Who are Jetko..??

[BashingBrian]

I saw these at my LHS but I've never heard of them, any of you guys tried them ??

JETKO-JETKO​

jetkopower.com

This is just a handful of tires they make... ( I like the look of those low profile ones )

Its a Korean startup company if I am remember correctly.. Someone posted Jetko somewhere else on AF months back. Do a search. I know nothing about these.
To me resembles Method RC tires. Do you see a resemblance to them? The wheels.
The treads look better than some of the Method ones. But Methods are belted, I don't know if these are.

I am gonna have to look in to those wheels

 

[norcalsc]

ive never heard of them but they look nice

Lhs also has these. They kinda look like rip offs of prolines. The set I saw.

It's funny because on their "about us" page they go on about USA rubber since 1988 to me it just seems weird that they don't list any specs of anything

I saw them in one of Talbot’s videos and tried to find some info on them, but there seems to be very little out there. Nice to see more options for the 1/5 scale trucks coming to market.

Found these...

Well at least somebody has put some effort in making promo video's.
The Tomahawk has got the best tune, it's quite funky!

And can somebody get me a Loctite pass? wth is that ? Sounds cool though!
The last logo seams to say Belt Tires but it's kinda hard to read.

I really like the look of them. Going to google them now for more info (want those Tomahawks).

 

[Cereal_killer]

I might swing by the local hobbyshop and see if I can find more information.

I ordered these the other day and they have arrived. Searching the forum... seems like not much on them.

I'm about to open them up. Any questions you guys have?

Yes, which ones did you buy and how much do they weigh? And afterwards we’d like to hear your thoughts on them

I haven't driven the vehicle with the stock tires and these are probably the ones I will run first on the truck. Probably will be a little while before I end up running it due to weather/salt.

I don't have a small enough scale to weigh them. I don't think my bathroom scale is accurate at all (if it even reads) at such a low weight.

I like how the removable hexes got made for 8s by jetko. I have rounded off far too many hexes.

The 1/8 scale tires from Proline that use the removable hexes feel less stout... though im not sure its fair to compare because of course a bigger heavier vehicle will need sturdier material. The mashers I have are 1/6 scale but they don't use removable hexes.

There was a Talion on here that had the super sonic ones on it. I can't remember if it was a post or just in media.
