I had a Traxxas Jato once I had to get rid of it because it would try to flip upside down. It was tRX 3.3 motor.


I was thinking about buying it but the problem is I don't want to go through what I went through the last time how do you keep a Traxxas Jato from flipping Upside Down constantly?






Do I need to convert it to a 2.5 jato?


Somebody help me because when it does a willy it honestly does it in a time that you're not ready for it to do it. So you want to tune the engine but it's too fast to even try.



I was reading something and it said it's better to converted to a 2.5 and I want to know if I could wear it to a 2.5 will it be like a regular stadium truck again?


Please know I don't own a Traxxas Jato I'm considering getting one but I'm trying to see how I can beat this problem? Thank you.
 
Aluminum front bulkhead, and even lead weights or sockets on the front to keep it down. A smaller motor would also do.

Traxxas makes a titanium chassis, unsure if that will help with weight down low.
 
Gearing it as low as possible with help too. Type of tires can play a role in this also and I'm pretty sure they make a wheelie bar for it.

I think it cones with a cheap plsstic stick on wheels. If he could make a drag car wheelie bar work it would be great, but the flips may destroy it.
