Eric yes I am still running DP's Quad 12. Its a really good car in comparison to the conversions out there and better then most big name cars.
I havent had a chance to drive a c12. I have seen one in person and its a very impressive design by Josh. The front end on that car is cool to look at. I have heared from a couple guys they like it. But sorry I really dont have first hand knowledge. I am sure its a great car as I believe Josh won cleveland with it.

Ok Jack, you seriously need to release a compound called Pink Passion. That's priceless.

T-Force
M-11
Buggy

see you tomorrow

All of them!

What do you mean no one bought the Grey Wheels?

Hey btw did you get my tire order? j/k

Jeff

Depends where you run. At the Worlds many drivers thought the very flexy Yokomo 1/12th rims were best. Most of the A-Main guys used them at least in the rear. Softer rims give you more grip. Of course you may not want that on carpet.

Jaco's have won everything there is to be won on asphalt and carpet with their current plastic mix and rim design so they are right on and should not change a thing...well...maybe a wider offset front rim

I thought the WRAP Jaco's on standard rims were nice at the Worlds. At least they put me 17th Qualifier overall for the 12th Worlds...... right in front of some guy named Spashett, I can't argue.

what is the most common tyre choice for mod carpet race? esp if saucing isn't allowed.

i'm using purple front and pink rear, the car handles perfectly on outdoor track but really sux on carpet

am i simply using the wrong tyres? or something is wrong with my car? (i'm using 0.22 springs + the thick AE T-bar) or it's just my (lack of) skills???

well if you are pushing then use Double Pink fronts. If you are spinning out then that is tough since you can't use sauce. If you are spinning out then go to a thin T-bar or take out the middle screw on the thick t-bar on the rear pod.

Silver or Blue center spring will also give you more steering if that is what you need.

Hey, Jack!

Glad to see you on this forum. As a long time supporter of JACO it's good to hear that you are addressing some wheel quality issues. While I personally have not had much front wheel breakage, we have gone away from JACO mostly because of the crooked rear wheels. I don't know what changed in your process but when you went to the white wheels, we rarely found wheels that were straight! They wobbled like crazy! This forced us to go to other manufactures which had better wheels but the rubber quality is not as good as JACO. Also, the white wheels will dissolve in lacquer thinner which prevents stripping of the used rubber and mounting doughnuts. This is a good option for some racers to cut costs.

Thanks for your support!

Yes, Jack, please!!

No more white, yellow, green, orange, purple... (oops, maybe purple for OD), wheels, please!!

I know you have to take care of the kit manufactures but at least give us the option of either a colored wheel or a black wheel. I always prefer black wheels!!! At least you used to make the silver wheels. That is also acceptable.

It wasn't the tires, it was the CAR!!! What up Jeffie?!

At first I had my doubts when I started racing with a Corally (1/12th), but I'm really starting to like it more by the day!
With there rim/wheelmounting design the tires are absolute woble free.

it oversteer quite easily. I've tried using the thin T-bar and thicker front springs... but still oversteer quite a fit. what else can i try?
also the car goes to the right itself when i accelerate at low speed/from stand still. I've checked the tweak setting and it's perfect.. replaced the T-bar and still can't fix this problem.. i don't have this problem when running outdoor

That was pretty obvious seeing you at Gilroy the other week...LOL

You & OD gonna go there tomorrow? I got my T-Force stuff in the mail Wednesday and my mod today. Getting ready to go and practice tomorrow
