The pre-mounted Magma tire is mounted with open cell inserts for versatility and dependability. The multi-piece Shuttle wheel is secured to the tire with dependable hardware via beadlock rings on the inside and out. The pre-installed hardware fits together tightly and bites through the tire bead to hold the hefty assembly in position. The hex adaptor included accommodates different vehicles on the market. The installed option with 17mm hex installs directly to the popular vehicles such as the Sledge and Kraton 6s.

Inspired from some of the most successful JConcepts Racing Tires, the Choppers have the look, fit and finish of a hard-core racing tire built for the best large scale RC vehicles. Whether you are an experienced racer or beginning driver, the Choppers are designed to tear up surfaces ranging from grass and gravel to dirt and asphalt. The tire starts with a robust carcass, capable of holding the weight, heavy inner x-bracing to resist tire expansion and tire beads built in conjunction with Shuttle wheels.

The tall and burly square lug design of the Choppers provides a deep tread depth for heavy footing even in the toughest conditions. The recessed lugs give a multitude of fresh edges to maintain consistent traction during the initial phase of tread life. The tread alignment and spacing provides massive forward bite acting as a paddle in loose dirt or sandy bashing environments. The outer sidewalls include heavy and massive JConcepts X-Tread support ribs to aid traction in tight conditions or while against sharp or angled objects.

The team at JConcepts decided on a pre-mounted option to fit popular vehicles such as the Sledge and Kraton 6s, for a further reach into the community of RC drivers. The Shuttle wheel is designed to work specifically with the JConcepts tires where the already installed hardware secures into the beadlock, through the tire bead and threads into the wheel. The joint assembly creates a solid item dedicated for driving, racing, or bashing and inside, an open cell insert is there to absorb impacts with ease. Product designs are packed with over 30 years of RC experience and backed with JConcepts customer support and racing heritage.
