Our new X CARCASS designed tire is a completly new mold that has a .2mm thicker carcass & Three (3) times the sidewall support of our original (OG) tire designs. The new tire carcass is 3 grams heavier than the original which can be a advantage or disadvantage depending on the track conditions, this is why we still offer the OG version as well, and consider them to be Two (2) completely different tires that are utilized in different conditions. The thicker X carcass prevents the tire from swelling on accelaration which allowed us to develop new tire compounds that have less ridgidity and more elasticity.
These are Lugz RC Racing Tires first tire ever tread design which is why it has the name PROTOZ (prototype) the tire was designed to have small medium Lugz (pins) that are thicker at the bottom to prevent from folding over and wearing a drastic edge. the tire has an even number of Lugz laid out throughout the tire and has a good amount of contact touching the surface, which makes the tire ideal for many diffent surfaces. this is our go to tire and is utilized 75% of the races we attend.
