EXCLUSIVE - JACO Prism

In addition to the Exclusive on their new rubber tire range, JACO also provided us with information, and again and Exclusive first image, of their new 1/12th scale foam tires and awesome new wheels. Replacing their current line of wheels, these new tires come mounted on the all new large diameter ‘Prism’ wheel and have already proven themselves in competition, by winning the Stock Invitational race at ‘The Gate’ by over a full lap. These revolutionary tires come trued to a race-ready diameter and will be available in 5 different compounds for front and 5 different compounds for rears, and the best part is that less rubber on the wheel means a lower price to the consumer, so expect to pay $16.00 for fronts and $18.00 for rears when they are released in a week or so.
