Jaco Rubber Tires
I didn't think so.

I can say that I didnt have any major problems with the Jaco tires when I ran them last summer.... I cracked one wheel (a very small crack) from a MASSIVE hit that would have either warped or cracked any other wheel. So in my mind the jaco stuff was just fine for me.
The only gripe I had is the tires wore out a little fast because it was probbaly too hot outside for the blue compound. Other than that, they were awesome!

Corally and Losi both definitely heard about it from me when their arms broke too easily. Both acknowledged and fixed the problem. Well, Losi did. Corally's "new" arms still seem to break more easily than most others. Maybe that's by design, something has to give.
Nothing is indestructible, but there seems to be an expectation from the masses on a certain degree of durability. If a part regularly fails to meet that expectation, arbitrary as it may be, people start talking about it.
It's also important to consider that the track itself can expose durability issues, which can lead to some people experiencing it, while others don't. Consider, as an example, the insanely long axles on the Type-R, that could catch and rip the suspension off the car, depending your boards and other track-specific factors.
Again, this isn't intended to be about Jaco, but just an observation about R/C in general.

People have the right to express their concerns when it comes to not getting what they payed for (weather the vendor agrees or not). There is an old saying, the squeaky wheel gets the grease)...so get out the lube gun. 
(sounds like they are). Anyway...sitting back and "dealing with it" at the consumer level just means more of the same.
Just because everyone deals with it doesn't make it OK. If everyone had to rewind their new motor, or re-lube they're new bearings, or re-solder their new ESC would that be OK? By comparison there is little difference IMO.

The new saying says Sh*tcanned !!
(This has nothing to do with the tyre issue here...)(just a dumb 2c)

My only comment is get over it. The guy is working on it. As for the CS27's it ain't going to happen! So get some glue and quit whinning about the problem.
Since no of you were around when we first started Controlled tires you don't know how good we have it now- regardless.Every has to deal with the same problem!

How could you possibly know who was around when controlled tires started???
To make a comment that, on a thread with over 140 post and over 5,000 views, is just asking to be wrong.From someone who WAS infact around back then, I say whoopty doo... We have control tires now... Am I supposed to believe that has somehow made R/C some magical better place that would collaspe if we all went back to gluing our own tires and using our own wheels and inserts? What point were you trying to make exactly???
I race electric TC (controlled tires), TCS mini (semi-controlled tires), and Nitro TC (no controlled tires) and neither of the classes are made easier or harder because of controlled tires.
So again, your point about being around before controlled tires was???

You are absolutely right. It's a good thing we didn't do that.
Standard wheel. Handout tire.

I eagerly await the new rims. These SpeedMind/Sorex premounts are getting hard to find!
