Status: offline 		hi, my name is Dean, and i got a jato on the way.....this will be my first serious rc car/truck....my friend has a ofna LS GT PRO buggy (thats best i remember his description) and says the jato wont compete with it, i reserached it alittle and the only ofna buggies i found go around 50 mph while the jato goes 55ish...i didnt know if these two cars were competive with each other up through to the top end....or if he's just going to walk away at first then i play catch up on top end or vise versa....anyway....im from west texas(Odessa), dry and hot (usually) i plan on playing alittle on pavement, but mostly on a home made track i plan on making in the soon to be future.....im giving the conditions of the uses, cause im wondering witch tires to use (front and rear) for my application....

Status: offline 		m0rris - you glue inside the groove where the tire fits on to the rim -

speed_racer - the 1/8th scale buggy has an advantage by beeing AWD. They are very fast off the line. Now that is not to say it can/will beat a jato. But you will have to learn good throttle response and learn the truck. I can say this.... My jato can not touch my TTR S3 off the line, but the Jato is faster on the top end. With my TTR S3 I can just punch it and it will hook up with the AWD. The Jato will just spin out if you just punch it. But with some pratice and finding the right set up for where you drive you will compete nicely with him and win if you can get to top speed.
