The Wookies Jato 2.5

[Chubaka]

Been wanting one for a while and due to a generous group of individuals that turned into reality.

First step is a bath and inspection. Probably gonna throw my 3.3 in. No replacement for displacement.

I'm hoping next pay day a big jug of alcohol for this thing. A pay day or two later and a new body to keep this one as it's hard to get. And the new body will have light buckets and bars.

The stock anacondas are going on until I can afford a better set for some speed runs.

Let the fun begin.

As far as the car goes, the only thing that was wrong with it when I closeted it was that shock tower breaking away from the transmission. There is the new trans case and gasket set in there to fix that.

Hopefully that motor can be saved, because it ran great 8 years ago.

Bit I'm really glad we finally got that to you. It will make an awesome speed runner. One if the fastest RC I've ever driven, but I think our Kraton would giver her a heck of a run

Always wanted a revo 3.3 and jato in yellow. Tge same body this car has is avaliable in "prographix" meaning it has the tribal design in black shades and needs the final color. That will be the body for running. Also want the orange jato 3.3 body or it in solar flare to match the xmaxx I want.

My only rant. Traxxas stopped selling the exo carbon parts tra5522g in the last year or two. And the body mount makes only stadium bodies fit. Gonna design and 3d print something hopefully.

They also have a stick pack rechargeable nimh which is a must.

I thought about throwing a .15 in here. It's a 2 speed so it's gonna book it regardless.

Looking at how I can mount my gopro in it. Tgere will be videos.

I hope you didn't pay too much for that piece of

Although I'm still breaking it into kit form I couldn't resist. Gonna look clean with a pull start.

I'm gonna have to keep watching this... find out all the stuff I need to upgrade... You get to be the test pilot AND crash test dummy on this project!
Hopefully your carbon stuff will be easy to hunt down!

Oh, the brakes suck on that thing too. Don't drive it towards anything

Fixed!

Well aware. All the nitro 2wd suck at stopping. This is the fastest one so I plan on it being the worse. I'll pm my testing site. Big wide open area. I'm hoping better tires will help the stopping.

Nice!


A little bit slimy, but still nice!

These trucks are so heavy. Def not a good weight to brake ratio.
Needs disc brakes!
I ran mine in a Fire dept parking lot and it wasn't big enough for the 2 speed to really open up.
These trucks were SO fast! Esp for when they first came out. Pretty crazy!

Mine is 3.3 flavored. Not sure if that contributes to its heft.

I'm plopping in a 3.3 in mine. Maybe over the summer it'll find a .18 O.S.

I'd like to see a vid of the .18 running in that!!!

When I get it you will. As long as I don't lose my spot. It's for sale. A tad out of my budget.

A little bit slimy and hairy, but still nice!

Fixed it for ya!

Ever try stopping with just rear brakes on a motorcycle? Yeah, it's the same physics!

With or without engine brake?
On a kawasaki 450 all the time I used to but that was an atv.

@Littlemotor ever see two battery boxes on a car?
