Default HOW TO START THE JATO ????

Hell0 everyone.

Acutally i am planning to by my first rc nitro truck. Am planning to go for the jato 3.3

After reading its description, its says that the jato uses an EZ start system which requires a 7.2v battery pack and charger! Now what i want to know exactly is that if i dont want to use the ex start (coz i dont feel like buying a battery and charger) is there anyway by which i can mannually start the truck??? Does the jato 3.3 comes with a pullstart facility??

Kindly reply,
Thanks.

Without the EZ start you'll need a glow plug starter(heats glow plug) and a trx 3.3 pull starter (about 30.00+ for both)...

Pull start will save you weight

You might not have to carry the igniter with you if you have the EZ start....durrrrr but you still have to carry the starter and battery

The only thing I changed on my JATO 3.3 was I purchased a glow starter instead of using the blue wire on the EZ-Start. I work part-time at a national chain hooby shop and I have learn from watching customers bring back their trucks having problems starting them and usually the blue wire is the problem. Follow the break-in proceedures that Traxxas supplies and you should not have any problems.
