One of the best ways to sling the dirt and sand is with the new Animal tire by JConcepts. The large height, paddle rear tire is the go-to item for blasting the dunes, cutting through the dust, sand, and dirt while spraying rooster-tails against the competition. The perfect tire to fit vehicles such as the Maxx, Kraton 4S, and Kagama 4S is 1:1 inspired to provide best in class looks and performance. The JConcepts carcass has strategically placed upper paddles with a scoop shape to thrust into any patch of terrain and blow right through it. One of the details is the smooth carcass with mock cut-off paddle sections which is a common sight in 1:1 tires.
The tire carcass is built on a large and rugged carcass where the beads position to 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 surface imaginable. The tall paddle tread provides a lot of life in multiple conditions and the detail in the tread helps versatility 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 Animal tire is mounted with open cell inserts for versatility and dependability. The 1-piece Shuttle wheel is secured to the tire by glue by pre-mounting professionals. The combination comes with 2 different wheel off-set adaptors to accommodate 3 different vehicles. The wider option should be used to fit the Traxxas Maxx, and the narrower option should be used with the Kraton 4S.
Large scale RC vehicles have grown to new heights. Dependable combinations, expLosive power, and thrills pack a serious punch and together with JConcepts accessories, provide a winning combination.
