Personally i doubt its actually accurate.. however its doesnt need to be, if all you want to do is see if your setup changes top end.

Just hope the weather jolly's up for tomorrows meeting.

My Jato is all back together and just requires some fine tuning, of the mixture and slipper clutch.

Cant wait to get back out on track

As low as it would go tail dragging on the floor under full throttle, handled like a dream almost removed the risk of rolling in turns

Wilf has got a schumacher. Not sure which model though.

Most of the guys here are running Traxxas or HPI with a few others thrown in like CEN and FG.

Well the Jato is broken.. again

The racing was getting a little bit naughty and today ive bent my blue ally rear shock tower and poped a rear shock.

A few scags on my body but nothing major.

She will be fixed, back running again in no time

Oh yes indeed the lad certainly has potential

When not racing he makes a great marshall & can run faster than Big Mick !!

wasn't up to spending a long time away from the house yesterday so just had a play with the jato out in the street. was out there for a while then shut the jato down and went in for 5 mins. went to carry on messing about with it and it would only run for a couple of seconds then cut out. i've not had chance to run it again since, but any ideas if something major is up or had it just got too hot? it was starting on the button, just would cut out as soon as i went to give it some throttle.
