Unfortunately, Jaco continues to deny they have a problem and sell tires mounted on horribly defective rims. Even more unfortunately, when I told SoCal to only order TRC tires, nobody listened and they just got a big box of Jaco’s in.
Claudio – I’m assuming you’ve got more of the ones with severely warped rims. You’ll have to send them to Jaco. They’ll say, “nothing’s wrong” but send you a new and usually good set back.
Taz – Richard and several others have been running the BSR’s since the Jaco issue and have liked them a lot. Myself and yet different people have gone to all TRC stuff and I can say I wish I switched away from using any Jaco stuff a long time ago.

JACO SUCKS
i have found Jaco rims to suck for 1/12 scale as well. i had a couple of sets of the older grey rims and they were fine but since they have switched to the white rims they are extremley brittle.i put a hair line crack in the race of one set just pushing the bearings in! i was in Warwick RI. for a few nights recently and the track up there only had Jaco-i went through 3 sets of fronts in 3 nights. all it would take is one tap on the boards,and i mean tap.even getting clipped by another car.i personally will never buy another jaco wheel ever.CRC are great,very tough,but tend to wobble a bit.TRC is the way to go tough,light,true. the only thing i dont like is the flourescent puke green/yellow color. but i can live with it. spending $20 on fronts every track day i cant live with

You may have to send them to Jaco. B.S. I know.
You should post it in Jaco threrd. That will piss them off.

More then likely, after you post they will delete it, if they don't like what you have to say. Right Mark?

Jaco's response
Jaco response to out of round tires on their thread- It is our fault.
Hello,
their is no problem with our product. I will be the first to admitt that yes we have heard and seen in a few situations, a bad wheel or a defect of the wheel ( I want to stress we do not manufacture the wheel) but no matter if you find a defect with a wheel send it in and we will send out replacements ASAP.
their is a myth that some people can not get our wheel to sit flust and be in round.
after many hours of trying to get our wheel to mount out of true, I figured out what is happening.
the out of round wheel is caused by the user screwing and tightning one screw at a time, then doing the same thing to the 2nd and 3rd and finally the 4th.
imagine it like a head on a nitro engine, their is a pattern in which to tighten it. a wheel or anything that 4 screws go into has to have a pattern.

Re: Jaco's response
1) "their is no problem with our product"........
Nice, guess the customer is now convinced his observations are wrong because you said so....
2) "( I want to stress we do not manufacture the wheel)"
Why would you "stress" this if : "their is no problem with our product"........
3) "their is a myth that....."
Oh, guess I'm just stupid for thinking a wobbeling wheel is wobbeling.....
4) "the out of round wheel is caused by the user screwing and tightning one screw at a time, then doing the same thing to the 2nd and 3rd and finally the 4th."
Yea, right.......how do you explain the FRONT WHEELS?
Sure wish they would have commented about the wheel breaking while you were putting in the bearings......
Defenition of progress: "Trying to make things as good as they used to be..."

Hmmmmm, when tightening down a TRC or BSR rim in exactly the same manner as I do the Jacos, they never wobble even 10% as much as the Jacos do.
I guess what they’re really saying is that the other companies’ rims are so much better engineered that they’ll run true even when morons like us buy them and don’t know how to mount them on to the car…
