    Easy to hear gear shift?

    Is it easy to hear when the Jato shifts from first to second gear? I can't hear any noticeable change in the motor pitch as I accelerate.

    Actually i think that it is rather difficult to hear the Jato shift. When i am doing a WOT run i can usually never hear it unless it is right next to me. However if you are going at half throttle or, so yes it is rather easy to hear.

    Should be prety easy to hear considdering a new load is being placed on the engine so suddenly when that hammer thingie comes out and hits the pin engaging the second gear.
    R/C is expensive...
