Jato can hold its own bashing and isn't that bad handling with new tires. Its like one person says the jato is overpowered and all of a sudden it can't handle the offroad. Im not saying that the jato is the best handling offroad car but it can handle. Also I think part of the fun of an offroad car is using throttle control and keeping your car stable through turns. SUre if you want aomething that is on rails that isn't the jato but I personally don't see this as much fun (racing is a different story on that). Bashing is good with the jato too. Again it is no MT but I take mine off a large jump with about 6 feet of air and hardly brake a thing. I have stripped a spur a broken one tower thats it, and this is after multiple cartwheel landing on the lid, flips ect. And with larger tires the Jato will flip also. So all I'm saying is that the Jato is fast and it can handle a lot better then people give it credit for. A lot of the problem is that people by jato's, put big motors and onroad tires on them and never put them in the dirt.
