Hi Guys,
I'm from Jamaica and new to the forum. I'm coming to the windy city around thanksgiving and was wondering if I would be able to visit a track and/or a flying field to see some action. I'm hoping it won't be too cold for all the tracks and fields to be closed. Looking for both on/road and off-road. Can anybody help?

Warmac, here's our track: http://p220.ezboard.com/fleisurehoursracewayfrm10
It's going to be the best indoor in the midwest, probably the world, when it's done. Come next summer, it'll be the best outdoor also. But this Thanksgiving, you're SOL like the rest of us. Come back around Christmas for the indoor grand opening! After all, X-Mas in Jamaica has got to suck!! Oh, and the Jato just doesn't hook up!!!

maybe with the right tires and setup his jato will hook up? Theres tons more choices besides stock tires if you want traction lol. Kinda like when your truck wasnt hooking up last sunday and you switched tires. Same things just a smaller size truck

Are you saying that the Jato isn't good or as Michowski said, I may just need a tire change? Truck & Buggy ....................Cars MBX-4RR RB Concept WS7 III.........

with the right setup any truck can have traction and race depending on the driver. Savages arent made to race but rocco drives his savage like no other. Never seen a savage as fast as his. Just takes the right setup and a decent driver and it will be fine.

guess he has that savage slammed low to the ground for better cornering or at least as low as the jumps will allow.

The Jato is a fun and FAST truck. If you are not used to running 1/10 scale stadium trucks, it will be a task to get used to. If you have raced 1/10 scale before, it will be and easy switch. As with all RTR trucks/cars/etc., the stock tires aren't the best. The ability of changing the battery location to better distribute weight seems like a bit of a waste though. The center location for the battery will supposedly help keep the front wheels on the ground, but it also limits the amount of traction from the rear wheels. Keep the battery in back, and research the tires. See what works for other drivers on the tracks you run at.

As you can see by the vehicles I own, I'm mostly a 4-wheel drive man. Although I have fixed and setup a couple RC-10's for my friends, I've never really driven one long enough to have the driving down pat. That's one of the reasons why I'm now ready to add the Jato to my collection (apart from having a vehicle from each class
 ). I think the Jato should fit the bill nicely  Truck & Buggy ....................Cars MBX-4RR RB Concept WS7 III.........

Welcome to the boards Warmac!
The Jato DOES hook up! I raced one and it hooked fine. I have also owned a XXX-NT before and they are two totally different beasts. Both have their good/bad points. Foe instance, the Jato has massive turn in speed and the losi will not turn at speed.

So Leisure wont be ready, is there any other track that might have a remote possibility of being open at thanksgiving?
BTW, can the RB t323 engine for the Maxx or Revo fit the Jato? Truck & Buggy ....................Cars MBX-4RR RB Concept WS7 III.........

^2 fast hahaha this coming from the man that put a p5 in a revo! 1/10th scale are really hard to drive but a lot of fun! after upgrading to all graphite my losi is indestructable(besides the blown motor) they are hard to drive on the track but once you get used to it, it gets easier. throttle control out of turns is a must if you hit it to hard you'll just spin the truck! as for turning on power, with a xxx-nt it's impossible, have not driven a jato so i couldn't tell you!

I've never drive a Jato, and I know that that class is a little tricky to handle, but I have a need for speed...it can never be too fast for me
