Status: offline 		I also like a "bigger" radio (the top part of it). I have tried many Futabas, they are just too slim all around! My last radios were JR's, one was a "terrible" Hitec, i'd never buy one again. Mine has 18 models of memory... there are like only 5 users that post currently that have this many rc cars/trucks/boats!

Yeah i am not much of a fan of the 2.5 either. 2 of them I made into necklaces. The plastic carb is a huge downer. I guess one of the "cool" new things is that composite piston... i saw it a while ago on maxxtraxxusa forums.

The trx 2.5 was originally designed for the 4-tec. Traxxas went crazy and put them in everything which was a big mistake especially on the t-maxx.

Status: offline 		I just finished breaking in my, Jato for the first time. this is easly the best rtr car i have ever driven. my, brother bought a revo, its all great and everything, but its not even close to the speed. i have pushed my, jato to its limit and im going to do it. again today, at 5. and so you know, you might. have some problems first starting the engine, but oncce you get past that, your ok. also, it has oversteer which is pissing me off when i try to top off. for some odd reason i cant trim it perfectly, i turn the nob no more then half a milimeter, and it starts steering the other direction. this is a great truck, get it!

Status: offline 		The stock tires do have a ton of over-steer, especially on pavement.. just take it easy. I've upgraded to Glad's and Edge's and its perfect now. I think of it as a touring car with this set up.

Glad you like it. I'm sure everyone who owns one will.

Status: offline 		I had to turn one down, and it wasn't ez . I decided to get a decent "Quality" FM radio since I have never had one, nor used one.

Then i realized that it would cost me 250 for a new .12 TZ engine, 159.99 for radio, 360 for jato, and another 50 for tires. I didnt want to spend over 800 to have the top of the line truck

I was on the fourth tank, which is full throttle for a 3 second count, and about halfway through the tank I drove it in to check the fuel level, and I saw the engine was smoking! So I immediately shut it off went and got my blue blower, to cool down the engine and then richened the HSN and the LSN This happpened to my rustler too

Status: offline 		I broke in my Jato today with no problems. Still on the stock glow plug and i'm on the 8th tank. The tires are a different story being bald. But i did manage to have it pop a wheelie going over a slight incline.
