That body looks like it's Carbon Fiber!!!!

BugattiFreak

its carbon fiber paint, sorry.... but it looks great. unfortunatly, we had to heat it up and bend it because the body wouldnt fit.

I want to see some pics once you put it on, what is that body supposed to be made for? (what vehicle)

BugattiFreak

the body is made for a losi xxx-nt, but you have to heat gun some places, and bend them to fit on your car. also, i suggest taking 5 (or 4, cant remember) AAA batteries, nimh, and putting them in the center of the car, less wieght, faster steering and response. not to mention its rechargable.

nice, i like the alum arms, is new era the only website that sell the alum a-arms for the jato?

BugattiFreak

so far, they are the only ones, but they are sooooo high quality. soooooo freakin tuff. and lighter then plastic. they are worth 35$.

peed

i just checked it out the have the front and rear a-arms in alum.
for just $33[X(]
new era sells cool stuff for the jato

BugattiFreak

my front ones have never broken, and 33$ is a lot of money. i still have the ones which came out of the box, and i have gotten a good 7-9 FT of air and landed plat on the ground, the only thing that broke in my car hobby was rear shock towers, and arms, rear only.

peed

yeah, i know it is expensive, that is why i bought some spare front and rear a-arms from tower for $18,58

BugattiFreak

if you have a hobby people next to you, they sell them for 10$, plastic, but your not going to need anything more.

peed

i don't have a hobby people next to me, my lhs is really bad, i will only go there to buy fuel.
i'm saving to buy a better tuned pipe, do you know of any website where they sell pipes for the jato?

5, you would only get 4.8v with four.

Surely now when the arms take a hit it's going to transfer the force into that thin section of chassis? Not knowing how the Jato is built, I can't see how it is reinforced on top, but it looks like that's what's going to happen!

BugattiFreak

you know, before you speak, look at the jato very carfully,
"Surely now when the arms take a hit it's going to transfer the force into that thin section of chassis? Not knowing how the Jato is built, I can't see how it is reinforced on top, but it looks like that's what's going to happen!"
its a no duh that i considered that, thats why im keeping my shock tower stock.... im not stupid.

ICrashThings

that all carbon fiber look...


looks kind of ugly, you even have the windows painted.[:'(]

BugattiFreak

i like the way the carbon fiber looks in the sun, im not looking for the realistic look, im looking for the bad***** look. (god knows how easly people get effended these days). not to mention, the carbon fiber look, added some paint, and a very, very, thin coat of fiberglass, makes it stronger. but the good thing is, it still bends, big time, i tested it. at about 60 degress is were it will bend, and have a dent, and it will always come back to its original state. keep in mind, im looking for preformance and ruggedness, but sexyness.

I think that carbon fiber look is great! [sm=thumbup.gif]

ChriX

Why don't you explain how it's going to work for me then instead of going all defensive because I questionned something. How is the stock shock tower going to prevent the chassis bending?

I've seen the scraped up rear chassis plate of his truck one too many times now, lol.
that being said
those arms look tough as hell. $35 for a pair aint bad at ALL.
BTW, hobbypeople is only a local thing for you cali/NV folks. HP is mail order for the rest o' the country.

BugattiFreak

define chassis, because people seem to tell me diffrent defanitions all the time, and i want to give you an accurate answer...

ThunderbirdJunkie

My Feedback: (3)

chassis plate, what else would it be?
it's the plate of aluminum that makes up the bottom of your chassis.

BugattiFreak

its not going to bend, at least for me. i have no clue how bad of a hit you need to have to bend that plate. its not going to happen any time soon, thats for sure.

I didn't say anything about bending, lol.
