Anyone figure out a way to make the jato a bit taller?
I mostly run in grass and I run 1/8 buggy tires/wheels which raised it some and just today, I installed savage shock ends to give me a bit more height, but I"m afraid they won't hold up since I think the savage shock shaft is a bit larger, but I did add some CA to them while threading them on and I did my best to not strip them.
Considering where the arms mount, that actually gave me about another 1/2" of clearance in the rear. Now the front and rear actually sit level instead of at an incline. I've been looking to see if anyone makes wider arms, figuring that would raise it some as well, depending on where the shocks mount, but not sure I'd want to change from RPM as RPM is what makes makes this thing so durable. Fragile is not fun.
Just curious what others have done. I bash the snot out of this thing. Even with just a 2.5R in it, it's a riot to take out and scream across a park with.
Here's some ride hot shots currently:
