The stock tires are pritty bad on loose dirt. Pick up some lose step pins and front ribs or proline tires.


That looks wicked nice freak. Dang.

Yesterday I did some high speed running and grass running with glads and edges. Boy did this thing rip! And for those people who have driven there's on pavement, Doesn't it handle like a touring car? its such a great feelin'. On the grass it soaked up all the ditches and bumps nicely with those oversized shocks. I can't wait to race thins thing!

here's an updated pic:

-RPM Blue Clawz with Edges and Gladiators
-Futaba 3PM radio
-Venom Receiver pack
-Traxxas tuned pipe
-Traxxas Blue Head
-Pull start

Unbreakable,

That Jato looks fabulous! That's pretty much how I'm planning to set up mine. Those tires you put on it, look great. to me, it gives the truck a better look, than the stock ones. I view the stock tires, simply as a set of "break-in" tires and nothing else. Nothing wrong with that, though.

Have you noticed a difference in performance with the Traxxas tuned blue pipe? What about with the machined head? How has your running temperature changed with it?

Also, which RPM Claws did you use? The ones for the Rustler? Is the offset the same?

After break-in, I'm planning to change the wheels and tires, put on the blue 2.5r machined head, the blue tuned pipe and a pull start. I already have a JR XS3 Pro ready to use with it, too.

By the way, who makes the Gladiators?

I view stadium trucks as a very capable on-road car (in addition to racing on smooth dirt, of course). I also have lots of street tires for them. They are much better for running on parking lots than TCs, since they have more ground clearance and bigger tires. And it doesn't hurt when you run off the pavement, either.

Thanks

One thing I'm wondering about. With the e-z start being on the top of the body, has anyone noticed dirt and such getting in there. I would guess with roll overs and such, that junk would get in that little space.

unbreakable--i see you are using a different radio, when you switch out the rx did you switch out the stock servos? if not, did you notice any twitching. I am going to swith to a new radio, but read some post where people are saying they got horrible twitching with the stock servos for some reason, some claim it ruined the rx.

broke my jato in . this thing ran perfect and after i was done i put an ae pipe on it. it fits kind of tight and it does not affect the way the body fits. it gave this thing a lot more low end grunt and more speed. the best $20 dollars i ever spent. this thing handles nice and it flat out moves
