The Masters of Dirt hosted by Beach RC is a favorite of the JConcepts crew back in Florida. The 2024 edition was no exception with 330 entries all vying for the title of ‘Master of Dirt.’
The go-to dirt off-road program for the JConcepts team was on display with drivers using the ever popular Smoothie 2.0 tires in Silver compound with a mixture of Dirt Tech and RM2 inserts. Driver preferences body wise ranged from the F2 to the P2 and the S15.
