JConcepts "Octagon" Short Course Truck Tires

While there are many factors to keep in mind when racing, traction is one of the most crucial. Keeping your R/C machine locked in and digging on straightaways and corners can make a difference in where you end up when the checkered flag falls.

JConcepts has introduced their "Octagons", a new short course tire option which aims to provide an improved contact area and traction for hard-pack racing surfaces. With a shallow tread depth, these tires are designed to provide optimum performance, no matter if you need your truck slide through a corner or grip and go down a straightaway.

As their name implies, JConcepts Octagons get their name from their octagonal tread design. Depending on your needs, driving style, and track surface, the Octagons are available in three compound types; Soft (Gold), Super Soft (Green), and Mega Soft (Black). Each set of tires includes Dirt-Tech foam inserts.

A set of two JConcepts Octagons tires is priced at $22.50 and can be purchased online and through JConcepts dealers. Visit jconcepts.net for additional details on this short course truck tire option.
