JConcepts "The Hold" 1.9" Performance Scaler

[SteveB1]

Greetings all,

Hope everyone is getting some trail time in this holiday season. We've been waiting half a year for cooler weather, so for us in the southwest, it's prime crawling time.

We just published our review on the JConcepts The Hold tire, and it's linked here. https://www.mojavevalleyrcadventures.com/jconcepts-the-hold.html

Currently in testing is the Proline Racing Hyrax for the SCX-6, running the 3Brc Anti-foams. We posted a short video on our YT channel from our testing this past weekend: https://youtu.be/35R1hr3xnJ4?si=xyKiqOw8eGBLkDNw



It's just a quick look at how the tire is doing, but it's only one of many video clips which will be included in the review when complete.



Thanks,



s.

Nice review on those Holds. Been eyeballing them but never quite pulled the trigger due to the odd tread design, but since I run a mix of trailing and crawling, I would feel confident buying these after your review.

I felt the same and was a bit surprised as to how well they performed. Glad you liked the review.! I'm looking to blend more short clips in with the text so you guys get to see the tires performing on the trail.

I liked both videos. I’m trying to convince my wife that I need and deserve a SCX6. Those Holds would look great on just about any rig so nice to know that they perform well also.

Thank you and I appreciate the support. The SCX-6 is something special for us, and personally, it might be my favorite crawler. There is something which feels very "real" about the way it drives. If they go on a Black Friday sale or something like that, I'd jump on it.

I need to go back and update my SCX-6 review and get into a bit more detail about the Honcho setup. That said, it's still pretty factory, but it climbs far better than it should.

We will be sharing quite a bit on IG and YT over the next few weeks about the SCX-6 as we work our way through the testing.

I've seen a few guys running Tusks up front and Holds in the rear. Seemed to work pretty well.
