My E-jato

to combat the MM running hot you can disable the onboard BEC and run an external BEC/Rx pack I did this with my upgraded VXL Rustler I have running a Feigao 9L with 4s lipo

Idk If you can tell but in all the Pics there is a BEC right next to the MM its right on the case.. It was just the crazy stupid gearing.. And the starting power I was and other settings where crazy.. 47t/76t gearing huge tires and a small ratio in the Tranny.. Locked in 2nd..

I didnt see it before, I see it now....remember for the ESC to run cooler you need to disconnect the red wire from the wire connection from the ESC to Rx...just a reminder....I run my Rustler with Mod 1 gearing using a Revo 40 tooth spur and a 16 tooth pinion and it runs pretty warm but within limits.....I got my best reults using solid foam 1/8 scale on road wheel/tire combo...heres a link

Yes I did remove it, You where running 16/40 = 2.5 ratio.. I was running a 47/76= 1.61
Not to count my Internal ratios are alot higher..I might pick up a set of those tires.. But I Will probably be getting Badlands on Buggy tires and throw them on for Bashing.. Just trying to have fun with it..

Here is the Updated Jato, I got the Vantage chassis had to change everything around.. The weight balance isn't that bad but its still not perfect.. This thing is stupid it destroyed my tires.. I also got my Big bores for my Slash Finally. Had to order another set because the first ones never showed up.

Looks like you might need some new tires lol!

This makes me wanna get a jato. I like how you placed your battery.

[Wild YFZ 450]

Yea I got buggy tires on it now, That was basically the only spot I could even put the battery, It wouldn't fit length wise and it fits perfect in that spot. Yes it is a BIT off balance but it isn't to bad...

Lookin good. Hows the rascal been lately, or did you sell it?

[Wild YFZ 450]

I still have it stripped the spur, Can't find a replacement its just sitting there as a roller

[truggyracer1]

nice conversion! i got a converted jato roller i didnt get the pinion with it any suggestions? i was told a 22 t pinion is what i would need it has the stock spur??? help? also planning on using the 4800 medusa hobbywing 60 or 80 amp esc and zippy 5000mah 2s 7.4's this a good combo?

[Wild YFZ 450]

All depends on what tires and what the tranny is in.. Mine is locked into second gear.... Also I am using buggy tires.. With stock like 2.2 or 2.8 tires.. I would say anywhere from a 20-25, but it depends on everything else.. Also if your only running a 2s lipo you can gear a lot higher.. But I wouldn't run it on 2s bit to slow.. I would at least run on 3s or even 4s.. good look and post some pics here if ya can

[truggyracer1]

not a pretty conversion yet gonna make it look nicer as far as locked into second not sure yet wil find out soon enough! could go 5000 mah 3s 11.1 lipo? going to run some 2.2's will post pics soon

[Wild YFZ 450]

Yea I had a guide on how to lock the Jato into second I will post it up if you want me to.. I think a 3s 5000mah lipo will be perfect
If you lock it into 2nd and run some 2.2s you can gear it pretty high some where around a 2.5-3 ratio

[truggyracer1]

you can post it if you'd like that would be cool! thanks! right now the motor mount is just a piece of aluminum stock mounted to the tranny case might use the revo mount instead and relocate the battery pack?? pinion size should be 20 to 25 still with 2.2's? thanks again for the help new to E conversions
