I've always wanted a Jato. But I could never get my hands on one. Those are Super Badass.

Damn, I wish I had your skills in tuning. Someday hopefully! I was thinking i wanted a Jato. Now I know I want one! Great video!

Had a Jato with a .21TM engine. I used a header for an HPI RS42 and it worked beautifully. Had a Buku pipe on it and was consistently running 70 - 71 mph. Sold all my 10th scale stuff when I got into 5th scale. This video makes me want to get another one. I miss that truck.

Revisiting the Jato Revisit. EB Mods OS 18TM with HPI rotostart(small lite one way hex brg, TRA#4011). It fills the gap between the 3.3 and 21 offerings, and walks right away from them. Probably 30+ gallons across that motor since about 2006. It was raced in a literace Ballistic Chassis Revo for a very long time. I had to put 2 oz on the front of the Jato, for some semblance of control. Rest in peace Ed Bridges, your talents are missed greatly, something they will never know. Nitro burner since Team Associated took it's very first steps. Preheat your pullstart/Rotostart/Starter Box/ motor boys, and any miniature nitro motor in general, for all it's days.

This is so cool bro!!.. I was simply looking through rc videos and thought to view yours my buddy had a Jato 3.3 and I always thought it was cool I myself have 2 Revo 3.3s and 1 T Max 33 but here's the kicker I grew up in Aurora and when I saw where you were running them my jaw dropped because my dad used to bartend at Hap's north end tap and right over dekings tavern and I would always bring either my Revo or my t Max and run them along that very same stretch of Trail off hankes road and I sat at the same spot you were sitting while running my trucks and still have a lot of friends in that particular area so if you see someone running a Revo around over there this coming spring you know it's me!

Just getting around to rebuilding a jato I got for $150 from a guy who swapped every part to aluminum. I lightened it with rpm arms and added more stock plastic and want to put an O.S .21 on it. Never had an O.S and look forward to seeing the difference.

I’ve bought a Jato or two for that price usually with a wreck that needs fixin but I take the opportunity to do the upgrades as well. The O.S. Will be smooth and more torque, even without gearing up for more speed it makes the truck more fun have the added grunt. This truck at those high speeds is only good for straight line (not saying that’s a bad thing either 😁)

I know this is a older vid but I just bought a T Maxx that supposedly has 3 tanks of fuel through it, so looking up some nitro content by the looks of the bottom of chassis and some other parts I kind of believe the 3 tanks or so...anyway gonna clean it up and get it running and burn some nitro...engine is free and has compression...so got a little project for now...great content and your Jatos are sweet hopefully I'll find one of those next or maybe buy a new one...👍👍💯

@edrc1793

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! I did not do a comparison, I don’t think it would affect the top speed much but it will affect the takeoff performance and the corner handling. I replace the easy start on all my Traxxas vehicles just because of the weight savings. Also the weight you are removing is placed very high up on the car so it affects the nimbleness of the cars/trucks.

I have had my jato 15 years and I barely have 2 gallons ran through the engine. LOL I pulled it apart and cleaned it all up since it sat 10 years. Rediscovering the car now since I never really played with it. That aluminum case on the tranny..... No longer sold??

I think with gearing that OS 21 TM will squeeze some more mph , the pinch tends to be really tight on these as well after a gallon or so they really go hard , Ive got one a new one on the way with ceramic bearings and ports cleaned up for max hp from rbmods , he is really good if not the best at modifications to nitro engines.

@Taboloncawonthemasters

Жыл бұрын

What’s the pinch?

The whole thing with engines running fast while having 5+ gallons through them is because the compression is low meaning the resistance in the engine is low which is why it can hit much higher RPMs but not have as much low end torque. If you ever heard the saying "it ran better than its best before it died", this is what it means. Usually those engines start to have tuning issues and eventually lose so much compression they arent usable.

@edrc1793

The Jato is known to have a borderline weak trans case. Especially when using anything stronger than stock engine. The alloy cases are very nice for sure. It would be a great upgrade for any truck. I have not had issues with the Revo case yet but if I did I would consider an alloy one for it also.

Love your videos bro, i got a question I recently got a used jato 3.3 and I’m not sure what type of nitro should i use on it? Do you like the 20% nitro traxxas?

Hi Eric, it takes 4 tanks to get a descent break in. OS is a true big block. O.S TZ.18 is the real powerhouse for 1/10. Just my 2 cents.

The speed difference assuming gearing is same is just due to the fact that the 3.3 is small block that revs higher, may have less power but peak rpm will be higher than the os so itll spin those wheels faster reaching a higher top speed. U should see these things go 75mph with a race spec .15 touring car engine that'll spin close to 50k rpm.few guys on here that got novarossi's in em. Weeeeeeeeee!
