"Pavement pounder" scale looks is what the Hunk tire brings to the table on the RC scale scene. The 4.75" overall size places the tire in the Class 2 dimensional requirements, and the interlocking design has good looks and bravado to go along with it. Industry standard bead mounting diameter of 1.9" fits a huge assortment of wheels on the market so the Hunk can be teamed with just about any combination imaginable.
A great all-terrain tire usually begins in the center of the tire, which determines rolling efficiency and grip characteristics. The center of this tire features a large, intertwined, U-shaped lugs, with rubber removed from critical areas for grippy edges in slippery conditions. Under hard loading situations, the tire will flatten out ,and that is where the outer tire tread begins to function under pressure.
Alternating rows of outer tread break through a variety of terrain, and produce a paddle-like effect. Hard edges angle up to the center structure of the tire, creating gap consistency throughout the design. As the tread terminates into the tire body, slight angular and height changes help with deflection, and will help the tire contour to tight driving conditions. A radial sidewall rib has been added for stability, and small openings added for grabbing space.
The sidewall is detailed with old western JConcepts lettering, a visible part number, overall tire size, and a low sidewall rib and hatch marks near the bead area. The flexibility of the green compound combined with the lug arrangement gives the tire a grippy feel, but still maintains the all-important scale look. The tires include a medium open cell foam insert capable of standing up to the super soft compound but flexible enough for sharp terrain.
