My problem is, I can't leave well enough alone. Nothing I have is anywhere close to stock. Most of my RCs I own (the ones Im keeping and not selling off) are electrics getting converted TO nitro. It's a sickness, can't help it.
Post videos of your Jato once it's ready, eh?
I absolutely will. It should be a sick puppy. I’ll probably need to put foam tires on it to get any sort of speed from it.. or XO-1 tires. I have Revo tires on it now and they spin when it shifts into 2nd gear every time, and road rages spin like hard drag slicks. It won’t wheelie for beans because the tires just spin. I’ve gone back and forth between running it on road and off road. I even considered putting my Paris Racing Nova BX21 into it, but that was more work than it’s worth. Not to mention a waste of a really nice Nova from 20 years ago.
