JConcepts Short Course Truck Releases: Subcultures, Double Dees, and Tense Wheels

New from JConcepts:

Subcultures

Subcultures, the new three tier design from JConcepts are the latest in Short Course tire development. It’s a whole new world down within the tread as the Subcultures are the first Short Course 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 Super Soft Green compound the Subcultures for Short Course are a specialty tire that when matched to the appropriate track can provide the performance and all around tire that racers dream of. Additionally, the Subcultures include precisely molded Force-1 inserts which fill and proportion the tire specifically between tire and wheel dimensions.

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.

Tense – Slash rear and Slash 4×4 front and rear wheel

It has been said that the devil is in the details and while that is a debatable statement there is no denying that the Tense wheels from JConcepts are as detailed as they come. Tense wheels are an all-out glue-on competition inspired wheel from the ground up to withstand heavy abuse and perform under even the most demanding situations. The Tense wheel design begins with a scale appeal and functionality that separates itself from the rest. Heavy duty black nylon material and 12mm beefy hex design combine to form the ultimate in scale and performance.

Topping off the appearance of the wheel are 2 optional open and closed center caps, one with JC logo for authenticity and brand loyalty. With 2 solid and 2 open center caps included the driver now has the option for complete show with a closed cap or performance and function with the open cap. The center caps are secured to the wheel with included 6 – 2.5x8mm button head screws.

Although it is not certain that the devil is in the details the Tense wheels from JConcepts are undeniably evil at best.

Features include:

  • JConcepts – scale looking design
  • Durable black nylon material with 12mm heavy duty hex design
  • 2 types of center caps for show and performance
  • JConcepts – World Proven Innovation and Design
