    Your first link doesn't work.

    I'm not a nitro expert, but that os (the second link) looks like a good motor. But the jato comes stock with the 2.5 which is a .15 engine.

    Good Race Engine? Like .12? Nova Rossi Or something like that makes great ROAR legal engines. So does O.S.

    I know that Slayden is using an .12 O.S. engine in the jato, maybe its that one.

    that looks like a good .12 engine. It is a 5 port also. looks to be a good racer engine.

    Five-ports are ROAR illegal in 1/10 on-road, and they are illegal in off-road, too. This would make a much better ROAR-legal truck engine. Of course, not all tracks follow ROAR rules. ;)

    good race engine
    ROAR legal engines
    ROAR-legal truck engine
    Because the TRX2.5 is illegal in ROAR events.

    if you are going to spend money on a different engine why not get one that bigger and has more power than the stock one which i feel will be plenty for the jato
