Well if your looking at the Jato 3.3, that tells me you want big,tough and powerful. For $289, you should check out the Tower Hobbies Tower Terror. Check out the video, that thing is bad ass. The ABC engine has a 2 year warranty, and as you know, if you join the TH club you get double warranties on everything TH branded, that means 4 years on the engine. Check it out, looks like a killer basher.

All RTR's come with cheap, chinsy radios, but they work. You can replace them if you like.
