what??????? I think you got that backwards. Jato 389.99 new plus "heavily modded"($200-$400) , Firestorm249.99 new. so a heavilly modded jato equals $600-$800 while a firestorm is 249.99. how is that equal? also the firestorm is not expensive all I have had to replace on mine is the front bulkhead ($8.00), front suspension arm($8.00) and a spur gear ($4.00). that doesn't sound to expensive to me. and the only reason I have had to replace those parts are because no car is going withstand a 45-50mph crash into a solid object (aka. jeep wheel). and replacement spur gears are the result of an upgraded motor and a too tigh slipper clutch.
You might want to look at some numbers before you go off saying stuff like that. I'm not nocking the jato for a minute I came very close to purchasing one a few months ago but I descided against it. I would still like to have one some time.
