9/1 - Pavidas Brings Home The Gold Jammin Products congratulates Mark Pavidas for earning the 2006 IFMAR 1/8th Off-Road World Championship title. Six Americans made it into the A final with Jammin Products' own Chad Bradley finishing 4th place. "This World Championship Race was the best organized event that I have ever been to." says Chad. "My buggy worked great from the first time I put it on the track. The main started very rough, with everyone racing hard at the beginning and making a lot of mistakes. After I got clear of some of the other cars, I was able to drive it to the front, but ran out of time. The first ten minutes killed it for me." One interesting fact about Chad's set-up is that no special parts were used for this event and all the parts are available to the public. He finished every qualifier and main event without a part failure. In fact, this is true with every X1-CR attending the race. Congratulations Team USA!

New Parts Coming Soon to be released CNC Billet Center Diff Mount. Jammin Racing has developed a new CNC machined center diff mount for the X1-CR buggy with an offset brake cam for smoother and more consistent braking operation. A Delrin bushing for the brake cam provides smoother operation and less wear to the mount. The new patented brake cam lock design allows normal braking and will not allow the cam to rotate back the other way and brake under acceleration. As with the standard mount the differential splits in two and the differential can be removed very quickly without upsetting the drive train. The aluminum Diff mount also acts as a heat sink to take unwanted heat out of the braking system which will reduce brake fade. This is a very unique design. So unique, that it's Patented in USA, Europe, Taiwan R.O.C.. Read More...Click Here |
