XRAY - Model racing cars

There's lots of ways to decrease it....

1. Stop hitting the barriers (earlier explained). Hitting them certainly doesn't make you faster.

2. Spend $24.00/pair for TRC tires with rings. (You can get Jaco's for 16/pair)

3. I cut vinyl rings for foam tires and have been using them on my own tires for months now, without any chunking of a tire. The rings get destroyed, but big deal...they are extremely cheap.

However, the rings only decrease chunking caused by side impacts, running over something like a knife blade (laugh, hehehe), will still destroy the tire.

If you'd like some options for the rings I cut, I can email them to you, as I am not trying to solicit business.

Hope this helps,

The rings sound a great idea, what exact material and thickness are they made from?

go to the Jaco racing web site and go to tips and tricks its has some good answers to some chunking questions.

I make them from commercial vinyl, cut on a CNC cutter. The nice thing being that I can cut them for any size tire, and supply 3 sizes of 4/ea. That way, as the tire wears, you can replace the ring, as you need the ring to be smaller than the O.D. of the tire, but not much.

It's also a lot easier than gluing or a few other supposed tricks.

ok, where can this vinyl be purchased?
