JConcepts Swaggoo 2.2″ 2WD front tire

Florida-based company JConcepts have introduced their new Swaggoo 2.2″ front tire intended for use with 1/10th 2WD buggies using slim front wheel. The Swaggoo 2WD front tire has a multitude of heights and angular ribs for corner speed, consistency and straight-line tracking ability. The Swagger, a popular tire in the JConcepts line-up was used as inspiration for the new Swaggoo. A new low-profile carcass matches the height of popular tires such as the Fuzz Bite and Pin Swag front tires from JConcepts. This reactive concept with new staggered wedges with added teeth and notched large lugs works together to create corner speed.

The Swaggoo has shown to produce ultra-fast lap times while also being easier to drive than other options on the market. A great tire for the spec events such as the popular independent, 21.5, and 17.5 buggy classes. A unique feature on the Swaggoo is the scalloped tire bead which removes a lot of weight from a normally beefy area. The tips of the bead touch off on the inner beads on the wheel which lead to a great alignment but now with reduced un-sprung weight. During the gluing process, it is also handy to have some breathing room for the glue process and the geometry gives many edges and ledges to adhere to.

The super low-profile tires do not require foam inserts but can be added or purchased separately using JConcepts #3275 for additional tuning. The 2.2” bead mounting diameter fits to popular slim wheels like the #3376 Mono wheels available in bright white and florescent yellow. The pink compound marked with 2 pink dots on the tire represents a new compound for JConcepts, a medium soft material with prolonged wear characteristics.

Features:

• JConcepts fit, finish and design
• Offset, multiple height, angular ribs
• Staggered wedges with teeth
• Large, notched lugs
• Low-profile carcass for increased response
• Carefully shaped carcass for rolling speed
