hello all,just hit a curb with my Jato 3.3,cracked front top bulkhead and chasis top plate. my mechanical skill are poor to fair @ best,should i leave this job to the friendly nieghborhood LHS?

no its very easy to fix im sure u can do it less then a hr, thoes parts are very common to brake so get used to it,

the only think that might be hard for you is the top plate, but as long as you have the exploded views booklet that came with the manuel you should be fine

piece of cake, bud!! do the front first, then do the plate. take your time. it looks like a lot to do ,but, just take your time, and try to keep track of where the fasteners go. oh, and check if your chassis is bent, if it is, just bend it back.

Mabey you should look into something like the hpi firestorm or some other hpi model. I hit a tree at full speed with mine and crashed off jumps many times and nothing broke.[>:][>:]

the jat carries a lot more speed than a firestorm, thats why they seem to break more than firestorms...i think they are just as durable if not more......but anyways, its easy to fix, it doesnt take much skill

phast46

yeah, maybe thats because your firestorm didnt go 65 into concrete! Jatos break because of the speed i think, so really
to me there is no comparison..

I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post under, if not Im sorry... I have a Traxxas Jato 3.3 and crashed it pretty bad today.. I bent the aluminium frame, broke the top chasis, broke the front bulkhead and a RF steering adjuster... Is there any advice anyone can give on finding step by step repairs for the bottom plate or top chasis? I just dont wanna screw this thing up. Anyone around Greenville, SC that can help repair it for me? Please advise.....
