New Radio

Is there an easy way to replace the servo's in a Jato without taking apart 90% of the car?
Also on a sidenote, this is the 1st FM radio I have ever owned. Is the receiver antenna supposed to be like 4 inches?

IDK about the first and no FM RX's have long antenna's just like AMs do....or at least mine does. Only RXs I know of that have short antennas are 2.4GHz

OK, got the servo's installed. Tested it out. Never have I driven something this fast. This truggy is sick fast. Now for a question or 2:
How do I do a wheelie? I couldn't get the tires to stick long enough to get the front end off the ground. Without a controlled start, the tires break loose and the truck goes into a doughnut spin. Funny to watch, but not what I want to do.
Is there anyway to run this on, say a baseball field without losing control? It seems it would need sand paddle tires to keep any kind of traction.
I also get a lot of exhaust smoke in the tank at the end of a run. Is this normal?

The stock Jato tires are more of a street tire. put it on the street and it should wheelie all you want. Riding a wheelie without loosing control is an art form. Unless you get a wheelie bar but I dont count those as legit wheelies. As for the exhuast its possble since your fuel tank pressure line is from your exhaust pipe but if theres alot then your probably running to rich would be my guess anyway.

I wanna see some video of you rocking some long wheelies with no bar, bumper, spoiler, etc to save you. I'll even chip in $5 on the next body.

Wheelies are addictive to me, love the wheelie bar, and it still takes some skill to keep it up there even with the bar without going over backwards or dropping the front back down. Unless you have the bar really low that is.

I was on the street and also in my driveway. At first I thought it was the driveway sealer, but when I took it to the street it did the same thing. The tires are from when the truck was new (I would guess 4-5 years ago. It came with the AM rx/tx) so maybe I should get new rubber? Any suggestions?

I never said I did it alot or well. I just think anyone can do it with a wheelie bar so that doesn't count. If you want to use one more power to ya!

As for the Jato maybe the slipper is too loose? Only other thing I can think of.
