Very nice! I didn't realize Jaco made those wheels in a two bolt pattern. I've got the same ones in white, three bolt.scottmac74 wrote:Thanks for the tip, I may have to "settle" for a body like I have for my fiberglass 12lw, it is an "old" Bolink 2020-L Porsche 962 short wheel base I picked up on ebay and is part of a restoration I have been slowly getting together (this 12lw is a retired racer, now a shelf queen...maybe). This body does not have defined rear wheel arches, and may be the route I will need to go with my carbon 12lw

Good catch I didnt even see that. that would be cool if I just didnt spend so much money converting mine to 3 bolt beacuse I couldnt find any rims.

Re: Bearrickster's Associated Rides
There are a couple manufactures like rc4less.com, Johns BSR and even some old TRC rims that have four and six bolt holes that supposedly fit two bolt and three bolt, but I never got a chance to try them before I sold off my two bolt cars.
That Porsche of yours would look good in these BSR rims. Just wish they had them in black.

Re: Bearrickster's Associated Rides
I have two additional rear sets, (on black rims as well), just in case I take this one to the oval for some "exercise" I miss the TRC red dot capped tires I used to run on this one (they looked cool and I think the JACO's look kinda like them). For display purposes I plan to use the original rims supplied with the kit, (I just need tires and one more front rim because somehow I lost one...the search goes on )

Re: Bearrickster's Associated Rides
Thanks for the link, I have a nip set of those rears but the rims are black. I have a bunch of wheels now. but I dont have a track anywere near me. so I will have travel so I want to be able to buy tires off of the shelf for what ever track I end up at. besides I have two fiberglass stock cars that run the 2 bolt and two CC cars that run the 3 bolt and 1 graphite car undecited.

Re: Bearrickster's Associated Rides
Well this is built from a lot of help from some great friends. its almost done. I started with 2 DS's and some parts and took the best of what I had and made one nice one. built around one of Treehuggers great podwercoated chassis. I am still working on getting the body to work. I am haveing wheelbase problems I am still working on, I will get it. and I will be putting on Touring car wheels on it. overall I am real happy with it. I just hope I can work out the body problem as I really want an HPI Saleen Mustang body on it.

That looks like part of my VORNATS winning DS!! Glad to see it went to a good home, I would have left it in a box for another year!

Re: Bearrickster's Associated Rides
yes Mark about half of it is. and the other was one I bought from Mr Lexan. and parts from a few others. both cars were real nice but both of them need a little work, so I just took the best parts from both and put them on this chassis. as both of the other ones were a little bent. that is the only draw back I see to haveing a Tub car is the chassis's bend.markt311 wrote:That looks like part of my VORNATS winning DS!!

Hey Rick, have you considered some full length chassis stiffeners out of aluminum rod?
