Speaking of the Jaco 2 stage foams, I can't find any info on them anywhere. Does anyone have some part numbers? I'd like to try some of them.

I posted this in the for-sale forum too but I figured someone here might be interested as well. Sorry don't flame me :D ...
I didn't wanna have to do this but here goes... I don't see any immediate need to keep this car being that I only know of two other guys in my area that run 12th's. This car has only seen 4 practice asphalt laps, and is in PRISTINE condition. If you want to get started in 12th-scale this is the car for you. It's coming with EVERYTHING except radio with Spektrum module. Here's the rundown: CRC Team Red T-Fource... $225 Futaba MC800C speedo... $150 AMB personal transponder... $90 Futaba S9602 servo... $50 Spektrum receiver... $70 Fantom Team Stock motor... $40 2-Yokomo HV3300 4-cell packs... $80 Protoform Speed 8 body... $15 CRC EXP Speed 8 body... $15 Kydex Bumper... $5 CRC Center Spring Set... $7 CRC Red Alum 10-deg upper arm mount... $13 CRC Red Alum 5-deg upper arm mount... $13 CRC Alum Servo mount... $13 CRC Alum washer-front ride height... $2 CRC Graphite Servo-saver brace... $3 CRC 3/8 x 4-40 Cap head screw... $2 CRC Square nuts for servo mounts... $1.50 IRS Ride height adjusters... $9.50 Team Associated VCS micro shock rebuild kit... $4 Team Associated Blue spring for VCS-micro shock... $2 Kimbrough 96t 64p Spur gear... $4 Jaco pink fronts... $15 Jaco pink rears... $12 Jaco purple fronts... $11 Everything from the CRC Speed 8 body is NIP........... I believe that's all of it. That's a little over $800 worth of gear. It might be a bit steep for some but $500 in USD will suffice. If someone has a better offer, bring it. I do accept paypal and money orders. NO CHECKS!! Anybody have a Hudy Lathe w/DIAMOND BIT and Much More motor cooler and KO VFS-1 PRO COMPETITION speedo or anything comparable, 'cause I am willing to hear SOME trades. Thanks for your time ... -JB |
Tireman- of couse they are not hard to make. You just buy one of ours and reverse engineer it. The whole point is that it is OUR idea and we have taken steps to protect it. You should receive a letter from our patent attorney outlining our position soon. From here on out we can keep it off the message boards and let our lawyers handle it.

We will review it and if we are infringing on your patent we will stop production on our DUAL LAYER tires. If your already have the patent please include the number. If it is patent pending we will need what the patent was applied for. Josh I dont know what you mean we didn't have the technology in the 90's our DUAL LAYER tires are not that hard to make they are just time consuming since you have to do everything twice. We made our first DUAL LAYER tires in about 2 and a half days. at a cost of about $150 speedxl - All of Jaco's wheels are being done out of new material that will make them a lot better than what we've had the past few years. The 1/12 rims are beefed up around the bearing boss on both the front and rear rims and the rear rims should be more true and I think Jack said they were working on the fronts to get them more true as well. |
Hey Josh, where can I get a C12?

Hey Randy, get that Nitro car to Columbus this weekend..........
Sincerely........ Brad Hackett |

I am curious as to why Jaco doesnt go to the flanged bearing set up. The flange actually supports the wheel under cornering forces. |
Since we supply a number of OEM tires, the manufacturers can save money on kits by using unflanged bearings. We were asked to develop a wheel that utilized these bearings. I don't like them. They are very difficult to mold true.
We are currently redesigning or changing the material on every rim we make. As cars get faster, we need to have wheels that are sufficiently durable. Right now, I hear more complaints about our wheels' durability than anything. That is about to change. |
