In the realm of the Mega Truck, there's nothing better than a fresh set of deep tread tractor tires. One of the aliases of the mud tires, "Rice and Cane", refers to the purpose they were originally designed for within the farming and agricultural industry. The 2.2" Fling Kings by JConcepts are the first RC Mega Truck tire, specifically designed to throw mud, dirt, gravel, and grass just like the real thing. The 1:1 tires were hand-cut to produce the most wicked looking tires on the block, and the JConcepts tires are uniquely built to replicate that. However, deep tread remains to do the "mega" terrain damage that drivers and enthusiasts crave.
Fling Kings are designed for a JConcepts 2.2" wheel (#3380), making them aggressive in appearance. The bead of the tire features the traditional 2 step surface which provides a massive amount of area for glue, creating the utmost security for full-throttle mud runs. The V-type tread is replicated perfectly, and the top of the tread has a slight recess, adding a little touch of depth to the appearance. On the sidewall, retro style JConcepts lettering, and the Fling King logo and crown stand out.
The soft "blue" compound, which is recommended for dirt, grass, and asphalt, feels noticeably mushy and sticky, and has expanding characteristics that tend to "pizza cutter" during flat out high-speed runs. Fling King tires include open cell "React" inserts to support the grippy tires. The Fling Kings measure in at 5.50 x 2.5 x 2.2", and fit directly to JConcepts wheels.
Notes from the team -
The JConcepts tires mount directly to the Midwest 2.2" wheel (#3380) which feature 12mm interchangeable offset adaptors for different width adjustments. The Fling Kings will dig hard and test the performance, durability, and power of any RC vehicle. Its encouraged to choose running conditions carefully, beef up your rig to handle the grip, and get ready for a wild dirt roosting RC experience. The Fling Kings are specifically designed to work with vehicles such as the Traxxas Stampede, Rustler, SMT10 and 2.2" based monster trucks.
