Status: offline 		Mabey you should look into something like the hpi firestorm or some other hpi model. I hit a tree at full speed with mine and crashed off jumps many times and nothing broke.

Status: offline 		the jat carries a lot more speed than a firestorm, thats why they seem to break more than firestorms...i think they are just as durable if not more......but anyways, its easy to fix, it doesnt take much skill

Status: offline 		yeah, maybe thats because your firestorm didnt go 65 into concrete! Jatos break because of the speed i think, so really
to me there is no comparison..

Status: offline 		I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post under, if not Im sorry... I have a Traxxas Jato 3.3 and crashed it pretty bad today.. I bent the aluminium frame, broke the top chasis, broke the front bulkhead and a RF steering adjuster... Is there any advice anyone can give on finding step by step repairs for the bottom plate or top chasis? I just dont wanna screw this thing up. Anyone around Greenville, SC that can help repair it for me? Please advise.....
