JConcepts Choppers Pre-Mounted Monster Truck Tires w/Hazard Wheel (Black) (2) (Platinum)
About this part
JConcepts Choppers Pre-Mounted Monster Truck Tires with Hazard Wheel. Inspired from some of the most successful JConcepts Racing Tires, the Choppers have the look, fit and finish of a hard-core racing tire built for the best large scale RC vehicles. Whether you are an experienced racer or beginning driver, the Choppers are designed to tear up surfaces ranging from grass and gravel to dirt and asphalt. The tire starts with a robust carcass, capable of holding the weight, heavy inner x-bracing to resist tire expansion and tire beads built in conjunction with Hazard wheels.
The tall and burly square lug design of the Choppers provides a deep tread depth for heavy footing even in the toughest conditions. The recessed lugs give a multitude of fresh edges to maintain consistent traction during the initial phase of tread life. The tread alignment and spacing provides massive forward bite acting as a paddle in loose dirt or sandy bashing environments. The outer sidewalls include heavy and massive JConcepts X-Tread support ribs to aid traction in tight conditions or while against sharp or angled objects.

Great Tire!! Running these on my XRT and very noticeable difference in traction. They are direct fit wit no issues installing. They make it look so much more aggressive and i love it. These are light weight, very close to stock. Highly recommended and durable wheels.
Easy, direct bolt on for the XMaxx. Traction improvement over stock sledgehammers on hard pack surfaces. Still great traction in grass. No ballooning issues on stock power system. No traction rolling problems.
I only tested this on a Kraton 8s; the wheels will need to have the adapters swapped out to fit the Kraton out of the box. It's included. When you mount the wheels, the nut fitment will be very tight (the Arrma wheel socket barely fits). The tires have different sidewall widths; the outside looks very thick, while the inside is somewhat thin. I wonder about long-term durability with the wheels cracking. Overall, the weight feels close to the stock Kraton wheels; the Choppers are a bit softer feeling- maybe it's the foam, but you can squeeze these easier, and it feels like more airflow from the vents on the tires. The vents are also on the tread of the tires, not the rim; that's good. On asphalt and some hardpack dirt, these feel good, and on the road, they have a good slip feeling. The stock tires of the Kraton could slide, but they would suddenly grip, leading to the truck flipping. I could slide into a turn easier with these Choppers and break traction without the truck doing a wheelie. On dirt, the truck felt like it hooked up pretty good, but the tread pattern is smaller, so these may not be great on loose pack. I'm not sure why JConcepts went with the mixed tire profile from the inside to the outside; that's my only callout about these tires.
Three verified owners rate these pre-mounted monster truck tires 5/5. Two report direct bolt-on fit on XRT and XMaxx trucks with no installation issues, and both describe a clear traction gain over stock tires on hard pack, with good grip in grass and no ballooning or rolling problems. The third reviewer tested on a Kraton 8S, where adapters must be swapped to fit; they found the wheel nut fitment very tight and questioned long-term durability of the wheels, noting possible cracking concerns. Reviewers agree the wheels are light and close to stock weight, and the aggressive look is praised. The one dissenting concern is fit and durability on the Kraton, and the reviews cover only three buyers across different trucks.
