Default RE: need help on first st rtr

I love my gt2 so far I've had it about 3 weeks and have yet to have any of the problems I see posted about other trucks. The JATO IS REALLY quick, but I as a new driver have to much power in my gt2 as is and i still have the restrictor in my carb which I hear makes a decent differance.

When we were shopping i looked at the gt2 and JATO mainly since the guy at my LHS recomended either as a good truck. 3 weeks later I'm so glad I got the gt2. As far as quality I've been very happy and the only complaint so far is that every part I've broken is backordered and I had to hunt them down online, but it seems like there is parts shipping now and my LHS even had a sub chassis for me.

Now I have only run into 2 other RC folk while out bashin one with a JATO and one with some street car that was insane fast, but electric. The guy with the Jato was only slightly more experianced then me but he had alot more driving time, I beat him around my cones on asphalt only because he lost it comming out of every turn either to a wheelie or a spin-out.

It's also worth saying that the truck has taken many mutiple flips, one head on landing into the back of a 6foot hard packed double and a half barrel roll then like a 20ft slide on its top with no body and the only times its had a part break were the 2 head on curb hits both over 20MPH both less then $20 to fix (not counting shipping! grrrrr i hate buying online)

oh yeah we got our kit at the LHS for 299 we also got gas, a temp gun, batteries and a couple glow plugs for backups for a grand totall of 380 something the jato kit i think was 400 dont remeber if that was an RTR though or kit sorry....ramble /off
