    Hey everybody,

    Checking to see if anybody would be interested in my Traxxas JATO 3.3 R/C car.
    I bought this from a friend in 2008 and had a lot of fun with it over the years, but it's been in storage for five years and I just need to pass it along for someone else to enjoy. This is a very fast car and it could pull the front end off the ground with no problem, sometimes in second gear. :eek:

    I always ran the engine on the rich side instead of lean (as recommended by Traxxas) and monitored the temperature carefully using a laser temp sensor. I never abused it and never let anybody without experience operate it.

    The engine was always coated with after-run oil once cooled down, and the flywheel turns easily with good compression. I don't have any fuel, but it ran great last time I had it out.
    It comes with all kinds of extras, including spare wheels/tires (varying tread depth), glow plug igniter, spare suspension and chassis parts, fluids, etc.
    It has an electric starter but it used to give me trouble - I think the gears would occasionally bind. The batteries could all stand to be replaced due to age. I remember rebuilding the transmission and/or rear differential at one point, and I also remember replacing the clutch and disc brake as well.
    The frame was replaced by Toyota. :rofl:

    Was thinking $175 for the lot but open to ideas. Would prefer a local sale (Pittsburgh, PA), but would consider shipping it. It might be expensive to ship because I will pack it well into a big ol' box to protect it.
