The Wookies Jato 2.5

Not that I know of. But if anyone is reading this, regardless if you need it or not, could you please take a moment and email Integy and ask them to bring back their Jato aluminum transmission housing? Much appreciated, and I don't even own one anymore

The motor that came with the car, this was a quick tear down. Basically I lubed the bearings, both contacts of the con rod, and the piston and sleeve.

Good point.

My Jato uses the middle battery box as the actual battery box. Never had one in the back but the extra box is there anyway.

I bet it's there if you want to wheelie more.

I agree. I'd never do it though! 70 mph nitro wheelies!!! What could go wrong???

The truck is surprizingly stable at high speed wheelies. It will do them if you get it riding the wheelie early and gradually increase the throttle. Ya just gotta be ready for that gear change

Mine is stock but 3.3. Maybe torque but if it wheelied at speed, it leaned and started turning too.
I will admit I did not mess with the shocks much once they felt decent for offroad. I'm sure it contributed to it if not caused the issue.

Mine would do that every once in awhile. I always assumed it hit a pebble. But there was one parking lot I was playing on and it was like a new surface, and it rode the wheelies really good. Maybe your diff fluid could stand to go up a bit.

I would set the truck up differently now. I think I have more knowledge at least?
