Hi,

I have just purchased a traxxas jato truck 2.5 it looks really good
anybody have any experience with it.

The main question is i will be taking it out to do jumps e.t.c is the
power the most important thing whilst in flight to stop the nose going
down how does this stop it when the power only controls the wheels im
really interested in this. if you put alot of power on will it
backflip.

Also last question what is the maxium height i should let it jump

Many Thanks,

Jonny

Well, when using a 4wd machine, such as my Sav, accelerate brings the front
up so, backflip, and the brakes drop the front down, so front flip (trickier
than a backflip). As for how high to jump it, well Jatos have fairly weak
arms - so you'll see how high you can go before they break - RPM do
replacements with a lifetime warranty for reasonable money.

You'll get to know how much abuse it can take - my Sav for example doesn't
seem to be able to jump high enough to kill itself...
