As far as there being no negative threads about the Jato you must have been in lala land for a little while as there have been nagative threads about them. Infact there is one specific thread that I can think of that some where saying that the 3.3 jato would stay with the Team Losi's and AE's on a track, and we went on and on about it and some of the things you have to do to get it race ready and how the 3.3 tires ballon and then rip to shreads. But the point is there have been some negative threads about it.
PLEASE dont start that racing crap again
! He is talking about parking lot/street bashing with his buddies 4 Tec NOT competitive racing .
I have a HPI RS4 RTR and its fun to take it out and do speed runs up and down the sreet and drifting is fun too , for a while . But they get stuck easy , and if you dont have a relatively smooth surface to run on they can bouce and tumble all over the place .
And I said all the REVEIWS were positive about the JATO , not some of the biased opinions you see on this forum .
IF he wanted to take it outta the box and go to his local track to race then I wouldnt be recomending the JATO 3.3 because I myself think the RC10GT2 and the Losi XXXT are better racers , but for bashin on/off road the JATO 3.3 is a rush too drive . If he didnt ALREADY have a Muggy I would say get a LST2 or a REVO 3.3 , those 2 trucks are the BEST ALL AROUND nitros on the market right now . IMO
