The biggest problem I had was my MGM 8012 controller (I believe I have that fixed now) and I plan on trying it again this coming Thursday night.
I'm going to put the MGM 8012 back in it with the Lehner basic xl 4200 and 6 nimh cells. I'm going to mount a brake servo to the back of the rear shock tower and use mechanical brakes, while leaving the transmission in the normal nitro mode with the one-way and two-speed.

The second biggest problem I had was getting weight to the back, but I think I just about had that down when I started having the problems with the speed control.

As far as durability, I only broke one front arm in the 3 months I drove it at the track. I've broken quite a few more parts on my T4 in the 5 months I've driven that truck. I don't know how the Jato holds up to bashing, but it has held up GREAT to racing.

I think I'm going to get it back together, rebuild the shocks, and try it on the track again this coming Thursday night. Maybe I'll drive it better than my T4 :003:
