Since I’ve pretty much turned my road rages into drag slicks over the course of one quart of fuel, I opted to get a set of Jaco foam tires for my Jato. I painted the wheels and did a precision balance on them. This should give smooth high speed traction and help the squirrely Jato more planted. I need to make some suspension adjustments and I think adding sway bars will help quite a bit.

My first quart of break-in fuel is only 10% Nitro and 14% oil and after one quart of fuel so far, I’m really happy with how the engine turned out and is running. It spools up incredibly quickly and it idles down so low and stable, you’d think it was a Novarossi. Here’s a video I took the other day and a couple pics.
