IMO ... the jato handles well.... it is just over powered. With my 2.5 or 3.3 motor in it the truck is just good for bashing. With my RB V.12 in it I can get it more set for track traction... The truck is very adjustable. It is just hard to find that sweet spot for every track.

I have not had the issues with the rear shock towers like others have. IMO (or what I gather from reading what many people here and on traxxas say) many people are running very hard rear shocks and expecting the truck to do more than any ST can... I have broken one top plate. But that was learning how to do back flips... hehe... Since I have added the TRX upgrade chassis I have not broken any.
