Subcultures, the new three tier design from JConcepts, are the latest in 1/8th buggy tire development. It’s a whole new world down within the tread as the Subcultures are the first 1/8th buggy tire with three-tier lug technology. The precisely spaced pyramid shaped tread provides the initial feel and control for hard packed, loose and loamy conditions while the step base give the necessary height for wet and soft conditions. At the very base of the Subcultures is a mesh of tread which provides grip at a time when most tires are left bald.

Now available in sticky super soft green compound, the Subcultures are a specialty tire that when matched to the appropriate track can provide the performance and all around tire that racers dream of.

The Subcultures are a part of the JConcepts special breed of tire, designed for maximum performance when new or used as the design allows even wear all the way down to the tire body. Subcultures in green compound while in new condition excel on hard slick surfaces that are either dry, wet or when traction is hard to come-by. Worn Subcultures on the second or third tier of lugs excel on surfaces where a groove has formed with minimal dust buildup.

Features:
Green super soft compound
Compact tire body with crisp tread and separation
Aggressive 3-tier design
Tires with inserts include Profiled (closed cell inserts)

JConcepts Team driver Andy Castellini captures the Electric 1/8th Buggy “TQ “ and also the Nitro Truggy “TQ”. He then backed up his TQ runs by winning both the 1/8th Electric and Nitro Truggy “A” Mains. All the action was at Hobby Hut Raceway located in Audubon, Pa, as they hosted Round Five of the Roar Region 2 1/8th Pro-Series Races.

Andy’s RC8e was equipped with the JConcepts Subcultures. The Subcultures provided excellent traction on a multi-surface track that was worn down from a half season of racing and some hard weather. The ruts were flipping the buggies all day, but the blue/yellow compound combination was just right for the 10 Minute main!

The RC8T Truggy was on rails all day. The 30 Minute main was not an easy win as the number two qualifier and track local jumped out on a quick start for the lead. Andy stayed with him and took over about half way through and never gave it back. The RC8T was glued to the roughed up track and the grip was provided by JConcepts yellow Cross Hairs all the way around. They handled the ruts without grabbing and had plenty of bite for traction.

We opened up our blog of the Euros after day one and unfortunately
thereafter we got sucked into the hard work and long days of the event
to not be able to continue with our daily reports.

Having now got home, I am able to reflect on what was a successful event for Team JConcepts…

I picked up a pair of 2.2″ Flip Outs to test out in the competitive Super Stock Stadium Truck class. With the current track layout the JConcepts Double Dees are the tire of choice and I wanted to see how the new Flip Outs would work. For the 1st round of qualifying the track was a little loose but I was able to secure the 2nd spot overall. Before round 2 started the track was watered and swept and I was able to put down a TQ run. In the A Main I stayed out ahead of the pack and fought off a late surge to take the win.

It’s not just a name; it’s a driver’s reaction.  Flip Outs are here, giving drivers that tire in-between the Goose Bumps and Double Dees they have asked for.  A very small pin construction makes up the foundation for the Flip Outs design and gives the grip when racers need it most.  When the conditions are wet and green in the morning, traction is sometimes hard to come-by; Flip Outs are the new choice. 
 
Alternating center bar support provides the base for the forward traction while the small accommodating tapered pins provide the dig and flex under hard acceleration and cornering.   Tire profile and interior ribbing design were all areas of focus while creating the combination of durability, functionality and performance.

Ryan Maifield, one of the hottest young drivers in R/C, spent some time with the cameras to share some fundamental insight on track, vehicle and driving preparation.  Learn from one of the world’s fastest drivers, in Part 1 of 2 a day is spent with Ryan analyzing a new track, preparing for that first run while looking ahead toward qualifying and main events.

Fundamental aspects which drive your racing program can determine the wins and losses.  Ryan is a championship winning driving that began racing as a youngster at 7 years old.   Ryan cautions that a racing program is an evolving process and there is always room for improvement however, some of the habitual preparation that goes into racing at the highest level should not be overlooked.

Stay tuned for part 2 as well more detailed and expert level knowledge in the future.

Subcultures, the new three tier design from JConcepts are the latest in 1/8^th buggy tire development.  It’s a whole new world down within the tread as the Subcultures are the first 1/8^th buggy tire with three tier lug technology.   The precisely spaced pyramid shaped tread provides the initial feel and control for hard packed, loose and loamy conditions while the step base give the necessary height for wet and soft conditions.  At the very base of the Subcultures is a mesh of tread which provides grip at a time when most tires are left bald.

Available in yellow, blue and orange compound and with and without inserts the Subcultures are a specialty tire that when matched to the appropriate track can provide the performance and all around tire that racers dream of.

The Subcultures are a part of the JConcepts special breed of tire, designed for maximum performance when new or used as the design allows even wear all the way down to the tire body.  Subcultures in new condition excel on hard or soft surfaces that are either dry, wet or where mixed conditions are present.  Worn Subcultures on the second or third tier of lugs excel on surfaces where a groove has formed with minimal dust buildup.

Subcultures, it’s a whole new world below the surface -

JConcepts team driver Ryan Maifield had this to say about the performance of the Subcultures tires.   “Dialing in my 1/8^th buggy has never been easier than with JConcepts.  The Subcultures tire is my latest weapon when I’m running on a surface that has loose and dry conditions.  When it comes to tires, wheels, bodies and accessories JConcepts has you covered.”

Features:

• Available in Medium Yellow , Soft Blue and Orange (black groove) compounds
• Compact tire body with crisp tread and separation
• Aggressive 3-tier design
• Available with and without inserts

Compound recommendations –

• Yellow Compound is a medium feel and developed for dry and clean blue or black groove conditions with warm ambient temperatures.
• Blue Compound is a soft feel and developed for dry, blue groove with relatively cool ambient temperatures.
• Orange Compound is a medium / soft feel and developed for dry and clean black groove track conditions with warm / hot ambient temperatures.

As a driver, looking for a competitive edge is routine and with JConcepts you will look no further than the Sevens.  Sevens are a result of 2-years of research and development on the world and national 1/8th buggy circuit.  The Sevens are a well thought out design incorporating the small pin design of the Double Dee’s combined with directional and functional undertones which produce increased grip while reducing wear.

Wear is always the trade off when going to a small pin tire and with the Sevens these worries are a thing of the past.  Running qualifiers and main events on the same quick tire is now possible. Sevens are a world leading tire combination right out of the package, the unique Sevens lug technology combined with the sticky yellow and blue compound allow the flexibility necessary to compete on even the most demanding surfaces for an extended period of time

The JConcepts Sevens excel on hard packed or blue groove conditions where the track surface has started to take rubber.  Drivers will feel the immediate impact of the exclusive design and proprietary rubber compound as they rip around the track at blistering speeds.

Seven is a lucky number –

More than just “show tires”, Ryan Maifield recently won the 45 minute A-main at the largest event of the year the Nitro Challenge running the Sevens.  Ryan had this to say following the event – “The Sevens are my answer when I’m looking to go fast or step it up in a big main event.  I have been amazed at the jealous response from other drivers after running the Sevens.  My competitors think I am cheating but I just tell them – its JConcepts, buddy.”

Brutal is no competition for JConcepts.
