just a tip.

associated are for racing so yes GT's are great for that ( i race one too) but ANYTHING traxxas will stomp anything else at jumping ( i used to race a rusty) as they are designed for it. comparing my traxxas to my GT i MUCH prefer to jump my rusty ( and it seems to break less landing) as my GT is a hastle to land.but will eat the rusty on a track (actually theres not much in it but the GT is way easier to drive therefor less mistakes)
