Hi XTMDude

You will find all sorts of opinions here on what is best to buy. Every ST has thier good and bad points. My main experience is with the Jato. Brilliant fun

I have had a jato for some time time and find it a good basher. Like most RTR be prepared to upgrade the weak parts. In particular RPM A arms are a must as the stock ones break easily. The other brittle part of the Jato is the bulkhead. I've gone through 2 already but having said that I had 2 high speed crashes. Loads of bits for the jato and are easy to find. All in all I love the jato and for bashing and on a budget it works well.
