Nothing gets enthusiasts amped in the crawling off-road community like a fresh new tire. Coming off the heels of successful designs such as the Landmines, Scorpios, and Tusk, JConcepts presents the Megalithic. Built to a 57mm outside diameter dimension, the Megalithic is the most detailed JConcepts tire ever produced. When JConcepts R&D sat down to conceptualize ideas and celebratory projects for its 20th anniversary, the team decided to produce an intricate crawling tire.
The Megalithic details a whole new layout of lug arrangement, terracing, and recessing to provide a footing capable of distorting to just about any terrain. The large “bat lug” center section can pull in either direction and can be tested in vertical lug direction forward, or with the stepping forward. Next to the center, the “club lugs” with recessed areas define the outside of the tread. The “sharks’ mouth” ties an arrangement of the center structure together and the Megalithic pyramid drops right into the center giving surface area at various angles.
The sidewalls include heavy traction bar placement, removed sections to add pitch and flex grip characteristics. Several “pencil push” plots array the sidewalls with heavy carved and shaved sections in each rotation. A “liquid rope” finalizes the sidewall tread detail to separate where the tread ends, and the tire lettering begins. Recessed and retro JConcepts logo takes position in multiple areas and looks as strong as the tire performs. The tire naming is shown in prehistoric font with part number 4081 for easy identification.
The Megalithic tire includes soft “open cell” foam inserts to support the ride and packaged with authentic JConcepts holographic badge for identification. The JConcepts sticky green compound is a favorite among the RC industry giving just the correct amount of flex and dampen release to support weight and hold traction in difficult situations. The tire is designed for popular 1.0” bead mounting diameter plastic, aluminum, and steel wheels on the market.
The JConcepts team builds, tests, and travels the world to support the brand and gather valuable driver feedback in search of the best appearing and performance items on the market. The product is manufactured with high precision and always backed by JConcepts customer service, supported, and developed by professionals with style, licensing, and authenticity. Look for reputable dealers and distributors and demand authentic and licensed products – choose JConcepts.
Note: The 57mm diameter tires are built to fit under and inside various hard body shells and drivers looking to achieve appearance closer to a stock representation.
