JConcepts "Dirt-Tech" 1/10 Truck Closed Cell Insert (2)
About this part
This is a pack of two JConcepts Dirt-Tech 1/10 Stadium Truck Closed Cell Tire Inserts. Gray in color, these inserts were developed in conjunction with tire insert guru, Brian “Dirt” Kinwald to deliver incredible performance, while at the same time providing the durability that racers demand.
The 1/10 stadium truck insert has alternating shallow and deep cuts on the outside which touch off against the tire inner carcass providing a cushy response and feel. The inside diameter of the insert has horizontal channels cut in a 360 pattern to soak up large impacts and help create forward bite and increase acceleration. The custom sculpted JConcepts design has been blended with a unique medium/firm density material to provide racers with a durable option that is an excellent choice for medium to extremely high-traction conditions.
Features:
- Medium | Firm density material and construction
- Extremely light-weight
- Versatile size, shape and profile, fits vast majority of tires
- Precise contoured manufacturing
- Durable material, can be reused
- Gray color for easy identification

Fit the stock tires/wheels of my HPI Nitro Rush perfectly.
The foams are way to big for stadium truck. The jconcepts goosebumps beed did not seat to the jconcepts 2.2 truck wheels. The tire was so puffed out with these foams the beed of the tire doesnt touch the rim on one side. The result is a clean seat with a gap on the top or the bottom between the tire and the wheel.
Very firm and do not appear to fit correctly, when trying to mount they push the tie basically out of the bead channel, unless you really force it in with tight band.. (stadium truck) tried proline and panther tires, same issue..
Reviewers disagree on fit. One verified owner reports the inserts fit stock tires and wheels on an HPI Nitro Rush well. Two verified owners using stadium truck setups report the inserts are too large, leaving the tire bead unseated against the rim on one side or pushing the bead out of the channel during mounting, with forcing required. One of these reporters tried Pro-Line and Panther tires with the same issue. Fit appears to depend on the wheel and tire combination, and the reviews do not establish which setups are compatible.
