procedures. Turn to page 7 to begin.
We know you're excited about getting your new Jato on the road,
but it's very important that you take some time to read through the
Owners Manual. This manual contains all the necessary set-up,
break-in, tuning, and operating procedures that allow you to unlock
the incredible performance and adjustment potential that Traxxas
engineers designed into Jato. Even if you are an experienced R/C
enthusiast, it's important to read and follow the procedures in this
manual. Jato contains new technologies in the engine,
suspension, and transmission operation that you may not be
familiar with. Pay particular attention to the fuel and break-in
requirements for the engine.
The advanced design of the TRX 3.3
Racing Engine has a special break-in procedure that has been
developed and proven to produce the best-performing engine
possible. Using traditional or old-fashioned procedures could
reduce engine performance and longevity.
