Thanks. Yeah I can find a pretty good deal on the tires and he cpl of places I looked didn't have the wheels in stock. Hard to pass up the deal on the tires, but I need wheels too. I'll chk out the jconcepts website. I just started running hybrids this year and I love them.

All the new alloy B5 series parts will be early next year.

It's not so much about durability, but removing the unwanted axle insert slop and keeping the bearings more aligned for extended bearing life. It's just another option out there that racers can choose to use or not .

PW said it already, but when the inserts get so sloppy after a few months...
One shouldn't have to glue the inserts in to remedy the situation. They fit snug initially but shortly thereafter there's no real point to set camber...

Paul and the guys at JC...

You have out done yourselves with the Warrior body... 6 windows on the side and a split window front, roll bars, awesome looking side pods.... It looks sick! I have a new car coming and I think this is going to top it off. Great work!

Thank you on behalf of the JC guys

And congrats to Spencer for taking the win at the AZ States. This was his first run with the new Warrior body and he really liked it .

Yes, unfortunately we have had some delays on some recent deliveries. We are scheduled to have our next delivery the first or second week of December.
