After successful tires such as the Landmines, the team focused on a new design with information learned by driving, crawling, and important input from a heap of development time by the JConcepts team. Available as pre-mounted, the new Tusk tire is combined with the new #3431B Glide 5 wheel for an easy installation and the ability to head straight to the trail. The team used a 2.0” overall size making it a very high-performance and scale-based tire, but the tread layout went under the scope for changes. The Tusk has an animal like instinct while it makes its way over terrain with hefty lugs and sidewall support. The center of the tire starts with a V-shaped lug with multiple steps to the sides for additional grip while the gold compound rubber flexes and contours to the landscape. The design team added large, staggered traction bars off the side continuing the V-shape pattern and while the shorter version steps in conjunction with the center lug, the longer version fills a void underneath and meets up near the center line of the tire. The Mirrored aspect to the tire lays out beautifully and alternating rows provide a staggered height affect
