Talking Traxxas Jato 2.5 Nitro RC

Just wanted to post up a some pics of my Jato RC. I had it out a few weeks ago and was going off some nice jumps and broke the rear shock tower and bent a shock a little lol. So I decided to rip it down to the frame and clean / replace parts. Lets me know what ya think. Its a 2.5 CC and has 2 gears and the top speed is 55+mph.


Aluminum Chassis


TRX 2.5CC Motor

Motor close up

Electric starter

Installed Steering and throttle servo's

Front Control Arms & Suspension Arms

Front / Rear Suspension & Control Arms

Suspension arms

Installed the shocks for the front

Side shot of the front / rear shocks

ricer dual exhaust lol

Exhaust mounted up and fuel tanked slapped in

I need to make a custom exhaust pipe but this is working for now. lol

Put the rims and tires on. I have a set for dirt and for street. Those rears on there right now I just use for burnouts.

Front shot of my street tires

Custom made headlights

This is the body I have for now. My air filter is off the side now and I kinda had to cut the body to make it fit. But it does a difference having a aftermarket VS stock. But I flipped and cracked the body quite a few times lmao good times

Shot of the headlights

Close up shot of the headlights.

I got a few old RC given to me so Ive chopped the front grill and bumper and some of the hood off a ford f150 and Im gonna do some body work and see what I can come up with. I also have a Tamya I think thats the make and its the Subrau with 4wd and the gold rims and blue paint. Well if also else on the board is into RC'n Im always game. Its a great hobby and lots of fun. I"ll post some videos up when I can.
