traxxas has another winner...............this trucks gonna do some serious damage(especially with that guy SLAYDEN driving it(LOL)..............LARRY and RALPH did a great job at the ttraxxas "tent"........they, just like all the traxxas guys, were great company reps.....................

[Neo_Viper]

Good for them... =P

PLEASE tell me about the car, did you see it run?

[alexrckid]

well, the car looked like quality all the way.....but, they didn't even have any fuel in the tank....................i would imagine that there'll be a few at the track that i race at(in connecticut) this summer, though.).

[Neo_Viper]

I am from Preston, near Norwich, where are you at?

[alexrckid]

Yea I also saw it at the WRAM show. It looked awesome. Everything was very well put together. Loved the hex hardware and all the cool features. Felt very balanced when I picked it up (everything lower and more centered). Shocks felt a little soft, but they are threaded so you can adjust. Besides that, it LOOKED flawless. I cant comment on preformance because they didnt have it running.

Just wondering why you guys love hex so much? i hatted when i got the rd carbon upper chassis on my rusty, that they were hex. Before i sold it i had 5 striped hexes, i like phillips better.

[mastastelett]

I suppose it's all preference... I personal prefer hex.

I saw it at the WRAM show as well. I talked to the Traxxas boys about it. Not only does it look good it feels good. Well balanced and tight. According to Ralph at the 'tent' they have actually clocked it at 60 mph plus, but the final design for the exhaust is not complete so they are being conservative on speed est. I was surprised to see the 'old' 2.5 motor, not the 'new' 2.5r,(pricing concerns) but all us Revo guys already have nicely broken in ones leftover from our OS 18tm swaps. Definitely a racing machine. Mine is already on order through my LHS. And lets face it, if you are even remotely serious about this hobby, you already have a better radio than the TQ it's going to come with so don't let that stop you. Better yet, let it stop you so I have less competition at the track. (lol)

Porting adjustments have been moved down to the 2.5's now. So all your missing out on is the 2.5r head.


Yah I will pre-order one as soon as tower lists it. Reason being tower, I get $25 off!

Ill be at the East Coast Hobby show in a few weeks near Philadelphia, looking foward to seeing it there and you never know, maybe I can come home with one that day. First time going there, do they have venders and dealers you can buy from? DJ

[wombat427]

maddevildog, They had vendors at the WRAM show but they were mostly independent retailers who set up booths. The Jato won't be released until mid April and even then they are probably all spoken for. The guys at the Traxxas booth answered all my questions but had nothing for sale. They are there to spread the word only and do a great job. Heck, the Jato didn't even have a production tuned pipe on it yet - just a prototype. I would have loved to come home with the Jato, but I think they would have noticed it missing .
