Never in my wildest dreams did I think that the r/c monster truck scene would be so popular so as to support scale hauler tires, but it’s good to be wrong sometimes. Last week the JConcepts Transporter tire was announced, as well as the accompanying Tribute Transport wheel that goes with it. A full sized monster truck spends the vast majority of [...]

JConcepts has released another body option for 190mm touring car racers. Designed to excel on-track, the A2R A-One Racer 2 body features several performance-focused design cues and an overall shape that’s one-of-a-kind. The front-end and hood area of the A2R is quite short, with a steep slope to allow for improved downforce. The front portion of the roof arcs upward, forming [...]

After several weeks of gloomy skies, wet weather and cold temperatures, the midwestern early-winter broke for a fantastic Sunday afternoon. The weather was so nice that I did something that I haven’t for quite a while- went on a Missouri River trail run. My “White Wolf” Traxxas TRX-4 Sport was just dying to hit a mud hole, and that would [...]

Hey, so I just got a mystery box from the JConcepts crew and [...]
The absolute moment JConcepts announced their Krimson Dually wheels, I knew I HAD to have a set of them. Now that I’ve got ’em, have them mounted and have run them, let’s talk!
