the question is can you beet a jato with a one speed trannie vs its 2 speed . The trx 3.3 has .93 hp , so to go faster off teh line and top end you have to have the power to push a big clutch bell like a 24t . My xxxnt witch is the same as a rc 10 stock has 18t clutch bell and stock has .8 hp would not have a chance but with a 24t rc10 clutch bell and my .18tz with 2.28 hp in the mid 30k rpm range that can take on gears that are 33% steeper you can crush a jato ,but then the guy with the jato goes and puts a wide rrp gear set and big clutch bell and a tz and smokes you ,I am building a revo platnum right now with a 2.7 hp .26 picco red dot max rrp gears and a 34t integy spur grear i think it will take a jato and my xxxnt .If you have the cash you can make any car you have retarded fast .
