off-road jato

just get the traxxas resonator tuned pipe (dual chamber) and the pre glued talon tires on the stock rims. both of these upgrades can be found at your local hobby shop and plus you would not have to pay shipping.

The dual chamber pipe gives all-around better performance.

fastest jato, i use the energizer AA rechargable batteries. $15.00 for four batteries and can charge in the harness with a t-maxx or revo charger or u could buy the wall charger. i bought this all at walgreens

off-road jato

u said i raised the # of teeth to get higher top speed. the stock is a 24 tooth and i put a 22 tooth in it to make it quicker.

what do u think of these shocks ?? WORTH IT ??

off-road jato

Seems like it. 40 bucks for all 4 shocks. for aluminum that is pretty good. check out the stock revo shocks they are very durable and they are aluminum but i dont know what they cost whichever is cheaper out of the two i would get. and when you get them fill them with 40 wt silicone shock oil. the oil is about 5 bucks.

i need to change my carb body how do i take off the carb???

off-road jato

to take off the carb there is a nut at the base of the carb toward the front end of the truck. just loosen it and pull the carb off.

[:@]you should get this pipe right away....right.......now.

FastestJato

if you do a wheelie doesnt it touch the ground

stinkypinky

there are a million links on this thread including "where to buys", and and hints and tips as to how to keep your jato running smooth. just take a little time and look around.

stinkypinky

i have a willie bar. keeps my exhaust from scraping. offroad i switch to a single stinger.[)]

FastestJato

i mean doesnt it touch the ground with the pipe on the back

stinkypinky

also...because my jato is 75% aluminum its heavier and tends not to have front end lift(dont be fooled its STILL way fast). while youre poppin wheelies, im launching off 8 foot mounds of dirt, without a scratch.[>:]

motorhead91

the cv-r wont fit..its side exhaust, side exhaust engines wont fit the jato....

the tz shoould go in with very little mods

hey,

using the integy piggyback shocks for the jato what is the best spring, shock location, and shock oil combo for insane wheelies?

deepsouthoutlawracer

another question,

on the jatos wiring system infront of the antennae base there is a slot for soemthing?

is this for charging the battery? if so, is that why on the stock wiring system there is another wire?

do i simply run the other wire through this slot and buy the opposite plug to charge? so that when i need to charge the rechargeable battery that i can just plug this wire in?

this was very confusing but please help.

stinkypinky

the slot is for an extra chip

off-road jato

use harder springs in the back and front, 40wt oil, and mount the shocks on the innermost positions. and that is exactly what that slot and extra wire are for, just put it through and buy a revo or t-maxx charger for it. you dont even have to buy a battery pack, just buy four energizer or duracell rechargable batteries and put them in the stock battery harness. that is what I do. do not try to charge regular batteries though, because they will blow up and melt ur plastic.

thanks

if i buy this motor, the HPI K4.6 High Output Hellfire Engine, with the conversion kit from new era models,Jato Big Block Conversion for .21 to .32,
would i be good to go?

would i be able to use my ez start?

deepsouthoutlawracer

when u are looking at pics of motors and the carbs are on backwards of what the traxxas 3.3 motor is, can u simply takethe carb off and flip it around so that u could run it in the jato?

FastestJato

but if you flip it around then the loww speed needle is going to be flipped to so there will be no way tou can gon on throtel.....
