RE: SPEED
on the track i would agree that a gt2 is way better than a jato but shotty servos? please, i seen no servos more shotty then the ones that come with a team associated rtr, now if your talking the kit then thats different because that relies on what you put in it on mine a gt2 with a 3.3 (yes i actually put the 3.3 in it) i went with the traxxas servos mostly because the price was good and they were high torque.
but dont say that the jatos servos are bad because mine work great in fact better than the ones that came with my firestorm or ones from the rtr gt2(my friend has one and the electronics that came with it completly suck) the controll of the gt2 especially for the track is better than any other stadium truck i have seen.
as for losi i will not even put them in the same catagory i have the xxxt electric and it has broken no less than 12 times in like maybe 15 runs, the ball joints suck, the connecting rods suck, even the transmission sucks, untill i got the xxxt i had never seen a ball-bearing dif acually twist apart from the ball-bearings grinding away the plastic.
it was by far the worst made heap of junk i ever wasted money on, i would actually put the jato above it on the track just because you could smash into the losi once and win by default.
and anyway my comment about people comparing thier cars to the jato was in reference to people who say thier cars are fast by declaring they can beat a jato in top speed.
and since so many people always use the jato as a statement of how fast thier cars can go it means the jato is the staple for high speed cars.
im not sure why anyone would suggest though a jato for off-road because it was designed as an on-road high-speed truck and was never made for track racing.
im not sure about the jealous factor but every other statement that sloppyg made was correct it is not an off-road truck but it does have the ability to be adjusted.
and as far as rtr's go its one of if not the best one out there it has good electronics a good engine and well made parts, dont forget that ae was bought out by thunder-tiger and all of the parts for them are now made in china and poorly at that. i have the factory team addition gt2 and every single hex screw had to be replaced because of poor manufacturing they all twisted apart or stripped just trying to build it( i found out later that those screws had been recalled because of it being a bad batch nice of them not to recall the kit but instead make someone send them in with shipping and handling charges to get them replaced in 4-6 weeks so at least my jato worked when i bought it and didnt need to be recalled because of shotty screws.
