Ok well i am finally geting my jato tuned into where i like it. I started to play with the shifting but i can\t get it to shift into second. how many turns will it take, i went from the stock 24t to a 18t clutch bell. i turned the screw out anout a turn and a quarter and still no second.

Hi guys I'm a newbie at trucks but a proud Jato owner. Perhaps not the best first nitro truck, but nothing else out there looks as good. So with that I have a question, the Jato I have I got used, nothing wrong with it except I have the black/silver/yellow Jato body. I would love to have the blue/yellow Jato body they must have come with a while ago. does any one know where I can get one? Thanks. S

Well Im not sure where you can find that exact body but if you search online you can more then likely find it. Look into the crowd pleazer body. They are pretty tight and look good with your option of how you wanna place decals. You can also get some nice looking wing 2 go on it and it'll look real nice. I seen a few REAL nice custom jobs some guys have done and its like no other. I think that is best. 2 have something like no other out there and have your own style. But if you really want that blue/yellow body just google search jato 3.3 bodies and see what you can find.

   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.

ajk2649 i was going to buy that buku from you but had to buy fuel pump for my truck did not have enough to do it all. but i still want it just a little later.

Yeah i hear ya man. This hobby sure is killin the bank but then again if I didnt do this I would prolly just spend more money on beer.

 I already have another RC in mind that I want. Im deff gonna get a 1/8 scale. I want  either the  kyosho inferno ST or the Mugen MBX6T. All of which are pretty expensive but either way I want an 8 scale and its gotta be a truggy. I just gotta some how swing around 600$ with the wife and she'll be cool with it.

dont  buy a cheap one, like my daddy told me you get what you pay for, if its cheap its junk ,i bought a cheap  one and throwed it a way after i hit it with a sledge hammer lol

Oh trust me bro I know all about that. My 1st RC was a speedy tiger that cost about 150-200 bucks. I thought I was getting a steal after lookin on other sites. Then again that was way b4 I knew anything about RC cars and how true the "you get what you pay for" saying is. I ran into problem after problem with that thing and finding parts is like finding a cure for cancer and then if you do its being shipped from Tiwan and takes WEEKS.

 I came back from Iraq and got the jato and realized what RC really is and that speedy tiger went right in the dumpster. But now after the Jato I want something bigger that I can take off road cuz the jato doesnt do all that well off road unless you mod it and by the time i spend more money on mods for it I can just have bought the truck I want so.........

Are they kit cars 2 where u need 2 buy motor radio reciver and all that or do they come RTR? What motor you gonna go with? And is it 1/8 scale?
