But anyway quitnas1 this is for you...............I took my tranny apart today after about 2 hours trying 2 remove a stripped screw I had. Finally went 2 auto zone and bought a screw extractor kit and in about 10 seconds I had it out wish I would have done that in the 1st place. But anyway......After taking it apart trying 2 figure out why it wouldnt shift into 2nd I realized it was what you said it may be. That little silver thing you talked about in the pic you posted...Well sure enought hat thing had snapped off so the clutch had nothing 2 grab and engage. The thing that sucks is that I just spent 35$ on a new diff and clutch and it turned out 2 be fine. So I just had 2 ordered a new clutch gear. I hope it gets here in time. I am moving in a week so I'll be F*C#ED if not. Gotta love RC man. Thanks for the onfo tho. After going thru all this with the tranny I could prolly take it apart with my eyes closed.

Thats funny. That happens 2 me as well. My daughter is 1 year and a half old and when I lose small peices of my jato and go crazy looking 4 them I never find them 4 the most part. My wife will come up and ask "is this for you toy car" ( lol she hates that thing) My daughter will find it and be playing with it and we always catch her with something.

Got my jato going last week, maneged about 30mis of off road run around, then it suddenly got to a point where it would loose power and cut out the moment I pushed down on the throttle.
What is the most likley cause of this?

Oh forgot to mention, It would run if I left in the glow starter, could this mean that I need to put in a new glow plug, bearing in mind this was a brand new heavy duty traxxas one.

my wife want to shoot my jato with her shot gun, went out and ran my jato on odonnels for the first time motor ran flawless seemed to get into the rpms quicker than i have seen it run,man it was screaming and it was hard to tell if it was shifting or not, it seems to run stronger on the odonnels r2r than the trinty monster and my brakes are killer

now i have a question tho. earlier in the forum i told a couple guys how some idiot drove my car too hard and over heated the motor and warped the head. now i have a new head and the engine RUNS.... but the throttle's jacked up. -another stupid mistake of mine when i was figuring out the problem, i busted about 5 inches of antenna cable off of my stock reciever. i replaced the reciever with an old redcat reciever and transmitter. i didn't find any problems with it and still have it in-. the car idles perfect but as i use any throttle the rpms jump around and i can't keep it under control. i got a suggestion from a friend that make sense, but i want to run it past u guys before i try it out: could the needle in the carb(hsn) be jumping when i rev? if it is , can i get a carb seperately or fix it without getting a new engine?
Thanks

have you checked the operation of the throttle with engine not running to see how it responds ,did it do this any other time, with the other radio, as for the carb you can get one off of ebay for less than 40 buck to your door; let me know what you find ,that is something i have not heard of.

the throttle is fine when the car isn't running, but when it's running something else may be causing the problem. of course, i really cant c if the throttle is wrking right when the car is moving....it didn't act up like this with the stock radio, but with the stock radio i didn't get good enough reception (due to me acting stupid) to test the engine out with the new head on. could it be the new head (i got the new "hourglass" RB Inovations head made for the 3.3)? i guess i'll mess around with different combinations of radios and recievers until i can figure out the problem.
