Status: offline 		I believe the new OS .12 TZ would have more power. I was comparing it to the on road OS motors that people were putting in their Jato's. I do not know an exact HP for the motor. Just all depends on who you ask. It just has more power IMO. For me the RB V.12 has just the right amount of power and most of it is on the top end. And yes it is the 3 port.

Status: offline 		it all depends on what you are going to be driving on. Are you just going to be bashing and having fun? Or are you going to be racing at a track?
As for a brand I prefer ProLine take a look at what they have.

Also rims can get very expensive over time. The Traxxas light dish rims for the nitro rustler fit the jato and they are great, but they break easy. you should check out www.rc-parts.com and their aluminum rims. I have had Lone Star rims on my Rusty for close to 2 years now. I have a set of shreds that will be here early next week for the Jato! Over time they pay for themselves. Plus I think the extra weight at the corners helps the handeling...imo...

Status: offline 		I believe that the 5 cell flat packs are all 6 volts and on the amps... the more the better, and the more $$$. The higher the number the longer it will last. But it will take longer to charge...depending on your charger.

You will love your rims from RC-Parts.com Bruce is a great guy!

Status: offline 		Cool, thanks. Yeah I guess I should focus more on getting my Jato running right then pimp'n my ride. Is it normal for my HSN to be 6 1/8 turns out when factory settings are supposed to be 4 turns? This is the only way I can get it to run at all wiothout stalling. Also the pinch test for the LSN isn't right, it's shutting off in less then a second...The one thing I haven't touched is the idle needle valve. It's running HOT, like 270's and it's only in the 30's outside, just sitting there and it's will start to idle really fast after a while.

Status: offline 		sounds like your temps are too high. I don't remember the settings for the 2.5 as I have not driven anything with a 2.5 in a while... But I dont remember my temps being that high. is any blue smoke comming out the pipe? you may need to richen it up some.

Status: offline 		he said he had it out over 6 turns, that seems really rich already, although its running at high temps. You probably have an air leak somewhere. Replace the fuel lines and see if that does the trick. If that does not do it, then there is most likely a leak somehere in your engine.

Status: offline 		Yeah, I haven't gotten it figured out quite yet. I'm pretty sure there are no air leaks since it's a brand new truck but I'll double check. I leaned out the HSN to 4 turns and it won't stay running when I give it any throttle at all...Yeah, I love the rims...R_man_5k, did you have to use the 2.2 conversion kit (which is a little washer for the fronts and replacement screws for the back)? I did, which takes out alot of side-to-side play in the front, but there's still some...Also my rims don't spin perfectly even, they wobble a little...

Status: offline 		I have no conversion kit. I have not seen a need for it. I used some small washers up front for a proper fit and I have never had an issue with the rear. But the only rims I have used are the stock, traxxas light dish for the N Rustler and the ones from RC-parts.com
