get red spraypaint! when I used to bash at skate parks, I used revo springs(they are red). they're stiff, but they prevent bellyflop.

yea, I dint know those were losi wheels when I bought them, so my traxxas bearings wont fit in the front. lhs tried to find bearings that fit, no luck. love the saleen body.

can someone give me a good starting price for my jato and all this stuff,the engine in the car has about two gallons through it and its a 2.5R, the other one maybe 5. thanks

twomanytoys

You can get some good money on ebay for that stuff either as a whole or as parts. A rolling chassis goes for about 150, the motor would go for about 70, and the rest of the things as a parts lot. Or everything for about 225-250.

sd2fast

yea, let me know if you put any of it on E-bay. I need off road tires and some new rear street tires! LOL, but who doesnt?!?!?!

This brake mod works great but one warning do not over use your brakes to the point they over heat. I was screwing around in a parking lot doing high speed passes and braking and the two screws that hold the brakes to the transmission case heated up and melted out. I had to buy a new tranny case after that. Now I'm a little more carefull.

sd2fast

Thanks! I will keep that in mind.

angus67

ive never had that happen. do you have a pin keeper on the brake rod so that your brakes dont drag when you give gas?

you need to run diff lube in the differental. I personaly run 50K from OFNA for general use and bashing. In my race jato I run 5K to 7K depending on the track. You can down load exploded views of the Jato off of the traxxas website. You will take apart the whole rear end to get to the diff and then take it apart to put in the fluid.
That should get you on the right path. If you need more info just let us know...

Nick2618

The diff is actually really easy to remove. I did not reliaze this at first and took the entire tranny apart to get to it. But i can save you that lesson.

Just unscrew the back 2 screws on the bottom and i then like 2-4 screws (not sure) from the back and the rear bumper and back part of the tranny case should slide out. Exposing the diff.

motorhead91

how often should it be lubed

sd2fast

I asked for everyone to post pics of their Jatos and one person posted 2 sets of pics..... Are you guys not proud of your Jatos? Come on, This is the baddest R/C ever made Show those Pics!!!! I think I am going to try to find the Chevy Silverado Truck Body, I saw one on a different site and it looked good on the Jato... Well, Please post some pics. Thanks! S.D.[8D]

I check the lube in my basher about every other month. Just for cleaning and to top off if ever needed. About every three months I completely clean out the diff and put in new lube.
In my racer... we it does not get ran as much (two small kids have really cut in to my race time... ) so that one is just when it feels like it needs it...

Nick2618

I dont think that many people have jatos on this forum. Most of them use the traxxas forum. Also you asked for jato with a diff body which most people use the stock one. Here is a good place to see jatos http://monster.traxxas.com/showthread.php?t=295981
