No feed back there,maybe i'll do better here,it's an on road
question sort of.I put these tires on my jato 3.3 todayand i was wondering if anyone knows of how good thell be on road.When i had my 4-tec 3.3 on road,i had the same tires in a way,smaller but the same.The problem was the 3.3 in that also,busted one right in half.These are obviously a bit bigger,same engine,any one have experiance with these slicks.The good and bad points.Thanks.

picture is very dark on my end...so hard to really see what they are. But, they look to maybe be JACO Foams on the carbon fiber look Prism wheels?
If so, they are supose to be very good. They are the same wheels i have for my Firestorm, though i have not even taken them out of the package yet (2040LP)

They really are not all that much more money then regular wheels & tires.
I got my Jaco's for $44.42 + 5.50 shipping ($22.21 each set of 2)
Just paid $13.99 for a pair of Panther slicks
$7.69 for set of Traxxas Tracer rear wheels
$20.79 for set of Traxxas Tracer front wheels w/ Anaconda's
then + shipping $6.95
so the Jaco's cost me $49.92 total
Set of Traxxas wheels w/ slicks cost me $49.42 total

The Jacos for the Jato are nice as long as you keep the truck straight going fast. When you start swirving and the wheels slide, they tend chunk the corners. Another thing you might want to do is to adjust your front camber. They'll end up wearing on the inside if you dont. Besides that, they are good for high speeds. I used Jacos on my 100MPH Racer. Of course, not the Jato ones but the regular 10th scalers.
