RE: jato vs firestorm
If you want to win a drag race get a 4tec 3.3, but if you want to win in the dirt get the GT2, XXX-NT, or HPI Firestorm... Top speed does not win at the local tracks... You need a huge track to get a Jato to its top speed, and Traxxas put street tires on the Jato, kinda gives you a good Idea where they ment the Jato3.3 to run..... Jatos are cool if all you want to do is make speed runs, but if your thinking of racing in the dirt look elswhere.... My T-Maxx (I own several Traxxas trucks) with an OS.18CVR will out run my friends Jato3.3 from a stand still to about 110' to 120' drag race, and my freind has alot more experience than I do at setting up an engine... But give his Jato about 200' or more and 65mph it will hit!!! I'm thinking of getting into Nitro ST Racing, and will most likely get the GT2 or Firestorm.... The Jatos are cool but I want a chance at winning at the local tracks.....
