E-Jato with diamond plate

[bruce750i]

I ran my VE-Jato w/ M.M. & Velineon on a FP Evo 3700 4s1p & a UBEC. Or I could of went Traxxas all the way, drop the UBEC and use thier VXL brushless ESC on 3s1p lipo or 9s1p ib4200s.
I had this project in mind before the VXL's came out and filled the role. Anyway I loved the challange of fabbing a unique R/C.
E-Jato's are like snowflakes, no two are the same.

That's freakin' sweet dude! Nice work!

Nice work!!!

Thanks for looking guys.

Update, I went back to a mechcanical brake, 2-speed, and no reverse. Just like a dirty old nitro Jato. I'll try it for awhile this way, but I see me locking it in second gear again.

pretty nice man. hows the vxl do on 4s? im looking at building a 4s rustler running a vxl and mamba max esc. or maybe another castle esc that has brakes(is there one?) how did you make the motor mount? im looking at converting a nitro rusty to electric as well

[bruce750i]

Revracer I had the 4s and MM w/Bec in the V3500 rusty it was pretty nasty fast.
For the motor mount use heavy paper to test fit, trim & fold then trace onto thick metal and drill hacksaw dremil and bend.

what kind of speeds and gearing did you see?

[bruce750i]

I don't know on both of those. I'am thinking like 19-22/83? 48p and 50mph+

my e-jato vxl running a velineon esc and motor sure can move. on 3s a few days ago she collided with a 3s velineon and novak 6.5 beast of a bandit and borke the rear diff housing on the jato.

[Revracer]

got any idea on speed? im looking at doing this soon

how aobut i give you a link to a simple throttle test i did a few weeks back? it was only on 6 cell 4200 nimh batts but wil lgive you a good idea of the kind of power she has.

[Revracer]

well i know how the vxl is. i have one in a stampede. im curious about seing a good hard run with it in a jato. and how the jato is and everything since ive never really run a setup one in real life. ran some guys 2.5 but he had slicks and you couldnt even drive it...

here si the jato vxl vid:

doesnt seem any faster than a rustler... but it probably handles a lot better... you running with 2speed?
