Thread: I guess I have to much power

  1. #1

    Default I guess I have to much power

    This happened right after my Wisconsin Bash, I took the jato to my girlfriends house and I was showing off to her family on the street. I would drive WOT, slam on the brakes do a 180 and then pin the throttle. I was roasting the tires and the jato would just take off like a bullet (it was really cool and her family seemed impressed with my driving skills). So I got the thing going pretty fast, I slammed on the brakes got it turned around went WOT and then the engine revved way up but the truck didn't go anywheres. Oops I must of striped a spur.... Nope I go to shut her down and i see the spur gear is still spinning...****

    Well I took it apart tonight and this is what I find. Do you think by any chance Traxxas will replace this for me

    I don't know what you are talking about, I would never abuse it by reckless driving Never jk

    I'm surprised it lasted this long. I just looked on tower and looks like I'm going to have to drop $10 to get this thing fixed. And then I'll be back this thing in a non reckless way...............

    I'm getting so close to that thing being done. I'm just waiting for the esc which is in the mail and then I have all the parts I need, just a matter of putting it together.

    Just my $0.02cnts but I would get 2 of them and put the spare in your go box, its only $10 and you wouldn't have to make a run to the LHS.
    Watch out for that treeeeee/CRUNCH!!!!!

    I probably should but I didn't think of that when I picked it up. But I don't think I have too much to worry about that transmission lasted me for 4 years.

    Nice work. I had a chance to drive a jato. those things are crazy.

    I guess something has to give if you drive it like that. But a $10.00 part to fix it up again is pretty cheap.

    I didn't even know that was possible, I'd buy an upgraded aluminum, or at least RPM one, it'll cost more, but never break again..hopefully
