well i added HPI 6-Spoke Wheel Shiny Chrome Savage (4). will these work?
should i order glo pugs or anything? I want it to be operational when i get it.

I see that they sell trueing stands for the tires, is this necassary or can it be done right by hand.

not every one will work. if im right, the jato uses hex adapters for the wheel, so you need to be sure to order that type of rim instead of accidently getting a pin version. thats yet another thing ive learned the hard way.[&o]

no there not stupid but yeah you should buy extra plugs (about 2) because breaking in the engine is harmful on glow plugs i dont really know about the savage rims and tires it can be done by hand you dont have to buy the trueing stands the just make it easier

A stand will help. If I were you, I would get agitators for the JATO from proline. The savage wheels might not work. Actually I'm like 99% sure. Those are like 10x bigger.

im not sure but you know how you can get that 4wd monster truck that you build over a number of weeks
well i started to buy that but found out that after 2 years it would add up to $1000
but the first thing you get is one wheel so i got 4 of em and they wherte only $2.50au each and they fit on my mini
so im thinking they might fit on the jato, but maby not

The wheel you must get for the Jato are ANY 2.2 Wheel that will fit the Nitro Rustler. the front and rear wheels are differnt. So make sure you get Rears for the rear and Fronts for the front. Differace is Rear is Hex drive, front has holes for 5x11x4 bearings. I would get Proline Edges for the front in the sand Also Panther makes a set front and rear's for 1/10 scale 2wd [link=http://www.pantherteam.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=233]Paddle tire set[/link] that look cool. I am not running any foam in my sand paws, I just taped them. They are a very stiff tire compare to the others i am running. Also you will have to either get this [link=http://www.neweramodels.com/item.cgi?part_id=2748]2.2 conversion[/link]or as I did just get 4 #10 washers from the local hardware store and put them on befor you mount the front wheels. So it will take up the slack since they are narrower hubs. The rears will rub for a sec. if you don't get the conversion kit but has not hurt anything on my Jato. I would get at least 3 glow plugs. i use McCoy 59's Also would get a Temp gun. It is the only way to tune you new ride correctly. You did not say anything about battery for the EZ start and a charger for that.

Don't feel like you are asking to many question. That is how we all learn.

Here are some link's from tower that will help you!!
[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDND9&P=0]6 Cell Nicad EZ start[/link]
[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHFP5&P=0]RX Battery Pack[/link]
Something like this to charge both batteries[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXKLP3&P=7]like this one[/link]This is the charger I use.[link=http://www.dynamiterc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=DYN4049]Dynamite charger[/link]
