XxHarobiker 12-06-2005 08:04 PM

RE: I need help fast

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.

sorry if my questions are stupid. I ain't no gear head and I'm new to nitro so im going to have to learn.

RE: I need help fast
 
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]

rustlerkid92 12-06-2005 08:38 PM

RE: I need help fast
 
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.

XxHarobiker 12-06-2005 08:50 PM

RE: I need help fast
 
well what rims do you guys use and do i need to find certain width. i want 4 of the same rims that i can fit these 4 tires on.

XxHarobiker 12-06-2005 08:52 PM

RE: I need help fast
 
the rims also need to be from tower hobbies because thats where all my stuff is being ordered from.

Evader ---> MGT 12-06-2005 08:56 PM

RE: I need help fast
 
Agitators!!!

David D 12-06-2005 09:47 PM

RE: I need help fast
 
The ones you won't pick, but the agitators listed above will work, and look great.

Rims- 2.2 rustler stock rims!!!! They are real cheap, look cool, and hold up well (like $7.00 for 2).

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=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]

there isnt too much sand around here. I am only getting paddlesbecuase snow is all the jato is going to see for its first few months.

Hoese37 12-07-2005 07:23 AM

RE: I need help fast
 
there's only one thing thatv everybody forgot. CA GLUE!!!

CarTireDragbike 12-07-2005 03:26 PM

RE: I need help fast
 
i would still get some Proline edge tires for the front. the stock tire won't turn well in the snow.

XxHarobiker 12-07-2005 03:33 PM

RE: I need help fast
 
no, ca glue comes with the jato package along with everything else i need. i just need suitable tires for the snow and rims that will fit them.

XxHarobiker 12-07-2005 03:39 PM

RE: I need help fast
 
also, whats better for the snow pro-line paddles or pro-line sand paws?

CarTireDragbike 12-07-2005 03:44 PM

RE: I need help fast
 
Proline sand paws are paddle. they are just split paddles instead of full paddles

XxHarobiker 12-07-2005 03:58 PM
