What is needed to drop OS18 in Jato?
I got the OS18TM for my Revo. I'm either going to put the OS from my Revo into my Jato or just buy a new OS for the Jato. I'm sure it's a direct drop in. But,
1) What header do i need to get?
2) Can i get away with the stock Jato exhaust or should i go aftermarket?

RE: What is needed to drop OS18 in Jato?
I have a REVO that I installed a Sirio .23 in.It took almost a whole gallon to break in and then I added the Trinty hi-flo pipe.It is almost uncontrolable!I also have a JATO(stock) It is allready way overpowered.I would definatly put the .18 in the REVO not the JATO.

They JAto doesnt need new engine. You really only going to make the car uncontrollable. The JAto is fast as it is and just adding more power will make the car insane and one hell of a drive. If you really want to just look and manifolds on Tower Hobbies and find one that fit your Jato.

My Jato is insanely fast stock, I have a 18tm in my t-maxx it wheelies at will it would roast the tires off if it was in my jato. the trx 2.5 is a high rpm rated engine so I'm not sure I could get any more top speed out of it.

your right the jato doesnt need a new engine at all if the stock one is fine... if you get dirt in your carb thats a different story
