Status: offline 		So the thread is a little pre-mature... but at least I am the first to do it... if you subtract the "somewhat official jato thread"(according to the search: official jato). Anywho, does anyone else anticipate a different version of the JATO coming about? perhaps ROAR legal? Good topic starter.

Status: offline 		That'd be "dumb" of them not to... magazine reviews and other sources are "raving" for a race ready Jato. Does anyone recall seeing that Jato that had 2.2 wheels and a pullstart?

I believe that was Slaydens Jato... It had all the traxxas option parts on it.

Status: offline 		Yeah, he did mention that traxxas MAY have a race ready version, not in rcca though. They talked about it at least, then they tried to get us on the cliffhanger "omg, a Electric Jato!!!". If there is one thing I have learned... a Novak equipped Traxxas is a lemon! At least our emaxx was that way. Dropped in the Novak BL system, that was garbage too.

Status: offline 		I'll have to see it to believe it... I might consider buying one if there was a kit or race version though... as long as it doesn't have the trx 2.5...
I have good experience with traxxas electric... My e-rusty is they most durable truck I have ever seen... When I jump it off a cliff, I won't be suprised if I don't break anything. Other than maybe a shock cap...

Status: offline 		Yeah i am not much of a fan of the 2.5 either. 2 of them I made into necklaces. The plastic carb is a huge downer. I guess one of the "cool" new things is that composite piston... i saw it a while ago on maxxtraxxusa forums.
