list of upgrade parts

[mbarton2010]

can somebody make me a list of all the parts i should upgrade right off the bat? i have the jato but it is still in the box at my house. Thanks!


Oh and what tires/wheels should i get that will do good on and off road? might even get two sets. one for racing and one for bashing

the upgrades that is must now is the RPM front bumper , it will save your upfront from impacts.
as long as your jato is new I guess no need to remove stock new parts. unless you're going to sell them .

later you can put on rpm a arms, and buy a sets of geolanders tires, or dirthawgs.

what about stronger servos?

If I were you I would wait until you break something, and that may be awhile. No sense in spending money when you don't have too.

and piggyback shocks

Not really needed and if they are made by Integy, I would return them before you open them. Almost everyone has had problems with them.

you can go for the metal gear high torque Hitec HS 645MG servo. Very powerful with relative acceptable price.

I just ordered RPM all around and the TQi dock for iphone. and a pull start

Street tyres of you are planning on running fast as a gt47 supra.

RPM arms and bumper is a must have

Buku Clutch

Tuned Pipe (various options)

TRX HD slipper clutch

TRX alloy & rubber wheelie bar wheels

Top plate and or bottom brace

Thats about it. This RC is pretty rugged out the box. At this point take it in the direction you want to take it. Different strokes for different folks. Check into my ground up build thread or other Jato's in the picture thread for ideas of what people are doing.

For offroad tires get a set of badlands. I was amazed at how well they grip.

Also consider getting a reinforcement plate for your top plate. I just replaced mine and they are prone to snapping right by the front screws.

Here are my badlands on my jato.

Not to thread jack, but go into a little detail on suggestions...

Do they do well on grass? I got a football field I can do some 100 yard sprints with if they do well on grass.

How do they compare to Dirt Hawgs in different conditions?

Can't wait to go out and test out your new Jato?!

[TheCyclist]

I can't wait for my Badlands to come in!

Also, Mbarton here are some

Oil Filter upgrade
RPM A-arms
Fuel Filter (Dubro)
GTR shocks

Lol no worries. I'm on my phone and was on lunch break so its hard to get everything you need to say within a short period of time.

However, they do great on the grass. I've driven it in grass yesterday and it pops wheelies like nothing. I also have my battery mounted in the center compartment so there isn't as much weight back there. Took it out on the dirt and it handles like a dream compared to the anaconda tires. As far as the dirt hawgs go I haven't personally ran them but I've heard people prefer the badlands over them. Which is the reason I tried the badlands myself. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I'll have a video up shortly of the jato.

Badlands tires grips perfect from it's patteren looks. it's almost the same as the racing buggy tires design.
