However you want to do it, just let me know. They are in the envelope and addressed to the address EA provided. Let me know and I will change it.

Thanks EA. If the set I just bought do the same thing, I might contact Jaco. If it requires the duds to be shipped back though, I won't bother paying to ship them to the states on the off chance they might be replaced.
I only bought them because they were the spec tire for a series of trophy races here. I actually missed a race because the first set I bought were duds and I couldn't get Jaco blues anywhere locally, so I ordered a new set from a store in Edmonton and paid for the fastest shipping offered, but they still didn't arrive in time for the next race in the series. There is one race left that I probably won't be able to get to and I race open tire classes normally, so I might just use them for practice, but that's about it. Definitely not worth it for me to spend more money on tires I may never use. I really do have some of the crappiest luck. If I did get a replacement, they'd probably get lost or damaged in shipping. Seriously.
Thanks though

). If you do happen to get the chance to make it out to the last SOS race at Action and you need tires let me know. I can have a set put aside for you.

Hey Dave, if you remember me I was pitted 2 spots over from you at Lou's SOS race (the guy that had the ESC issues to no end LOL ). If you do happen to get the chance to make it out to the last SOS race at Action and you need tires let me know. I can have a set put aside for you.

They just didn't make it here in time for race 3 down in St. Cats. Hopefully I can make it to Action for round 4 so I can make good use of them.

What's with the word on the street that Jaco is hoarding current production Blues for the 'Birds and until after the Carpet Nats, at which time they will no longer be using their signature rims and changing over to Yokomo rims?
My LHS has had Blues on order for over 3 months....with no delivery in sight.....and they deal direct with Jaco.

I am 100% happy with how it was handled
Thanks Jaco and Drew Ellis

After the huge positive response of the Dish wheel at the birds I do think that its something that may be looked into....but it would be a Jaco wheel and not the Yokomo wheel but I dont know if that decision has been made yet or not.

No they are not "hoarding" their production right now. They are simply selling them as fast as they can get them in. There are going to be some changes with Jaco and SMC in the next few weeks that should make getting products 1000 times more simple for hobbyshops and consumers both.

The rubber was a huge improvement.....kind of like the rubber came from Sweep?

FWIW if a new wheel is designed and put into production it will have larger clearances for newer style cars. The Yokomo wheel that was used was from a long time ago.

Hi guys, i love the Jaco prism wheels 1/10 in black.
Can you purchase the rims only?
If not does any one want to sell me some worn wheels if the rims are still in good condition? Anthony, Australia. Please PM me.Ps i can't find anyone who sells them in Aus.
