The Rips front tyre from JConcepts is now available in a classic form for vintage size wheels. RC10 Classic owners have been wanting a higher traction alternative to the kit tyre to give the 1984 vintage buggy more steering increasing the fun-factor. The Rips fit a classic style 1.9” sized wheel giving the buggy an era correct appearance in size and proportion. The high-traction tyres are produced in green (Super Soft) compound and include And-1 open cell inserts for increased support. The Rips are modelled on the original kit front tyres with a slightly rounded side-wall that progressively angles toward the top. The rounded edges of the Rips peak out and return to the base exposing the deep Ripped ribs which tile out as an evenly spaced five-rib tyre.
To compliment the Rips are the JConcepts Double Dees that have also been remastered to fit the vintage size wheels. These tyres will offer greater traction than the kit versions whilst the sidewall and round profile carcass help cover various rough terrain and also grip loose and wet conditions. The vintage inspired tyre lettering, along with the tread design finish off an all out effort for vintage racing.
JConcepts popular Hazard-style front wheel is now available for the RC10 Classic in the correct era size and 1.9” bead mounting. The wheel is built in an extremely durable material with a ten spoke design, beadlock appearance and centre lug nut detail. The Hazard front wheel accepts the 3/16 x 5/16” flanged bearing or bushing found on the original and Classic RC10. The RC10 Classic kit tyres will fit the Hazard wheels but require a glue application.
Just like the Hazard front wheel, there is now a matching rear wheel in a choice of colours. JConcepts has identified all the key points of the 1.7” diameter wheels and positioned them so racers can now have today’s style and flair built for the classic design. The Hazard rear wheel fits the 1/4” axle on the original and Classic RC10. Like the same style front wheel, you can also mount the RC10 Classic kit tyres, although these will need to be glued in place.
