The regular mamba motors are too small for use in the Jato. You really want a 540 size "S" can motor. If your LHS carries the Mamba, they most likely can order the Mamba Max system. You don't have to use the Mamba Max system, but it's by far the best value out there right now.

I'm not absolutely sure, but I do believe Mike (the owner of this site) ships his products worldwide. And I will tell you that you'll be hard-pressed to find better customer service. But I understand if you want to stick to local shops.

2200mAh is only 2.2Ah. It may work but your runtime will be short. Mike also carries Maxamps batteries. If you don't see what you want at the storefront, he can order whatever you need.

The batteries in my conversion (emolis) are the cells found in the Milwaukee V28 power tool system. I just tore the pack apart to get the cells and arranged them for my use. You might be able to find that locally (make sure it's the V28 system though). Although, you'll get somewhat less runtime than I do since you'll be running a hotter motor to get the speed you want. They are heavier than lipos (100g per cell), but have metal casings for added protection. Also, they aren't quite as volitaile as lipos.
