I can't speak for the other tires, but the Lil Chasers seem to be a popular choice on our east coast style tracks; hard packed, dusty, med bite conditions.

For tread comparison, I guess you just need to compare pics I don't think they are similar in tread design.

Gosh there are to many posts in here to search for what I'm looking for.

Whats the tallest Short Coarse tire made by JConcepts? I really like the Scorpios but I can't find the OD on their website anywhere.

Is there any chance JConcepts will see this posting and read that I would like them to bring to market a 4.75" - 5.25" OD Short Coarse tire?

The Choppers would be the tallest and they are around 2.35" mounted; the Scorpios are around 2.28".

I/JConcepts see your post and appreciate your suggestion and will put it on the watch list, but unfortunately the demand/market will need to be there to bring it to life.

Does JConcepts have any plans to make a Short Course version of the Swaggers tires. I run them on the front of my B64 and would to run them on my SC5M. There is a lack of carpet short course tire options out there and would love to see JConcepts make some carpet short course tires.

Thanks. LHS is getting some of these so will give them a comparison.


I have a question on the black tire compound. I had some NIB 3Ds I wanted to try out for 1/10 buggy in black compound. I noticed that the tires felted and looked like they had this weird "sheen" to them. Almost like they were more plastic than rubber. The compound felt more pliable than my green compound tires, but didn't feel "softer" like say a proline M3 to a M4 was.

Is this sheen common the black compound tires? I was hoping these were similar in softness in a proline M4 since they are stopping some good tire types in this compound and Jconcepts has tires that are still good for dirt for buggy, but unfortunately these seemed worse for traction than my greens which I wasn't expecting since a super soft compound like proline M4 or AKA Super Soft bites well here
