New life for a Jato

[Jt]

I got this Jato in trade for some work and parts, here is a pic of it when I got it.

I overhauled it and now this is what it looks like.

New parts added are some RPM blue a-arms and front bumper, MIP ball diff and front axles, Hex Heads screw kit by Hexcrews, a top plate brace from Aggressive Technologies, 17mm wheel hex conversion from New Era, Traxxas Blue tuned Resonator Pipe, Golden Horizons Blue Aluminum rear hubs. I am sure there is some other bits that I am missing.

Let me know what you think of the newest addition to the r/c garage.

Is that a 2.5R JATO?

Funny thing is the JATO will most likely be one of the fastest RC you own. Traxxas needs to make a $wd version of the JATO to really ba able to use the power of the new 3.3R engine.

Overhaul looks great, the 17mm conversion is also a nice setup, very nicely done.

Looks real nice much better than it did. Is that the fuel filter with the priming bulb I see?

Yes it is only a 2.5 (with a monster of a cooling head), with the 17mm conversion I figure I can rotate the tires and get more use out of all of them rather than just burning through the rears all the time.

No priming bulb just a fuel filter



Thanks for all the positive comments guys, wasn't really expecting many responses on a savage forum.


Thanks for looking and for taking the time to post to all that posted.

Any RC that is capible of the speeds the JATO is has to be respected. I have a 3.3R in my JATO and it is the truck that impresses everyone with it's speed.

Don't get me wrong the Savage and Hellfire move, just not like the JATO. 50 MPH wheelies FTW:jamout:
