Mathias Rc thank you
Nitro all the way that top plate is well I nice I need one for mine
Great job! And now you cal sell off that ol' expensive to run veg oil engine! Hehe, in the UK that fuel can cost $46 a gallon!!!
Sounded like and the way it was accelerating that your clutch was super loose and slipping badly. Nice conversion.

Heh, that's how nitro ones feel! Noooooo!
Anyway we can get a part list?
I'm building one now. I'm thinking of using a 4S system from an Arrma. I'm hoping the gears survive. What motor and esc combo was that again?

I used a hobbywing max10 and the stock 4s motor from my Traxxas Maxx
It's a shame hot racing will not make any more of the metal single speed conversion kits. SJT1000SS.. I have been searching on and off for a year or so. I always strip out the input gear.

Do a mod 1 conversion on your transmission. I stripped out 5 traxxas single speed conversion kits and ended up ordering some mod 1 gears

Hey Sean, We currently have this part in stock. Get 'm while you can!
I just finished my conversation with the same kit but I don’t like the way the receiver is exposed because it’s not waterproof. Is there anything you recommend to try covering it up
@kenny2644

Either a 3D printed box or get a waterproof receiver! That’s all I can really think of
Would a rustler body fit in the jato just because I want something that will cover the big hole where the engine used to be

It should but you would need to change the mounts! Might have to 3D print them! I don’t have this RC anymore! Thanks for watching
How did you end up doing the Servo mount. I just started the build and I cant figure it out.

I believe I used part of the original servo housing! Pause the video on the part after I have the servo in! You should be able to see it! If you want to sign up for my Patreon I could give u pics and one on one help through there?
That motor needs a castle mmx6s esc and a good 70+ c battery
I must have to older ,2.5 I just picked it up and old guy broke the motor it with one tank and never ran it,,been sitting 10 years,,or better
So I've made my own conversion for my jato. But can't make the car stop any suggestions. It doesn't have reverse or a way to stop

Lock it into 2nd gear that will fix both. Or add in a servo for the mechanical brake..
Can you send us the links for the pieces that were used? I have the same car, I want to convert it as I did

I forgot exactly! I don’t have links or do affiliate marketing yet! Keep an eye out! I will probably go live later and I will pull it down and show ya on the live as long as you join in? Pretty sure all I did was search Jato 3.3 electric conversion on EBay! It was a kit for most of the parts by hot racing and then you need single speed conversion and proper spur and pinion! That should be it! Join in on my live later and I’ll answer anymore questions you have
Hey can you tell us where you got the hot racing conversion kit

I’m really contemplating this build on my jato would you recommend doing it or keep it nitro?
@kenny2644

Tegridy Rc I would recommend it! Makes it faster and way more fun! Also makes it easier to manage and gets rid of all the hassles of nitro! I do enjoy nitro too but I choose to only have 1 nitro truck! That’s the T-maxx nitro! Nitro is cool and has some unique stuff about it but can also be a huge hassle! I like both but prefer electric! Way more fun and hassle free and way faster! You really just lose the motor sound and the uniqueness of having a real engine on it! I love my e-Jato! Very unique and fast!

What pinion gear did you put on the motor

Why not with the brushless system of a Traxxas Rustler?

Marco Ilic didn’t have one sitting around. I had a 4s motor extra from my maxx after upgrading it and I like hobbywing esc so that’s what I did!!! I like it! Whole lotta fun on 4s! I may change the gear ratio and see how fast I can get it to go! Traxxas esc are ok but do burn up. When I buy esc I buy hobbywing! Otherwise when I get a new rc like Traxxas I use that esc until it goes bad and then I put a hobbywing in it! I’ve had good luck with em. Tough as nails and way cheaper than Traxxas esc.

That sounds boring now, you need to put back the breathing engine in there.

When I see anybody doing donuts like that I usually skip the video that's the worst thing you can do to the differentials and all your bearings let's just see what it could do now since it's electric you can't even control it right
Nice build! I am always looking for good instructional videos for our parts. I will log this one and likely send you some viewers. Feel free to send me links if you have any other vids that you think we might like. I will like, share and subscribe if I see anything. For those interested, that part is Hot Racing JT100ECC06.
