The tire carcass profile is light-weight and extremely low-profile giving the design of the tire just the right amount of contact patch for racing.
The tire includes “React” open cell inserts which support the upper carcass and sidewall under loaded conditions. Replicated cuts helped turn the carcass into a low-profile tire giving it a racing stance like other successful JConcepts tires such as the Renegade.
The Knobs excel in dirt or asphalt conditions where massive edging of the pins helps forward drive and side-bite. The arrangement, pattern, and instances were a result of carving from an existing 1:1 tire and the results were fantastic. JConcepts believes tire options in the class should replicate those used in major series events in the 1:1 world and the Knobs certainly do. The Knobs, simply named for their appearance of the irregular diamond shaped knobs which have step and overlapping features built in. For the JConcepts team, it was only natural to produce some custom cut variation replicas for the RC monster truck crowd to perform differently or build a dream truck with period correct tires. It was not unusual for a team to put in an extreme amount of effort to cut up, dig and arrange a tread pattern, all in the interest of going faster on the racetrack. When spirited competition in the monster truck game was at its pinnacle, cutting tires, modifying tread and carcass carving was an artform. JConcepts have introduced the new Knobs and Launch tires intended for the use fitted 1/10th monster truck with 2.6″ wheels.
