search + sad face = ???????


i dont like games. and if your telling me to do a search i suggest you go to the revo board and yell at people who ask "os or RB??"

[ThermalRD]

Ya, thats incredibly fast. Mine outta scream on 30%!!!!

[Unbreakable207]

Like I said in the last thread like this, the environment plays a key factor.

how come there has been two threads on the review and the only thing stated is the top speed. I find handling, steering, jumping, etc much more important, rather then top speed.

[StinkyE-Maxx]

Track Test Driving is 7.8. it is good medium. Two negative is Friction shocks give a bumpy, harsh ride. and second is Servo canoot be used with a standard receiver. Oh well, you decision to buy JATO. Good Luck.

[Unbreakable207]

wait so it got a bad review? I need to pick up this mag tomorrow, you guys are confusing with your english.

[nitrohalic3]

well most people on here care only about spped cause they already know if its a traxxas its going to be a great car. and what is this about friction shocks? ive enver seen an rc car with air suspension. it got a good rating but was marked down in the electronics department. i orginally wanted this car so i could ahve something fast. but my nitro mt should be able to push 50 after i get an 0s 18 and different gearing(2 speed) i may get a revo instead.

[Unbreakable207]

If I were to stick a fantom .18 engine in the jato and gear it all the way up, it would probably blow away almost anything. Some .18 engines just have crazzzzyyy power, especially for stadium trucks.

electronics doesn't matter to me, I already have a futaba 3pm waiting for the jato. Not to mention I just ordered blue clawz and gladiators and edge tires.

How did it do on there track testing? What did they say about racing and how it will perform against competition?

Thanks.

Ya it will. That should give it a real bump up in speed.
Did they test it on 20% or 30%?

are you sure you read the right review? what the heck are these friction shocks you mention? and why are the servos incompatible? The Jato has the 2018 throttle and 2055 steering servos, so why are they incompatible?

[StinkyE-Maxx]

Go read RC Car Action June 2006 and you look Tracking Test. They tell me what they said. I always read tracking test before I buy new one. I am not in hurry. Be careful to read and think about it. I don't want to be mistake. I have non-traxxas all of 5 RC are running good. I don't hate any RC's companies, I support all them and have fun.

[Unbreakable207]

you english could need some tweaking bro.

People, im going to pick a issue up tomorrow, then we will see what is says in English.

first off, i highly doubt you picked up the 2006 issue, and second, you didn't answer my questions. i don't have the magazine, and i doubt i will get a chance to buy it, so please clear up my questions if you can.

1.) what are the "friction shocks" you mention?

2.) why are the servos incompatible?

3.) Are you sure you read the right review?

[Heavy Throttle]

Let's see, Friction shocks are available on Micro RC cars, Radio Shack, and Toys R' Us so called toys. We already know the Jato has Oil Filed Shocks, you can even read that one the Jato Specs Page here on Traxxas' web site. The servo part also inquires about Micro Cars/Trucks, they use the all-in-one reciever and require the servo's that are not compatable with stock recievers.

Sounds like you totally missread the article for another truck, or RCCA did one totaly messed up job at proof reading and messed the article up themselves.

[stevvyb]

err...
I was lookin at rccaraction.com and it says absolutely nothing in the latest issue about the Jato as far as i can tell.
Click on latsest issue or whatever and see for yourself...

[StinkyE-Maxx]

I told you that I have RC Car Action magazine on June 2006 here. You will read it soon and you will be you will be sorry because I am right.

[wombat427]

Actually, it was tested in the newest issue. I just finished reading it. Gave it a good write-up. I subscribe so I don't know if it's on the news stand yet.

uh uh uh no you dont! like i said you are just a kid, or you have been in a coma for a while, today is 4/22/05 not 2006 but yes 2005 so no we wont be sorry, because the reason you are doning this is to make us fight, and yes your plan is working, because its diving me nuts and the TRAXXAS mods havnt even gave you a warning point yet, when i have reported you 13 times.

people who are confused dont worry you guys know what servos it has and same with the GTR revo shocks its rolling on.

Please mods, do something about this person, he is giving wrong info and making a flame war by it.

[StinkyE-Maxx]

you are right. June 2005

[k-vette]

Let me set everything straight. I have the June 2005 RC car action magazine right in front of me. StinkyE-Maxx, you have the right magazine, but not the right review, I don't know what you're looking at. Here's what they say. (out of ten points)

Instructions.............10
Electronics...............7-----3 channel receiver
parts fit and finish...9
turn-in.....................9
corner speed...........9
On-power steering..9
Braking....................9
Bump handling.........9
Jumping....................9

[StinkyE-Maxx]

Jato is very excellent!!!

[Unbreakable207]

THANK YOU K-VETTE!!!
Someone who knows how to speak english!

If it got almost all 9... wow thats great! This thing is going to rock, cant wait to order one.

Stinky E-Maxx, your posts you gave everyone the impression that the jato got a bad rating. Your english is terrible, and please stop instigating arguments.

[rustlerbum]

thanks for the info k-vette,

but whats with the third channel?

[k-vette]

I'm not sure why there's a third channel, it doesn't really need it. My guess is that they'll start including the 3 channel receiver because of it's size. The two channel ones that come in rustlers and such take up more space. The overall review looks good.

I just found the other review you were looking at StinkyE-Maxx. Right under the one for the mini inferno it says "Friction shocks give a bumpy, harsh ride. Servo cannot be used with a standard receiver." That ends any confusion, and like you said, the Jato will be excellent!

[RusRacer05]

k-vette i you! thanks for that info, i have not been able to pick mine up yet, been 3 times and they are all still Mays, so ill try tommrow, and get the june. And for the stinky poster he wont be here for much longer Mis' will have a look at his last 60 posts and realize he is posting complete garbage, so everyone just ignore him for now. if he is sooo smart he could spell, and speak english, and read the Right reveiw thanks for the info, cant wait to order mine before Unbreakable207

[nitrohalic3]

id like to slap a fantom in the jato and gear it very high.

[Unbreakable207]

AHA! I think I bought it before you rus racer.... lol.


I got the issue too! Right before I bought the jato i read the whole review. This thing is sick! Action really liked the car and said it performed as well as the competitors. Get the issue, its a great one.

Ok, I am just wondering how you can have Mays edition when it's still april, and getting Junes edition soon?

Don't freak on me but I was just curious.

PS. LHS still has January or Febuary Edition in there. lol

[CrisisAngel]

yea...for some reason...RCCA sends out the magazine thats like 2 months earlier...rofl...

Wait...you guys said the two channel receiver was bigger than the 3 channel, arent they the same size, and the 3 channel should be bigger if anything....

But yes...why is everyone going crazy over the top speed, its driving me crazy...i agree with Unbreakable207...top speed isnt everthing...in the same issue as the Jato test drive, they have a shoot out between to nirto on road sedans, one was 1mph faster, but took twice as long to get there...so top speed is only a factor...they said the other one, though it was 1mph slower would waste it in a drag race...

even though that was a bit off topic it was to prove a point, top speed is if it takes you forever to reach it...

think about it, on a track, you hit your top speed once maybe twice a lap, you accelerate on just about every part of track

[nitrohalic3]

why do people get all jumpy over someones opinion? i am a top speed guy and i could just as easily get mad at anyone else for saying speed doesnt matter. people can think what they want!we dont live in a communist country. and im sure the jato acclerates great since it does have a 2.5.

[Unbreakable207]

going 55 without 4WD is scary.

[72'dolphins]

people who are confused dont worry you guys know what servos it has and same with the GTR revo shocks its rolling on.

It does not have REVO shocks, it has composit body GTR shocks.

As for the servos not being compatible, abey all you guys shouldn't tear him apart so quickly. The Traxxas servos have a notch on the edge, and will not plug into a lot of Rx's. When I got my JR I had to shave a little off the side, so stock it won't work.

darn.

50.1
can you drive that fas on a small track or off road track? why would you want to run that fast? hit a curb or a pole or something end of lato or any r/c at that speed.

i race on a small oval time i hit 2nd gear in my nitro late modelcar i am getting on the break.

[pitrunner29]

Yeah but your JR isn't stock now is it. But why start anything over that? It boils down to, Don't try to start something and you wont.JMO
