(Ä«Æê¿ë) JConcepts Pin Swag Carpet 2.2" Rear Buggy Tires (2) (Pink)


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.

  • 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

Like the name suggests, the Pin Swag tire combines the outer lugs of a JConcepts front tire with the dense arrangement of Pin Down type pins. The pins themselves are round and crisp to the top where they peak out to a point. Near the sidewall, the Swag enters with a smooth transition and drops off to a ledge.

The Swag is split down the center to give a little individual control to contort to surfaces. In between, a stagger section with angular front is placed just behind a vertical rib to complete the design. The tight spacing of the Pin and Swag bite together and minimize wear across the carcass. An already low-profile carcass rolls through the turns and transitions well at high and low speeds.

A unique feature on the Pin Swag is the scalloped tire bead which removes a lot of weight from a normally beefy area. The tips of the bead touch off on the inner beads on the wheel which lead a great alignment but now with reduced rotating weight. During the gluing process, it is also handy to have some breathing room for the glue process and the geometry gives many edges and ledges to adhere to.

The JConcepts tires include open cell, medium inserts for plush control. The 2.2¡± bead mounting diameter fit to popular wheels like the #3348 Mono wheels available in bright white and florescent yellow.
