    leo2730's jato

    I saw leo2730's jato on the 6th page of the jato gallery, and i was wondering, wat he did to get those rims to fit on it. Its the jato with the black chevy silverado proline body with really big rims. Thanks

    New Era 17mm adapters (<-- click!) are the best 1/8th scale adapters money can buy for the jato...

    I think they are better than the 17mm adapters from Carson.
    By the Carson adapters, you have to modifide them that they fit (cut the screw for the front tyres)
    And n other problem is, that when you drive on Sand, the Sand gets between the screw and adapter during the wheel is spining so the Alu adapters shake down.

    The Hot Racing set is sold out every where right now. I Froogled and Googled and called all the distributors on the Hot Racing site. Hobbies Etc will get 50 units in next week. You can find the part on their website and enter you email address to be notified when they're in. I just did and I'm ready to run some 1/8 buggy/truggy wheels and tires!
    Second place is the first loser.
