Does the jato have reverse? Also is it smart to break in an engine during the winter? im new to nitro and im thinking of getting a JATO.

No, it doe's not have reverse

Smart choice about going with the jato. Great st. I own and love it. They are the fastest st out of the box today. If you are going to break it in in the winter, you may have to wrap tin foil around the cooling head to keep the temps around 200. You do not want the temps to get to far under 200 during break in or else there will be premature wear on the engine.

Low outside temps. accellerate the wearing of these engines. You could minimize the wear by storing the car indoors and keeping the RPM's low during the first few minutes of running. I would advise against breaking in an engine during the winter.

I agree with 'the collector'. You probably shouldnt break in the engine in the winter, or at least wait for a warmer day (at least 40 F) to break it in. But if you cant wait, I think "heat cycling" (ask about it or look it up) with tin foil around the cooling head would be the best way to do it if your going to do it in the winter.

ok thanks everybody. I was just wondering because i might be getting it for christmas and i don't no if i could wait all that time to drive it on a warm day, lol. i don't want to ruin my engine tho its not worth it! Thanks for all the replies! is there any way to get reverse? or is it pointless anyway?

The Jato manuel has instructions for break in during colder months. Take your time and Have fun. I Love my jato.

nuh no way to get reverse without lottsa money, and theres not much point no.

hey, what does that rubber extension thing that attaches to the exhaust do. Whats it for. (in the pic above)

It is an exhaust deflector. It pipes the exhaust out a little bit farther to keep it from spraying all over the body and wheel.
Keep in mind that it will change the 'tune' of your tuned pipe.

[&:][:@]I was askin the same question(Pconn5) im getting a revo for christmas and i dont think i can wait that long for a warm day to run it[&:][:@][&:][:@][&:][:@]

Same problem here. No way i can just leave the car sitting there and keep looking at it without
driving it!

ban cold wether till we get to drive it for at least a month LOL

you could put it in a suitcase and go to the Hawaii, but thats just one idea

hay i just figerd a way to make it go reverse.
if you have a starter box make it so it turn the other way
and start it from there, but it will be reverse intill
you shut the engine of

That wouldnt work. That would just do damage to your engine trying to spin the flywheel in the wrong direction.
