Default Main reason my Jato is red(pics)

When I seen the pre-release photo of the Jato It had red turnbuckles. At that point I decided to get a Jato and make it match the turn buckles, little did I know the turnbuckles didnt come with the Jato.

Oh well I finally got my turnbuckles. I know you have seen them before, but I have been waiting 2 months for them so you have to see them again.

My red Jato(I need a red chassis now)

I wonder if Roy will come out with any red parts for the Jato... He used to make them for the Rustler, and maybe he will bring the red anodizing back.

They are billit revo shocks with Jato pistons and springs with badhorsie socks. I didnt dye anything but my red rims. Red aluminum is out there its just harder to find. Im sure Traxxas is going to make some red alum parts to match the turnbuckles. I hope so anyway. Im sending a chassis out to be stripped and red anodized.

Thanks, I think the word you were looking for is admit, but I got ya.

Same shocks, different diameter pistons, different springs.

Off a guy on Ebay, they were his last set. I have a couple people looking for some on Ebay and havent came across any yet. Ill let you know if they find any. I got them for $40 shipped which is a great price, I think.

I think you could get a revo pipe to fit, but they are shaped really wierd... It would probably be better to get a normal tuned pipe...

One option you should really go for are CVD's. Those sliders add so much friction to the rear end. CVD's will really help to smooth everything out and make your rear suspension much more effective.

Wow, that thing is NICE Tricksligger!! I love red, which is my favorite color, and you have a red Jato, gotta love that. When I get mine one day I guess I'll get the red body, and I'll make everything else red too, well almost.
