(Ä«Æê¿ë) JConcepts Pin Downs Carpet 2.2" 1/10 4WD Buggy Front Tires (2) (Pink)


(Ä«Æê¿ë) Twin Pins - Pink Compound Carpet (Fits 2.2" Buggy Rear Wheel)


JConcepts Pin Downs Carpet 2.2" 1/10 4WD Buggy Front Tires feature a pin spiked tread, which is directional for added performance and stability. The directional nature of the pins were positioned to allow broken-in type pins to grip the surface in one direction, while the pins are more upright when oriented in the opposite direction. The tire carcass is marked with a special texture which helps the driver with orientation during mounting. The bottoms of the pins have heavy radiuses which allow the pins to wear more consistently and not tear or rip off the carcass prematurely.

The tire carcass itself has been refined to reduce weight while maintaining strong sidewall support. The pink compound marked with 2 pink dots on the tire represents a new compound for JConcepts, a medium soft material with good wear characteristics. The rear tires include gray, open cell inserts making them a complete set ready to mount, straight out of the package. The Pin Downs work best on Carpet and Astroturf tracks where typically a small pin tire is working.

NOTE: It is popular in Carpet and Astroturf racing to trim the tire pins to reduce the amount of grip 4wd front tires produce. Drivers typically start by trimming the outer most pins and work their way toward the center of the tire until the car has the proper balance for the conditions. Tuning with precision is the key to success.

Features:

  • JConcepts fit, finish and design
  • Multi-position, directional sharp pins
  • Hefty pin to carcass radius for increased response
  • Textured tire carcass indicates direction
  • Carefully shaped profiled carcass for rolling speed
  • Includes gray, open cell inserts
  • Pink Medium Soft compound, developed for carpet and astro tracks







The Twin Pins are a new ground-breaking design which have not only, turned some heads, but have the competition, scratching their heads. The Twin Pins feature a dual spike which is connected together to form a mini-mountain like silhouette. The Twins are rotated throughout the design to form a solid, pin rich environment so surface area is maximized. The tire carcass itself has been refined, slammed to low-profile, high-speed standards and slimmed out to reduce weight in all possible areas.

The center section of the tire is connected at the base by an ultra-low, winding ¡°river walk¡± which strengthens pins near the base. The ¡°river walk¡± can also extend the longevity of the tire once the pins are gone, the ¡°walk¡± retains some height for emergency long distance main events. The outside of a tire can make or break side-bite, too much pin and the tire can be somewhat tippy, while not enough yields a squirrely vehicle. The very outside of the Twin Pins have legs which extend out to micro pins giving the racer all-important support turning high-speed corners.


During a recent event at the JConcepts Turf Nationals in Enfield, Connecticut, the team performed an extensive amount of testing with the new tires. Key drivers, Jason Ruona, Spencer Rivkin and Alex Kosciuszek gave the new tire tests for speed, durability and consistency and the new tires passed with flying colors. The pink compound marked with 2 pink dots on the tire represents a new compound for JConcepts, a medium soft material with healthy wear characteristics. The rear tires include open cell inserts making them a complete set ready to mount, straight out of the package.
