E-Jato brushless

[3USRNAM3]

I'm thinking of putting a 5900kv in my e jato. Do you think it would have enough torque/power or just speed with that setup?

[Mr2650birdy]

Does the tranny feel like there is a tough spot with like resistance when you turn the spur gear after doing the single speed?

[finbilly]

@Mr2650birdy: No, everything rolled very smoothly. You should check your transmission if you're experiencing any resistance. Also check transmission and wheel bearings.

[Mr2650birdy]

@finbilly: Thanks yeah I found a rough piece of plastic on the tranny wall that was catching up. I put a MMM 2650 in my Jato :D Lol now its fun.

[nts213]

Did the 2 speed trans make it faster?

[kardinaalpwnd]

I have the same motor laying around here. I'm afraid it would die in my Erevo what would you think?

[kalishaROX]

yours make the same sound as mine

[02bash]

how can i convert the jato into single gear tranmission and also to have reverse.

[K3K37]

check out E jato backflip, nice vid!!!!

[100traxxas]

how much did it cost to convert to electric?

[vampioros]

This one of the best e jato vids on you tube. I should put mine up. I got the mamba max with a 4800 medusa v2, 6000 mah smc 11.1. I totally did away with the top plate cuz I think it looks dumb all butchered up. Instead I used the axial ax10 servo mounts. Seems a whole lot more durable. I'll post a Vid of it.

[AKA0987]

wow! how long of a run do you get with a 8000 mah battery?

[finbilly]

It depends ofcourse from your setup and driving style, but 45 minutes easily.

tell to

[rubinmeneps]

i did a nitro to electric conversion with an evader st and it sucked cause it weighed to much. only went 20mph

[xllxAndrewxllx]

wouldn't it have been eaiser to buy a rustler??

[finbilly]

Ofcourse, but I think you're missing the whole point of doing an nitro -> electric conversion.

[xllxAndrewxllx]

i have actully always wanted to do a nitro electric convertion

[nvtuning]

wow long is the lehner motor

[finbilly]

The Basic series Lehner motors are 38mm long.

[Tigerbarb202]

@finbilly can you bash with this motor?

[VXLBeast]

That thing is sweet! How much better than a rustler do you think it handles?

[finbilly]

Quite a lot actually - the front/rear weight distribution on Jato is much better. It's not "rear heavy" like Rustler so it does not wheelie so much and it corners better.

[VXLBeast]

Thats what I was thinking. That I why I made my rustler mid engined. It handles MUCH better now, still probably not quite as good as the jato. Anyways, sweet project man.

[bionicrustler]

Lipo? Looks like it handles better than my VXL Rustler. Kinda drifts like my speed-t is the rear diff locked?

[finbilly]

Yes, 8000mAh 11.1V

Jato does handle better that Rustler and diff was not locked.

I tested a gyro in this video, it helped a lot with the drifts. See link at the video description.

[kevin1032v]

jato 3.3 doesnt have revrse is that true

[finbilly]

Yes, that's true.

[kevin1032v]

thanks

[traxxasrockhead]

that stinks, y did u get rid of it?

[finbilly]

Well, Jato isn't very good off-roader and I'm more into off-road driving, so it became obvious that I needed something else...

[associatedwithlosi]

OMFG! The Jato is just a small rustler with nitro and a few hop ups.

[1bandito8]

The Jato is bigger than the Rustler and it has better parts than it.

[associatedwithlosi]

Really? I always thought that the rustler was just a bigger heaveier jato. Thanks.

[TractorKid7]

sweet vid that thing hauls ass it slides around the corners damn nice for 2wd! *****

[95666]

hell yeah that thing is fast, awesome vid!5/5

[kevincaparot1]

[dell9494]

Lapinlahti, ei jumaliste. :D :D

[finbilly]

Joo, sitä on tullut näitä maailman metropoleja kierreltyä...

[jatotraxxas]

is it faster than the rustler vxl?

[finbilly]

You can't really compare electric cars like that because speed is determined mainly from the size of the battery you throw in to the car.

[rcdrifterman]

finally some one made an e-jato, bin waiting for some one to do it

[finbilly]

This is not the first one, I've seen few made before.

[Porsche917LH]

How much better you think this handles over my rustler?

[finbilly]

From my experience Jato handles slightly better on asphalt than Rustler. Can't comment off-road handling since I haven't gotten off-road with Jato. :)

[krosenqu]

What tires are on that jato? Anacondas?

[finbilly]

Anacondas at the rear and Victory's at the front (just experimenting).

[SuicideNeil]

Damn thats fast....

[finbilly]

It's pretty decent :)

Unfortunately the logger's memory was filled when I was just doing first practice runs and getting familiar with the car. I didn't have the chance to clear the memory for the second 8000mAh pack, from which this clip was shot.
