needed something to entertain myself as i'm getting older and thought that a nice little nitro RC would do it... and it did
got it about a month ago and have already had to replace broken parts
Traxxas Jato 3.3
here it is with the factory wheels

here it is with a set of aftermarket Proline Trenchers... also need to get a set of them for the front to add weight so the front tires stay on the ground more

the most fun i have had in years

To add extra weight to the front use big lead sinkers
Love my Revo 3.3

after several hours of work completely taking my Jato apart and then putting it back together... my full set of stainless steel screws are done
DSCF3075.JPG
if you value your RC and want to keep it in better condition, i would recommend the stainless screws upgrade. as i'm sure you can see from the picture, there are a pile of extra screws in the kit i got
for anyone that don't know about the kits, here's a link for mine
http://www.rcplanet.com/Stainless_Steel ... tra018.htm
as well as i would recommend the site i got them from which is
http://www.rcplanet.com/
one thing i did notice when having it apart was that my axles were starting to twist... means i will probably have to get some new ones soon
