53HRA Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 The 1/8th buggy platform has been extremely versatile over the years giving enthusiasts a durable vehicle but with amazing off-road and on-road capability. The Magma tire by JConcepts is an all-around performer for 1/8th drivers looking to conquer the toughest terrain while being incredibly stable at high-speeds. Available as a pre-mounted option, the tire is designed with extreme abuse and speed in-mind, the Magma tire has giant horizontal tread which is bridge shaped and constructed for massive forward-bite. The tire carcass is built on race winning single contour geometry with inner radial ribs for expansion control. The low-profile design makes high-speed runs and turns possible and the race enhanced compound grips to just about any bashing or dirt surface imaginable. The tall tread provides a lot of life in multiple conditions and the detail in the tread with horizontal cuts, diagonal reliefs and outer receptors help the side-wall of the tire. Bold tire lettering on the inside and outside of the tire have a high-impact look and authenticity exclusive to JConcepts. The pre-mounted Magma tire includes closed cell inserts inside the tire and glued to 83mm (#3395) Cheetah wheels. Using the included hardware, bolt-on either a 12mm or 17mm adaptor which suits the vehicle at hand and secure the hubs. The wrenching effort will pay off once all screws are attached and a durable wheel is assembled. Cheetah wheels are unique, and the driver can choose the spoke look of standard or spice it up with the included dish covers. The dish cover options bolt to the wheel from the inside out giving a legendary salt flat look of 1:1 speedsters. JConcepts wheels are manufactured using advanced techniques to ensure trueness and durability and are branded with the small JC logo for brand identification and authenticity. The pre-mounted tires are designed for almost any 1/8th buggy vehicles but fit well to vehicles like Arrma Typhon, Mugen, Team Associated, TLR, Kyosho, and XRAY. The included 12mm adaptors will allow drivers to use the pre-mounts on many other vehicles like Slash and Stampede 4x4. All products are backed with JConcepts customer support and racing heritage.

.AJ. Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Love look of these wheels! Be pointless buying them unless I had something like a Radix to run them on 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 DMS Racing will probably get them, send them a email and I’m sure they can add a set to their next delivery 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 They already list them! https://www.dms-racing.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=41365&virtuemart_category_id=166 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Frosty Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 not cheap but I really like them, replaceable hexes are neat. I'm assuming 17mm hexes don't round off as easily as the 12mm ones I'm used to but I've only had the Radix out twice so time will tell I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Busby Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Ordered some. Not sure why but I did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Cheaper than Prolines - i really dig the look of them, and love the adaptable hex thing, though it's added weight and one more point of failure. Already have two sets coming from the US, but this is tempting. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
