I have been in this hobby for over 20 years and yes I have had and have had buddys with Traxxas.I still have a Jato but for the $$I have in it I can't sell it I would almost have to give it away.Your Sad for recomending Junk to the guy.Go buy a Ofna,Hpi,Losi and you will soon see how bad Traxxas really is pooooor Quality simple as that.I take it you only have had Traxxas if you have had better then maybe you would understand but I guess your a Traxxas fan boy.
