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

Anyone know where to find some goosebumps for 1/10 buggy?

The green and blue compounds have been updated recently, but the black has not. The updated rubber (green/blue) feels softer and works better, but unfortunately the black still has that stiff feel. I've put some WD40 on my blacks before and bagged them and they felt/worked good after that.
Scheduled to be back in stock end of July.

Do you think you will make the Hybrids in a 4wd 1/10 buggy front?

When will 1/8 Reflexes (Blue & Green) be back in stock??
I've been trying to order them for like 2months and they are always on back order.
This past weekend at a big race there was a couple team guys that had like 4 or 5 sets of them and said that they were sent the sets without even asking.
But yet at the club level, no one can seem to get these in stock for the average and majority of the racers is the US.

Any and all inventory is shipped to Dealers, Dist, and Team before we put them on the website. Hopefully we can get caught up soon.

The hybrids I got seem to have some really soft foams? is that normal? in comparison to my double dees these seem about 1/3 softer. May pop them free and go with a molded insert instead but using these on a rough and loose surface.

Blue groove tires
What are the best JC front tires to run on outdoor blue groove where others are running proline x2 compound? Blue feels too soft, can't find orange but is that good?
ve got the dirt maze O2 rears. But can't find an O2 compound for front tires. Track is similar to Hot Rod hobbies. Anyone know available front tire/compound to run with O2 rears? Need an aggressive tire like a dirt web thx

Because they're badass. I'm down to my last couple of sets and I'm saving them for bigger races at the moment and back to PL for the local weekly races. You guys need to get caught up already lol.
