12 years and it still looks mint.Btw the beginning was funny 😂🤣😂🤣

Never owned a nitro. maybe one day, I'm still a novice in the rc world. Great video Earl.

Just now watched this video. I have a 2.5r Revo that I put a 3.3 in rite after traxxas brought them out, anyway the 3.3 sat for about 5 years and after a little wd40 to get the carb slide to move it fired rite up just like yours did. Still running strong never replaced the carb just new glow plug and air filter awesome Motors.

New 2023 Jato day 2 steering servo is locking up full right when engine is on. Vintage Revo 2.5 same thing so I went to a single DS servo. I did the Hybrid brake mod it made a huge difference. Yep Traxxas nitros are night and day from the 70s-80s nitro cars. The ez start and reliability is great. Where I live the temps and humidity change by the hour. If you dont understand carbs and needles you are screwed. Nitro is not for the everyday noob unless your weather absolutely never changes.

Nitro!!!! Nothing will beat the smell. The tuning is the part that teaches you patience

Damn earl. Much respect. U hit nail on the head

I like to run my RC early mornings so I stay electric mainly for low noise. If they were quieter - I’d consider a nitro. Awesome as always Earl.

I agree with you , Nitro is easier and cheaper. But I live where you have to travel to drive them because of the noise 🙄 But I do believe if laws would change Nitro would take over . Can't wait to see them run ! I was surprised how good the jato started up and ran , Nitro is definitely something to consider over electric

Man another sweet rc boss! When you take care of things as well as you do, they last and work like they should! 😎👍💯

Fantastic truck,started great😀😀😀👍👍

Amazing how well it works for being 12. Just goes to show a little maintenence and care goes a long way.

Another great show Earl!

I just got me a jato love it! Have many tmaxx also love traxxas. I have always had good luck.

Earl great vid that started right up no problems at all as far as the breaks as long as they are working i wouldnt play with them but if they didn't work or start failing then do the hybrid mode to brakes nice vid he did of showing how to fix the jato i watch him to good channel great content have agreat day earl 👌👌👍👍

You make a solid argument for Nitro, it’s more convenient for a quick rip. I like electric for the consistent performance, cleaner, and less noise. There room in the the hobby for both. The Nitro fuel must have a long shelf life, unlike todays gasoline. Good video.👍💯

Can't believe it fired right up👍🏻. I would just get a new carb that way your sure. Thanks Earl!

Thats so frickin cool fired right up! 👍💯

I love my jato! So much fun

FIRST!! Lets go! This video is just what I needed!

That thing started right up! Can’t believe you kept the stock servo in there tbh… can’t stand stock Traxxas servos cus they aren’t very fast at all.

I like both electric and nitro but I got to say I like nitro a little better for the noise and the sound of them. I'm a car person so nitro rcs have always been a thought to get. Have a few things for my car to get before I get another rc though👍

Hi earl.another great video 💪

If you flip the arm 180 degrees so it's facing the engine and flip the swivel upside-down,the brakes work a lot better. The arm won't hit the transmission case and give it move movement for better stopping power. 👍

Nice little ripa!! I need one ,

I say, send it! I'm not surprised it started right up. Why? Because you take great care of your stuff. Chuck was a fun show! Good group or people.

In the future might look into some green slime. I have some that team associated makes and its really good with recoating orings especially around the carb if there is a leak, also works well if you just replace an oring and use it to coat it too.

I take directions just fine. So yes I do actually think it'll start after a bit of prime and then prob a few needle adjustments and you'll be off and running.

I’ve always wanted a jato the on road nitros are definitely awesome my dad and I years ago had a RC 10 GT that we threw street tires and it was a ripper now it’s chilling in the garage the pull start is broken so we could order up a new one and get her going

😂🤣😂 Great intro brother! 💯🤜🤛🔥🔥⚡⚡

I started out with nitro … RC10GT with old school pull start and have had the electric start also … started buying electric and loved the plug and play… over all gonna say electric is easier but still like the nitros 👍👍👍

I just bought one of these for 50$ and it's been broke in tank done. and drained and never ran again,,looks good but I heard mine sat for 10 years ..i hope to get it going

The beginning got me crying 🤣🤣🤣

Your jato looks almost new wish mine looked like that. New ones Don't come with a wheelie bar I noticed. Yeah you have to maintenance both nitro and electric rc's especially if your not going to run them for awhile. Got to store charge your lipos or you'll have dead lipo's and you have to put after run oil in a Nitro and burn all the fuel out or you'll definitely will have problems getting them running the next time you want to run them. Both are nice to have.

I think both have there challenges. electric are faster and quieter. people hear the noise and they don't like it. I love the sound of a nitro. and the smell. mmm. Nitro fuel is expensive. in my 2.5 t maxx with a brand new engine I was going through a lot of glow plugs. there not cheap. so I'd say in long run nitro costs more to run. but electric is more neighbor friendly. got my old school Hpi savage almost ready to rip. carb boot and 20% fuel should arrive tomorrow. so nitro weekend coming up. yeah hoo

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Brakes work good enough for you then you don't have to do the mod. Also since you adjusted throttle trim to open the carb more could be why the idle too high and also why the idle didn't go down when you backed out the idle screw. Throttle trim is holding it open not the idle screw. Just a thought

If you love rc either way, then you have the best of both worlds. I enjoy both elec/nitro But if you’re not mechanical inclined and not willing to get your hands dirty or brain storm a little even if you seek help then yes both can be discouraging. Once you learn how then work and you don’t mind working on them then you’re in the right place just always be mindful of the hazards that come with. An accident can ruin any fun. Enjoy the hobby or anything you into. 👍

After watching your nitro videos, I pulled the trigger on a 3.3 Revo. Should be here towards the end of next week. I hope it's not too hot to play, it was 113 here today.

I bought one of these Wen I was 16 nw I'm 32 saved up my wages for weeks for that car

that start up makimg nitro look easy.

Jato is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I'd check all your fuel lines before you order a carb. I have had fuel lines Crack and get brittle on my Jato. I love the 3.3's they are great motors.

I wanted to comment on the tuning. If you have enough fuel coming into the engine on the high speed needle and plenty of blue smoke but it's still not idling down like it should, this usually means that the low speed needle needs to be opened up just a tiny bit. In doing so, will provide more fuel at low speed and the idle will drop. Don't confuse the idle stop screw for your idle adjustment. The idle stop screw is to set the gap between the carburetor venturi and the slide valve that opens and closes when you pull the throttle trigger. The gap should be at 1mm or slightly less.

great video Earl actually I wish I had a Nitro to try it out maybe one day my wife will let me get one she pretty much cut me off for all RC stuff right now💯👍👊

I might have to try the nitro someday. I just know I'll have to go somewhere to run it because I live in the country where neighbors aren't to far away and the noise echos forever lol

GREAT Intro 😂

its going to start earl no problem broi

Man I have a jato sitting on my shelf right now with a new motor never been started and been sitting in buddy's closet for 6 years before I got it. I'm not a nitro guy lol

I have had both Nitro and Electric. I agree Nitro is cheaper. But I like Electric better. Less noise, less smell, no oil to cleanup/wipe off, I can run 8S or 6S if I need less power, and I can work on every part of the RC indoors (I live in Texas). 👍👍

just rebuild the carb why replace what's not broke. on the brake mods your new t maxxes will need the mod I use fuel line in-between the pads so they don't stick to the disc

I don’t have a jato but it’s on my list of one to get all the places I check for them don’t have any but when I find one I’m getting one electric vs nitro they both have there plus’s and minus’s depending on where you run them in surrounding areas as nitros are kind of loud and could be a nuisance for some as electric is quieter so depends there both fun but durability wise I think electric for me just because it seems like I’m working on nitro cars more than my electric cars

Love Ur vids earl, yeah I've got all electric cars, has its easier plug and play, but with gas u end up smelling of it also alot of noise that's my opinion earl, but since watching Ur vids earl im thinking of getting me one cuz they're not that dear so yeah u may have changed my mind thanks earl for Ur content very interesting 💯👌👍

i perfer electric but i lkie nitro also havent owned a nitro since i got rid of my nitro revo way back cool video earl!!

What are you going to go ahead and do next?

I’d rebuild it. The brakes if they work for you rock it till it doesn’t then try the mod

22:04 and they want every garage to have full size cars that run on Lipos instead of gasoline. 🤷‍♂️

My tmaxx has been doing that same thing with the idle My carb has seen better days, the 3.3 in it is about 2 years old. I replaced all fuel lines and still the same issue, I think It’s time to just refresh the carb by buying a new one. What do you guys think?

I think them tires are small and for the bandit,,? I have the bandit that I just leave have a brush motor for around my area,, brushless means buy parts more often but is nice

It sounded like your low speed needle might have been lean. Maybe richen it up some and it will probably lower the idle.

oh i believe nitro is a less of problem i think we just have gate keepers are the problem

and the batter on the electric one are expansive for name brand but off brand u no its crap or good defulty so yea

I hate when guys think it’s cool showing off how easy it is to buy cars and throw money around hahaha when most people watching your videos have to save up for 6months to buy a $400 car,don’t get me wrong I’m sure you worked hard for what you got but throwing the hundreds around was a little much but I do love it bidd

All Right let's get it. Thank's for Sharing Earl 👊💥👍💯✌

🤙🏾

Hahahaha... a few thousand and you're all set. Tomley did a good video about that very subject, "is KT good for the RC hobby" I've had to re-direct so many people to this channel or RCGG for ACTUAL running and wrenching, because KIDS keep asking me how to get an XMAXX. I always cringe, there is no need for smething so crazy as your first rc. I got a Kyosho mad van ve for my buddies kid as his first rc. He LOVES it.

Can you try those Chinese carburetor, I wanna see if those work same as oem traxxas carb.

Jato definitely a legend

What's up buddy !

I like electrics, but love my Nitros!!! NITROS ALL DAY!! Definitely had more failures with electrics then Nitros. Both have pros and cons. As hybrid says you must have a minimum of 2 to 1 ratio of NITROS. Nitrogang!!😜

Jato 3.3 has brakes? 🤣 My issue with the brakes is the distance it takes from high speed to stop. =0) Maybe I'll check out that brake mod. Haven't used my Jato in sometime now. Mostly use my HPI Savaga. I'd would just remove and clean up the carb not much to them really. Clean out the needles and reset to factory and tune away.

Yeah nitro's a pain in the ass I stopped years ago electric all the way more power just better all the way around just like the cars are going to be I hate to say it cuz I was a Motorhead but electric is going to be the way to go with everything

More proof that you cannot Kill a Nitro! I'd say your brakes are great cause your Jato seems to be almost new, after a little while the brake cam block will wear down and so will the disc, then you will notice poorer brakes. All my Jatos have been used, so it makes sense why the brakes suck. Anyway, terrific points on the Right Way to Deal with Electrics! DOne right, electric has more risk and also takes lots of ability and problem solving. Nitro is easy in my opinion, it's the same fuel in all cars, while electric use specific Batteries based on scale often times.

Bash like Kevin Talbert ? Lol, I think it's Talbot ...

No I don’t think it will fire up. !!!!!!👀😁👍🤘

Chinese carbs suck in my experience. I always try to keep the original carb on any machine and get a rebuild kit. I have a bunch of 80s Honda 3 wheelers and I can’t bring myself to buy new carbs. I haven’t had to replace one yet

I own electrics with nickel medal packs, (I don't trust Lipos). However, I want to get back into nitro trucks again, but I think I commented in a video you did that every time i ran the Nitro Stampede/Nitro Rustler, my neighbors would call the police/tell me I couldn't run them in the parking lot across from my house. But they could mow at 8am. Advice anyone?

I will take Nitro's over electrics anyday. Like you more than less said. There way more convenient. And not only that who doesn't love the sounds & smells of a Brappin engine. Nitrogang for life 👊💥👍💯🙏

I tend to believe that people prefer electric over nitro simply because they have absolutely no experience with tuning a nitro engine and that they are messy. Tuning a nitro engine is only half of the enjoyment of owning a nitro rc car. I could say the same thing about electrics but there really isn't much to learn about them. Plug and play. Another thing about nitro is I'm concerned about the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) complaining about the emissions from the nitro engines. If you haven't noticed, there are no more 2 cycle dirt bikes being sold brand new and I strongly believe that the EPA had something to do with it. However, you can still find that 2 stroke weed trimmers, leaf blowers at Home Depot or Lowes for example. I find it odd.

i can get 3 5liter of foul for 149 yea so yea i rather chose nitro

It is true nitro is pain in the butt specially for lazy people only want to do is is just driving the rc don’t like to clean and do the after run on the engine. One of the reason they having issues on tuning.

Electric? I didn't know they made those for men.

to be honest u just learn to tune it right is all

Hey earl I want to bash like hybird 32494😜😜🌮🌮

nitro better

Stop with the stupid emoji’s it’s weird dude
