Are you guys like talking about lawns with 5 ft of grass or something. My jato performs amazing on and off road. I would never have thought that its suppose to be mainly onroad unless someone told me. The low stance of the jato is probably because traxxas had racing in their mind for this little truck as well as bashing. You can raise the stance of the jato easily, I dont know what you guys are talking about not being able to ride on a lawn with a jato. I like the fact the jato has the low cg deal going for it. Makes it much more race worthy. Plus the jato is lighter than the rusty, just take off the ez start and the other excess plastic and stuff, and the jato is very light weight.
