JConcepts Releases 1.9″ Rock Scorpions Crawling Tires
New Grip on the Rocks: JConcepts Releases 1.9″ Rock Scorpions Crawling Tires!
Scale crawlers, get ready to upgrade your rubber game. JConcepts just dropped the Rock Scorpions — a fresh set of 1.9″ crawling tires designed with serious Adventure Team vibes. These bad boys combine a ultra-scale look, tall profile, and versatile performance that shines across rocks, dirt, sand, and even slightly wet conditions.
Whether you’re building a detailed scale rig or chasing podiums on technical courses, the Rock Scorpions deliver the perfect mix of looks and bite.
Why the Rock Scorpions Stand Out
JConcepts took the popular Scorpio DNA and evolved it into something taller, grippier, and more capable. The padded tread pattern opens up under power for excellent digging while staying planted during transitions. The super soft green compound hugs every surface, and those large sidewall lugs add serious pinch grip when things get sideways on obstacles.
Key Features & Specs
• Adventure Team driven design with scale-inspired tread
• Added spacing between lugs for more grabbing patches and better performance
• Traditional 1.9″ bead mounting diameter — fits most popular 1.9 wheels
• Overall size: 121mm / 4.75″ tall (without inserts)
• Trendy carcass width: 1.5″ for a modern, scale look
• Super soft green compound for maximum traction
• Large sidewall lugs for enhanced pinch grip
• Open lug cuts and slits for extra biting edges
• Gridded carcass with internal ribbing to handle heavy loads without ballooning
• Includes soft open-cell foam inserts — supportive yet flexible for sharp terrain
Sold in pairs, these tires are ready to mount and conquer right out of the bag.
Who Are These Tires For?
• Scale enthusiasts who want realistic looks with real performance
• Crawlers running 1.9″ wheels who need versatile all-terrain capability
• Builders looking for that extra height and sidewall support on tough lines
At a street price around $27.75 (retail $37), they’re a solid value for premium soft-compound tires that include inserts.
