My E-jato

[Wild YFZ 450]

Well I decided to convert my jato over to Electric.. I think it turned out good, I have been running it like this for a while on 2s/3s.. It is locked into 2nd running MM with a Medusa 36-50-4800kv Its a pretty sweet setup..






Heres a picture with the stock slash tires.. They work rather good on the Jato compared to the Slash..

Also heres a video of the slash/E-jato.. Its mostly E-jato.. just get through the first 2 minutes or so..

Nice! How do you like the power of the medusa on 3s? How does it compare to the mamba on 3s?

[Wild YFZ 450]

Doesn't even compare...

+1!!! On the CRT.5, I tried a MM 4600 setup on 2s and it always had heat trouble, even geared really low (46/12). I put in a 36-50-3300 on 3s and it is amazing how much more power/torque it has geared higher and stays cool.

On the Slash, I tried a 5700 setup on 10 NiMH cells. That too did not come even close to comparing to a Medusa 36-50-2200 on 4s.

Hey 450, How do you like that 2s hard case flightmax pack? I am thinking about getting one...

[Wild YFZ 450]

I had 2 of them for my e-savage to run in a series.. but then one of them died.. I wouldn't get them.. There no warranty packs pretty much...

[Wild YFZ 450]

Well I am trying to get to 100mph with my jato.. That is my goal.. I have the gearing and all to make it.. I just need to get that all to the ground.. On paper it should be more than enough.. I need to find a good body for this thing.. any reccomendations?

Nice setup. What did you do to get the slash rims to work on the fronts. They are a nice tire for a setup that's closer to the ground. I run them on my LS10 and they work great. Got a set from the slayer that I was going to run on the Jato also with some 14mm hub adapters for the rear but still need to figure out the fronts. Don't really want to convert to a rustler/stampede front end due to the already $$ spent on Jato rims and 17mm adapters that would then be useless.

the tire/wheel combo will be your problem for your goal of 100mph....I would try to use more of a street tire

All I did was put a Spacer.. Then a 14mm Hex and slid them on.. Works rather good and spin free with little to no play.. I can take a picture for you..As you can see from the video the handle very well and bite very well..

I actually am planning on using 1/8 buggy foams on on-roads.. Any suggestions for tires? Or even a good body.. Im thinking of using a 1/10 touring body or soemthing really flat.. not sure what yet though..

[Wild YFZ 450]

Well I decided to do a bit of an update on the Jato and decided not to go for the 100mph.. I had everything fine but the MM ran soo hot it melted the Positive lead off of the board...So I decided to just turn it into a all out fun basher.. Going to get 1/8 buggy tires and a 4s lipo for it and my slash...Along with my 3s..Also took the wing and the wheelie bar off of my E-savage (since im not running it anymore ESC & Motor in slash ) and put it ion the jato.. I also plan on getting some longer shocks for the E-jato... Might use the slash shocks.. Should be good.
