Yea thats what it should be with the tranny locked into second..Heres the guide
Here it is.. How to lock a Jato Transmission into 2nd gear.. I will be showing the "Pin method" There is a few others though..
First step is take apart the transmission and the "Centrifical clutch piece..Should look like this

Next you can drill 1 or 2 holes for the Pins..Make sure you go far out enough so it doesn't get in the way of the Bearing and so the gear is the thickest on the outside.. Just make sure you don't drill through it.. You can even use the bearing as a guidelin..You can drill either one or 2 I used only 1 since I am using 1/8 wheel pins..It should fit snug...

Then put the gears back in. Remember you can Take out the first gear so it will be less rotating mass.. Just make sure you keep the one way bearing in there as the spacer...

then slap it all together..

Throw in you battery[&:] ( or fill your tanks[:)] ) and have fun driving..

I just converted my Jato. I put the single speed in it. Does anyone know the ratio of that?

Wild YFZ 450 · 03.22.2009, 01:54 PM

Look it up or use Brian G's speed calculator andit will have the ratios preset.

BrianG · 03.22.2009, 02:24 PM

Welcome to the forums Z-Fire. FYI: The ratio is 2.0667:1. And the calculator Wild is talking about is here.

Do you mean in my setup? If so, the mount uses the existing nitro holes and adjustment method.

I finaly got to look at the pics of yours...

2 questions

does the chassis flex cause any problems??

any chance you can make another one??

BrianG · 04.03.2009, 07:29 PM

The chassis does flex, but because part of the mount is actually under the tranny, the flex doesn't affect the mesh.

lol, I would make another for ya, but they are a PITA for me to make. Hacksaw, files, and dremel tool are a poor substitute for proper machining equipment! However, you could probably pick up a different mount, like the one for the Revo and modify that to suit.
