Jato Bash
 
Hey guys! I got a question that know one seems to really tell me. They just trail off-topic. But how many feet in the air can the Jato 2.5 take without breaking parts left and right? I just got one and I am waiting to bash it.

I have only had mine for almost 2 weeks. I have had it about 6-7 feet hitting tripples. Dont understand why someone would want to bash a peice of art like the Jato. Why not a savage or revo.

Cause I have owned most RC's and the Jato is one of the only I have not bashed!

iv jumped mine distance wise an easy 20 or 30 feet and not broke anything but it kinda matters on how you land you could jump 3 feet and land weird and something could break.

If you put tires like Moabs or mashers you will be fine. I did mine stock and it was fine. Its a tough little truck but I just think the bigger tires work better for every situation except road racing.

i agree with twomanytoys bigger tyres are better for jumping i have moabs on my jato and can do 10 foot jumps without it breaking , be careful while doing jumps though to not land on the back of the jato because the stock shock tower is pretty weak, ive got an aluminium shock tower and it withstands everything you throw at it

until you crack the tranny case by using the alumin shock tower...

I was jumping my jato today and i have not jumped very much. It was a small jump and i broke the a rear a-arm and i did not get over 3 ft. it was a real small dirt hill and i only landed about 30% of my jumps on all 4's. Usually it would land weird and flip around and roll on all 4's.

Ive set up a weak piece of wood against a curb and shot mine at least 9ft in the air. Landed on all fours, but it was pavement. Nothing happened, and that was with the anaconda wheels.

And breaking the tranny case is exactly why i didnt by the rear aluminum shock tower.
