Which truck would you prefer the Jato or the stadium max i will be using it to just mess arouns some mild jumping and a little of parking lot fun. I know that jato is way faster but is it sturdy enough to still have fun with jumping and messing around in parking lots.

Jato is very tough, very fast, and very fun. Many upgrades are beggining to come out to. Get the jato, you will def not be disapointed. I take mine up jumps all the time and do not break much at all. Havent even broken an arm yet (only rear shock tower from landing upside down 7 ft in the air). Wheelies galore to.

The stadium maxx could be used on alot more terrain, and it would handle the bigger jumps better. But the Jato would definately be faster.

I was wondering what the major differences were between these two myself, I mean both are STs, 2sp trans,use the TRX 2.5, I guess the gearing on the Smaxx is different? does the Smaxx have higher ground clearance?

Ya the stadium maxx looks like the t maxx minus 4 wheel drive. Id say get the jato, its a sweet truck

the stadium maxx IS a t maxx with out 4wd and reverse, so its not a stadium truck like they claim, its a 2WD monster, but yeh get a jato, speed is your friend

What make the S-Maxx not a Stadium Truck. Sportwork's has a ST that is 4 wd.

if you are looking for ground clearance then get the S-Maxx if speed and a low stance get the Jato.

ground clearance and overall design, cog, etc. and your right a ST can be 4wd just not a high ground clearance monster truck.

Dann

but... if a s maxx is a ST and a ST can be 4WD is a T maxx a ST, no, and if i turn up to my local track with a s maxx they are not gonna let it into the ST class.

Since there is no track local I will just go with what you say. I don't agree that the S-Maxx with a low stance and good set of tires would not make it a True ST. JMO
