This is a set of JConcepts Blockers 1/8th Buggy Tires. Developed by JConcepts for the highest level of competition, the Blocker is a relative of the Stalker and the Reflex and has an even tighter tread pattern for long main events or very abrasive conditions.
JConcepts design team has focused on the carcass dimensions, profile, overall height and width to assure the best balance of weight and driveability. The Blockers began with a Stalkers style pin which has slight angle on each side for separation at the top. This fine detail gives increased bite in wet conditions providing some versatility to the design. As the pins meet the base of the tire, the spacing tightens considerably giving a stable footing for the Blockers.
JConcepts professionals analyzed the latest race worn tires and decided where and how many pins to add to this design, creating an optimal level of bite and traction. Using softer compounds such as blue and green, the tire has incredible stability and flexibility for fast qualifying. The additional pin real-estate provides a lot of cushion for extended main events and when paired with long-wear compounds such as R2 and O2 the race pace can be pushed out to 45-60 minutes with ease. The stacked row configuration and simple connected pins offer massive forward acceleration.
The aligned rows allow some surface drift making the tires forgiving in sand and bumpy track sections. The outside pin has been clipped to help drive-ability and ease the initial turn-in drivers often have concern for. The JConcepts tires include the Dirt-Tech closed cell inserts made famous by their gray color and durability.
Features:
- JConcepts original tread, available in multiple compounds

- Increased, 360 degree pin coverage over the Stalker
- Stacked tread for equal wearing
- 83mm bead mounting size for 1/8th compatibility

JConcepts Blockers 1/8th Buggy Tires (2) (Aqua A2)
Got a set of these in aqua A2 (medium soft long wear) years ago and after about 30 minutes, didn't notice all that much difference from Detox/Rehab green and Reflex green, other than the obvious slight less grip due to not being as soft of a compound. I kept them with me in a Ziploc bag for about 2 years before I got around to using them again 3 months ago.
Decided to try softening them up with some StickyKicks purple sauce. I didn't notice it immediately but after about 15 min of driving on my local outdoor clay track (outdoor temps in the 60's, watered, sometimes chunky rough, other times tacky cold and smooth), I realized these Blockers were performing phenomenally.
The response I felt was plenty of traction for speed and control, but not too much to the point of traction rolling, rapid wear, or difficulty getting the car to rotate when needed. This 1 set became my go-to for the weekly Wednesday night races at the track, and I've racked up at least 12 nights/days running them, and they're just now worn down to the point that I'm going to retire them. Definitely grabbing another set.
