firestorm is a total piece of crap!!!!!!!
How many have you owned? Or are you just talking out the other end?

He is definately talking out of his butt, I personally own both. The Jato is faster, only if you can adjust the 2 speed tranny right, which is not easy to do. When I first bought it, I couldn't find any place that was big enough to get it to shift into 2nd. However....The Firestorm is much faster off the line, more durable as I have spent significantly more money on parts for my Jato than I have on my Firestorm. The only thing I have broken on my Firestorm is the front A-arm and since parts aren't readily available quite yet, I just CA'ed it and it will work fine until new parts make their way to my LHS. If I were to do it all over again, I would not have bought the Jato 3.3 and just stuck with the Firestorm. On dirt the Firestorm will blow away a Jato.
