ide like to see a cab forward or "bulldog" style Short Course body. . function over form. . . . possible?
WTB 3d's 10th scale buggy tires
+1 stadium too
what surface would those be good for? Topsoil/clay that slowly builds up a dusty layer?
in summer i run a y bar like tire and switch to a double dee/holeshot tire when conditions get dusty, the pin tires rip when the surface is swept and they cause over traction and that is what rips the dirt, i hope this tire could work for me.
Jconcepts your tires are great! Idk but are the molded inserts softer now? the old ones were to stiff. Currently use a proline foam in these. wish i could keep the same company on the cell

would you please list the 12mm hex,short course rims in order of their offset and list the offset? This would also be a great tool for your website so people that have a set of your rims would know what would happen to their width if they were to try a different rim offset.
For SC I've seen a lot of the JC guys cutting X's into the foams to soften them up. Perhaps Paul or someone else can go into better detail about it...

I am loving the Finnisher body on the 22. Feels just as good or better than stock on it.
I would say put the Finnisher on top of the to do list for the 22t, but that's just me....lol.

I know this is off road thread but...what would be a good JConcepts tire for a sc10 on-road racing but must be off road tires? We run on a parking lot in the summer so the track temps can get pretty high. He sprays the track so grip is pretty good.

That's a big task and will take some time. For now, we recommend the wheel that fits a particular vehicle as it keeps it race legal (max width) and leave it up to the "hobbyist" to experiment.
Well here is the problem. I have 5 pairs of the rulex 3330 rims for the blitz, all were purchased new in package on 5 different types of tires. All sets measure about 300mm + or - 1mm on the front or rear. As you know max is 296mm. My blitz has very little neg camber and the only change I have made to the car is I run 4 deg rear toe instead of the stock 3.
I am by no means a fast racer but I do want to keep my cars legal.

Yellow- high temp, medium feel, long life & consistent traction
White- high temp, medium feel, for abrasive tracks
Orange- high temp, SOFT feel, for black/blue groove & dry tracks.
If it were me I'd go with a 'Bar Code' pattern tread.

Awesome. Can't wait to try the 3D's in buggy. Also good news that you are doing a softer closed cell. I just started trying other brands to see how they felt in the tires but nothing feels quite right yet. Hopefully the new inserts will be what I am looking for!

I may have to pick one of these up soon.
