Monster
Trucks have always been fascinating with their stunning looks,
character identities and monster sized tires. Tires remain the key item
when seeing a monster for the first time and it's no different in the
world of radio control. When it's time to outfit an RC monster truck,
it's important to have the scale look, proportions and size associated
with the larger-than-life beasts. Meet the Firestorm Full Cleat tire by
JConcepts.
66
x 43x 25" is the standard issue size of monster truck tires before any
buffing or trim has been applied to the tread. JConcepts is on top of
the monster truck scene with knowledge and passion reserved only to the
true fans of monster trucks. The Firestorm in Full Cleat configuration
packs the scale look and performance of the 1:1 tires but with the
all-important scale concept. Inspiration has been drawn from the late
1980’s and early 1990’s era of side-by-side racing where performance,
weight and appearance made all the difference.
The
Firestorms roll with a scale height and width which give competition
and show trucks the ground clearance, stance, and forward traction
necessary to look and act the part. The Full Cleat flat bar design of
the tread provides a stable lug capable of gripping an assortment of
surfaces while the sidewall has plenty of strength to withstand
high-speed cornering. The tire lettering has an authentic appearance,
indicating many of the popular wordings, warnings and details associated
with large scale flotation tires. The retro style JConcepts logo pulls
inspiration from a time when all out performance was priority number 1.
The
Firestorms measure in at 6.43 x 4.05 x 2.6” and are available in the
soft "blue" compound which is recommended for dirt, grass and asphalt
feels noticeably mushy and sticky and has expanding characteristics like
off-road racings outdoor compounds. The tire is designed with a single
contour carcass and reduced sized beads for reduced overall weight.
Firestorm tires are complete and include open cell "React" inserts to
support the grippy tires. When the monster calls, answer with JConcepts -
