We all like and want something different. ME, I bought a Jato and sold it within a few weeks, as the hyper speed straight line parking lot passes got old. BUT, that suits some people and that is great, it was useless to me.

OK.. Whats a good one to get.. Would something in the 2wd or 4wd be better.. I don't want the straight line deal.. I want something to play around with, dirt, grass, you name it..

What about these:
Thunder Tiger ST-1 4WD RTR 1/8th Stadium Truck

Kyosho Inferno ST US Sports Ready Set Truggy

CEN Matrix Arena

i prefer 4 wheel drive. it gets better traction and does better as an all-around basher. they are a little more expensive to maintain due to having more moving parts and drive train components. they are probably a little slower in a straight line than a 2wd, but usually corner better.

i've never used any of the vehicles that you mentioned there, but they're probably good. these days most vehicles from major manufacturers will be fine out of the box.

i like both the Losi xxxNT ad2 and the AE rc10GT2, both are fast and both will destroy the jato in handling.

i personaly wouldent go with a traxxes. i have heard good things aout the st-1 espesaly for the money. i like HPI, the firestorm and the mt2 are both killer vehicles. the savage 4.6 is a little more money but in my opinion its the best MT you can buy
