GRIPPERZ - 1/8 scale buggy tires - These tires are designed for optimal traction and will deliver consistent lap times on smooth, extra high-grip abrasive tracks.
This tire is made from an open-source mold, which is why you will see it from many different manufacturers.
So what's different about our tire:
#1 - we offer it at a great $$$ price.
#2 - made with our proprietary rubber compounds
We send the factory our complex proprietary rubber compounds, which are made from 3 different types of costly high-end rubber with both wear-resistant and heat-resistant additives.
A great way to save money is to reuse your inserts & wheels, which is why we sell with multiple options-
- On lots of abrasive surfaces, the tires wear out before the inserts break down
- To make your racing more affordable, you can now purchase just new tires
and utilize your old inserts and acetone wheels
