Jato 3.3 into E-Jato
 
3 Attachment(s)
Just got mine ready, so here's some info;
Fresh out of the box Jato 3.3 stripped from all the smelly nitro stuff and turned into brushless beauty... :whistle:

Bits and pieces:
Lehner Basic 5300 motor, Mamba Max ESC, 3S lipos, single speed conversion, 48p gears, RPM arms, CVD's & Futaba 2.4Ghz radios.

Testruns can be viewed at YouTube. Choose high quality video!

Pics attached. Insides are a bit messy because of the Eagle Tree stuff... :P

Sweet, would't mind watching a Jato BL go up against a Jato 3.3

BrianG 04.28.2008 03:37 PM

The trouble is getting a BL Jato to hook-up...

Nice conversion. Looks good!!

What motor mount are you using? It looks like an E-Maxx motor plate attached to the Jato transmission behind the slipper... Do you like the Jato more than your Rustler (the one in video on you tube) or do they drive completely different?

BrianG: Mine seems to hook up pretty good - atleast wheeliebar comes handy. :)

jnev: Thanks! Motor mount is selfmade from two pieces of 2mm thick aluminiun plate. Got the best fit when made it myself and being 4mm thick it doesn't flex.
Jato is more driveable than Rustler on tarmac, I haven't tried this beauty on dirt yet so can't tell how it handles there.
Rustler I have no more, but might get the Slash for off-road use.

Let is know how you like the motor, was looking at getting one

Nice job Janezki! Love the side slides and drifting in video. Not many videos show the E-jato with any b4lls, good video, great build. What teeth count are you running?

Janezki 04.29.2008 11:31 AM

RC_KAOS: I like it a lot. At first I was a bit worried about it's ability to move Jato because of it's small size, but seems like it has somewhat enough power to do the job... :)

bruce750i: Thank you! I'm running 48 pitch gears with 27 pinion & 86 spur.
I have a secret weapon for good handling... I'll reveal it to you if you promise not to tell anybody... I'm using a gyro in there. :whistle:

bruce750i 04.29.2008 12:01 PM

Please details about the gyro?

And I was actually impressed at your driving skills. The disappointment is akin to when I found out there was no Santa.

Janezki 04.29.2008 12:22 PM

The gyro is Rcmart NT-300.
GWS PG-03 should be fine for car use aswell.

Oww.. Actually Santa lives here in Finland, so close enough. :)

bruce750i 04.29.2008 12:41 PM

I was wondering how are you applying the gyro? help?

Janezki 04.29.2008 12:50 PM

Just plug it into ch1 on your receiver and plug your steering servo into the gyro.
Place the gyro heading towards the front of your car and that's about it.

Arct1k 04.29.2008 02:20 PM

Google HPI Drift Assist for details...

bruce750i 04.29.2008 02:58 PM

Okay cool, I'll check it out.
