RE: Looking for a new RC car on a budget.
The buggies are definately screamers with a race engine 
I just dont think a stock engine will pull that fast due to the lack of RPM's, however it wont be slow by any means and the buggies can be driven much more agressively than you can even think about driving a jato just because they handle so much better and put the power to the ground a lot nicer.

I watched a video on the Slayer and noticed it likes to roll over very easy. I went ahead and bit the bullet and ordered the Jato just now. I also ordered the RPM arms front and back Shock towers front and back top chassis plate and squat blocks. What fuel do you guys recommend for the Traxxas motors. I will get it at the hobby shop.

Traxxas fuel is not very good IMO. Most people dont like it, and I didnt really like it when i tried it either. It will work, but if you have access to odonell or something like that, I would use it instead. I swich between byron and o'donnell depending on where i get my fuel and they both work well for me.

I like odonnel fuel I use it in my glow planes. So is it not a big deal if you don't use the Traxxas fuel?

To be blunt the traxxas fuel IMO has way too much oil. And I found the engines were a tad hard to tune, and would bog down at random (due to oil buildup in the pipe...). Also my bodies I had to spend 5 minutes after each run cleaning the oil that was dripping off of them.
I tried O'donnell after and the problem went away, and barely any oil comes out of the pipe after the run, and my bodies barely get oil on them now.
