Whatever you like man,you know that jato is not all that great,I have not had any major problems with my Menace I think that it is a great truck add the alluminum upgrades and it gets even beter and looks so cool,it feels great to win in style when crazies run up with 3.3 Mt and St lol!!!!!!!

the way i see it, there is no point for this thread because people that own Jatos will say that it will outrun the menace and talk sh1t about the menace.. and viseversa for menace owners. thread should be deleted and another one should be made only if someone has vids of the 2 trucks racing against each other of any kind.

KillerJato

I'm not saying the Jato is all that great, it has its own problem just like every rc made. But it is faster then the menace.

You know i would be willing to buy a Menace and have anyone one of u drive to here to race it agianst my Jato, any takers. U can tune it urself so you know it is tuned for performance. We can tape it and put it on RCU right after we have a clear winner. C'mon any takers any, i will even feed u.

KillerJato

Any takers yet, i've been looking for one where can i look to find a decent price. There is one on ebay for $475, and one with the .28 in it for cheap so far.

I seen the one on ebay with the .28 in it, would love to get it but need to sell up on my other rc's that im not using first.[&o]
Oh and i know a guy around here with a 3.3 Jato, says he has been beating cars with it. When I get a menace I could drag race him, there is always a gang of people drag racing on the vacant lot on every sunday if weather isnt bad.

This is in the March 2007 issue of RC CAR MAGAGAZINE proof of the Jato whipping the Menace.

Top speed, Jato 65 Menace 58

0-1sec, Jato went 12.58 ft Menace went 7.12 ft

0-100FT, Jato 2.81 sec Menace 3.14 sec

0-200FT, Jato 4.09 sec Menace 4.55 sec

0-300FT, Jato 5.22 sec Menace 5.80 sec

20-40mph, Jato 1.32 sec Menace 1.34 sec

30-50mph, Jato 1.42 sec Menace 1.95 sec

0-top speed, Jato 7.49 sec to 65mph Menace 6.46 secs to 56mph

0-60 mph, Jato 4.5 sec 4tec 3.78 sec Porshe Twin Turbo 3.9 sec. Menace isn't on this list cause it can't do 60mph.

KillerJato

There was several others they tested but only these two pertain to the thread.

killerjato, i dont know who tuned the engine or what kind of setup they had on the menace tested, but its obvious to me that they didnt have a clue what they were doin. Menace has the exact same transmission setup as the fusions so them saying it wont do even 60mph is bullsh1t. Sounds to me that they are trying to hype up the jato as being the faster truck, and i highly doubt its faster and if so its not by no more than a few mph.

KillerJato

They say stock it bogs down some but hey they are the pro not us.


AND THE JATO LEAVES THE MENACE IN CLOUD OF NITRO SMOKE

KillerJato

I doubt that, but your baised opinion will make you think that about a professional test. They aslo tested the 4tec, xray t007 brushless,
and the losi xxx cr brushless. The Menace got beat in alot of catergories by different vehicles, this machine is just not good stock out of the box.

KillerJato

HHHHHHHMMMMMMMMM, guess i shut everybody up with there biased opinions and bs, facts never lie. Kdog3.3 looks like we have a winner and the checkered flag goes to the JATO first.

joey1995

i'd say jato 3.3 cuz if you do somthings to it it can go like 70mph

ProRCRacer88

i got tired of posting since your mind is set on the jato being the faster truck and that you believe the mess you seen in the rc book. Like i said in another post, until I see some vids of the trucks equally matched and stock out the box, the statistics anyone writes, doesnt matter.

KillerJato

BIASED BIASED. My mind isn't set on anything but the facts, facts don't lie here. I'll give you some video then, i'll put my jato back to stock and race it agianst that modified Menace on ebay that i plan on getting. 50 bucks says that a modified Menace won't take it.
