All I have to say is good god how did they not blow apart!

Ahh the good 'ol Traxxas Jato! Things is a blast. I ran stock tires for a while then ran Moabs. My Moabs would balloon but good heavens...not near to that extreme lol! Wonder if he had bead locks as I can't imagine glue holding up to that. Super crazy!

@RickDizzle I still have a 3.3 jato and its a rocket..i was able to reach 69mph with it on the stock anaconda tires...moabs? Ive never heard of them are they a road or dirt tire? I've used jaco foam tires and a tire dressing with good results... i am disappointed with missing losi's version the speedNt

They were off road tires by Proline. I did a full build after one of the Traxxas Pit Pass builds Steve Slayden did. I found the old thread on another forum I had from over 10 years ago lol. I snagged some screen shots as I no longer have the original pics. Please forgive the stupid photobucket water marks..lame...



It was a fully built desert racer. Thing was like a rocket on dirt. Here is a video of the build that my build was modeled one for one after by Traxxas.

That guy is lucky the tire didnt blow in his face.

First thing I thought of was 'hope he's wearing safety glasses !!

He wasn't so totally agree - was lucky this time around!
