Who said the jatos dont break? I agree that any truck can break at any given time. I race mine hard at the track and hit a fence post. The only thing that happened was a bent steering link. I replaced all the parts that are prone to breaking and I stay as far away from trees as I can. If I would have had stock a arms they would have snapped easily. Around where I live there are no curbs so no worry there. I mainly use mine on the track and in the fields. By no means is the jato indistructable but you can make some upgrades to make it that much more durable. Its a great truck but dont expect that you are not going to break.
