Yep, still waiting on trying to get Reflexes. They have been out of stock or back order for the entire summer, from May and now going into September.

At this rate, hopefully will be able to buy them over winter time for next years race season.

Hey PW,

Is there an ETA for the new 1/8th tires announced at the gas Nats? The buggy tire that is a beefed up version of Reflex (i cant rememer tye name) and the Tripple Dees for Truggy?
Unfortunately I don't know. My guess is they are constructing the rest of the molds for production. The tires made for the nats (small quantity) were made off one mold and to run production, you have to have 4 molds per tire .

Will you be making those new 1/8 tires that have that blockade-ish look to them in a smaller 1/10 buggy version? that style works excellent here giving great life and performance, wouldn't mind it in some Jconcepts goodness as we can slick flipouts pretty quick here, and double dees and hybrids don't work too well.

Unfortunately nothing like that is on the project list, but I will forward the feedback on for future projects.

"Stalker" is the larger pinned brother to Reflex...

Look forward to them, should be a great outdoor tire.

Have you tried the Reflex for 1/10 buggy?

Also consider the 3D since your track sounds pretty abrasive & looser.

haven't tried the reflex as I don't like tires that don't work on a 2.2 wheel. If the pin height however is similar or smaller than a hybrid they probably won't well here until the track is pretty dry which we don't do often do to wear on the track surface. Ours is really more black dirt than clay. Its something we may look into next year so we can get it to hold together better.


I have a set of 3Ds, the pin spacing appears to be the issue, not bad, kind of like running a double dees tire though those are not as good as a hybrid, but nothing is as good as the blockade so far. The blockade style here offers the best combo of life and traction and they really are great traction wise.

If Jconcepts looked into say a tire that was a 1/10 buggy version of a lil chaser, but say the pins closer in size to a blockade, that could be a real winner. The green compound is awesome here, just need the tread to go with it.

of the jconcepts tire lineup, which is closest to a proline holeshot 2.0? Double dees spacing is an issue and still having issues getting hybrids to fully hook up. Track last night was perfect by the main for a holeshot sized tire in m4 compound (probably due to our dropping temps here and sun going down sooner), so curious to see what jconcepts offers that can be like that or surpass that.
